'The Hunger Games' Sequel 'Catching Fire' Gets 'Twilight' Title Treatment
Briefly: Ask most people if they're excited for the sequel to The Hunger Games and they'd probably say "Yes." Ask those same people if they're excited for Catching Fire and they might say "What's that?" Catching Fire is the title of the second Hunger Games book by Suzanne Collins but, just to avoid any confusion, Lionsgate is officially titling the sequel film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. It's the same name recognition strategy Summit employed for Twilight films that followed the first installment, calling them The Twilight Saga followed by the book title.
Directed by Francis Lawrence and returning main actors Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Donald Sutherland and others, the film is scheduled for release November 22, 2013.
