The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Final Poster

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) looks fierce on this final theatrical poster for the November 22, 2013 release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Directed by Francis Lawrence, this second film of the series also features Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Donald Sutherland, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Lenny Kravitz, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, and Willow Shields.

The Plot:

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.

Commenting on his cast, executive producer Giles Ridge said, “Each member of the cast has brought a brilliantly fresh and unique approach to these wonderful characters. I can’t think of anyone better than Rosamund to bring back to life the fabulous Lady Penelope and we are honoured that David Graham has joined the cast to revisit his role as Parker.”

ITV’s working on 26 30-minute episodes with Rob Hoegee as head writer, David Scott as series director, and Theo Baynton as episodic director.

IFC LogoIFC has just greenlit two projects, giving the new series Garfunkel & Oates a spot on the network’s 2014 lineup and American Storage a pilot order. Garfunkel & Oates, starring the comedy duo of Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci, will have a season one run of 10 thirty minute episodes. American Storage follows the friendship of a storage facility employee and the man who lives in one of the units.
 
“We are huge fans of Riki and Kate; their humor is fresh and accessible and they’ll be a great fit alongside The Spoils of Babylon, Portlandia, Maron and other shows on the horizon,” stated Jennifer Caserta, IFC’s president and general manager, announcing the new shows. “Everyone we work with shares our sensibility and passion for creating authentic comedies, and these new relationships will further complement our expanding roster of original programming.”
 
Details on Garfunkel & Oates:
 
Garfunkel & Oates centers on the aspirations and misadventures of the female comedy-folk duo Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel) and Kate Micucci (Oates), and will spotlight the personal and professional lives of the duo whose career choices – singing satirical and sometimes dirty songs – leaves them with little in common with their peers, and no one but each other to turn to for support and understanding.
 
Details on American Storage:
 
What happens when a straight-laced employee at a storage facility befriends the eccentric man he discovers living in one of the units? American Storage is based on the short film of the same name co-written by Andrew Jay Cohen (Neighbors) and Brendan O’Brien (Neighbors) and directed by Cohen.

CBS’ on-again/off-again relationship with Unforgettable is on once again. The network officially announced the renewal of the dramatic series for a third season.
 
The renewal comes as a bit of a surprise as the network cancelled the series after season one, then brought it back for a season two run that didn’t even air all of its episodes. But according to CBS, Unforgettable averaged 8.23 million viewers over the course of season two which is good enough to earn a renewal.
 
The season three renewal will give the series 13 new episodes that will air next summer.
 
The Plot:
 
Unforgettable stars Poppy Montgomery as a police detective with a rare condition that allows her to remember and readily access the details of every moment in her life, and Dylan Walsh as her ex-boyfriend and partner. It also stars Jane Curtain, Dallas Roberts, James Hiroyuki and Tawny Cypress.
