Molly Thu, September 5, 2013 Ed Sheeran spoke with Click 98.9 before his gig in Seattle last Saturday night, and he confirms that he wrote and pitched three songs for the Catching Fire soundtrack but they were all turned down. Boo! It turns out the rumors were NOT true this time around.
Ed talks about the Catching Fire Soundtrack at the 3:48 mark:
Thanks to The Hob for finding this video!
Molly Thu, September 5, 2013 Our friends at The Hob found a great interview from HuffPost Live with our Beetee, Jeffrey Wright, talking about Catching Fire and the deep meaning it has to the fans - and fansites - he spoke with at Comic Con.
Jeffrey Wright:
It's been a fantastic experience and as a matter of fact, when I finish Boardwalk we're going to go back in and start filming the next installments. But Catching Fire, which is the second of the books, comes out Thanksgiving and it's an EPIC, epic story. It does have all the bells and whistles. It's big budget stuff, but at the same time there are some interesting themes being addressed, particularly for younger audiences.
We went out to Comic Con and promoted the trailer, and I had the opportunity to talk to some of the more enthusiastic fans who've set up some of the websites, and they're hardcore. It was great because I asked each of them, 'Why are you so passionate about this stuff?' Each of them had an individual answer unique to their own experiences. You know, some of it was political, some of it was because they were drawn to this strong female hero at the center of it. Some of it was because they found themselves in some of the other characters who had struggles that were similar to their own. But it wasn't superficial, it was all very personal and I think that's exciting. You have big budget, thrilling film making but you also have elements that touch people in very honest ways, and I'm all for it.

Thanks to our good friends at The Hob, we've just found out that US Weekly will release a Special Issue on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and you can pre-order it now from Barnes & Noble for $10.79. The issue will be released on November 1st. Last year, US Weekly did a Special Issue for The Hunger Games and it was filled with behind the scenes info, posters and tons of photos - well worth the price.

Catching Fire costume designer Trish Summerville received the Costume Designer of the Year Award for film at last night's 10th Annual Style Awards, which kicked off Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City.
Here's what she had to say about her favorite pieces from Catching Fire:
“Probably the two pieces are Johanna’s chariot costume and also Katniss’ [at] President Snow’s gala; the Victory Tour party costume. It’s embroidered in the shape of feathers and flames. And then Johanna’s chariot costume is a bodysuit that has three-dimensional printing on it, and a leather corset inspired by — because she’s from the lumber district — so the corset looks like a tree. We literally took pieces of bark off of a tree and headed to a printer to have them scan it and make all of the pieces look like bark.”
Thanks to HG Girl On Fire for this info!
