The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - More of Katniss and Peeta

"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire"

"The Hunger Games," which was released on March 23, 2012 in the United States, was a huge success. It was a science fiction action/adventure tale that told the story of Katniss, a teenage girl who volunteers in place of her younger sister to participate in a mandatory survival-of-the-fittest annual affair called "The Hunger Games."

The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which a tyrranical government controls twelve subsidiary districts, each of which must send two teenage representatives to the Hunger Games each year. Katniss and her male partner from her district, Peeta, win the competition, killing off all the others, and show strong signs of having a deep love affair.

This is the first poster released of the "Victory Tour."

Here are pictures from the set. Obviously, the bows and arrows are once again taking lead billing:









The sequel will revolve around Katniss and Peeta going on a victory tour for President Snow. They sense a rebellion may be brewing in the 12 Districts against central authority. Meanwhile, the Capitol prepares for the 75th Annual Hunger Games - The Quarter Quell.

There is not much known about the sequel beyond this cover story.
