Happy Birthday to the wonderful Suzanne Collins! Her amazing Hunger Games trilogy has changed our lives, and we are inspired each and every day by the world she created in Panem.

Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer said this morning that the announcement of Coldplay's new Song "ATLAS" on the Catching Fire soundtrack was only the first of several announcements promoting the movie with a "100-day Countdown" to the release starting next week.
Feltheimer touted the announcement Friday morning during a call with analysts following the release of better-than-expected earnings for the studio’s first quarter ended June 30.
What can we expect for the 100-day Countdown? Definitely more announcements about artists included on the Catching Fire soundtrack. And we know Capitol Couture launches their new edition, Zoetic Sol next week. With the new edition, the new feature "Game Faces" begins, but there's no indication whether we're getting NEW portraits of the victors or if they're using the Quarter Quell portraits:
Over the next few weeks, a Capitol Couture style jury will evaluate the portraits of our victors for their allure and polish. Our judges include a makeup artist, hair stylist and physical trainer. No doubt, each victor’s prep team will anxiously await the scores. Victors will be ranked from one to ten, based on their coifs, pouts and poise.
Maybe a puzzle hunt like last year? Be prepared for the madness to start on Tuesday, August 10th when we'll officially be at 100 days to the Catching Fire premiere!
Stay Tuned!
P.S. Coldplay's song, “Atlas,” will be available through iTunes and other digital retailers through Republic Records. Lionsgate is releasing the film amid sky-high expectations on Nov. 22. Click HERE for more details on the Coldplay collab, including song lyrics.

Coldplay tweeted the lyrics to "ATLAS"
There's some exciting Catching Fire news this morning! Coldplay is the first official artist attached to the upcoming Catching Fire soundtrack. They'll contribute a new song called "ATLAS" that will be available for download on 8/26. This is the first time Coldplay has ever recorded an original song for a motion picture. And lead singer Chris Martin is a fan of the books!
Francis Lawrence says,
“I have great respect and admiration for Coldplay, and we are thrilled with how well they have connected to the themes and ideas within the film. Their unwavering passion and excitement for the project elevated the collaboration even further, and we can’t wait to share this music with audiences around the world.”

Now HERE'S the new information (along with some old information) we were looking for last night when we cracked the digital edition of EW. Just posted to EW's Inside Movies Blog is an interview with Francis Lawrence and producer Nina Jacobson:
First off, let Catching Fire director Frances Lawrence assure the ardent fans of Suzanne Collins Hunger Games series that their sacred text will always be honored: “The movie is very, very true to the book,” he says. But when he first met Collins last spring, the two hunkered down and hammered out a new beat sheet for the sequel. And together they were merciless about what wouldn’t serve the screenplay adaptation. Here’s three changes readers should expect in the film (in theaters November 22):
1) “We made some changes to Peeta’s narrative,” says Lawrence. “We manned him up a little. And by the way it didn’t take a lot, just little choices to make here and there. The story doesn’t really change, his relationship with Katniss doesn’t change, he’s just a different kind of character.” For instance, in the book, the Hunger Games kicks off and Peeta is paralyzed when the other all-star tributes dive into the water. “The option is for either me drowning or sitting there like a cat batting my paw into the water,” says Josh Hutcherson with a laugh. “Either way the visual is horrible.” Easy fix: Let Peeta swim.
2) Goodbye Bonnie and Twill. In the book, Katniss stumbles upon the District 8 refugees in her father’s hunting cabin. There they reveal to a stunned Katniss the existence of District 13 and news of the spreading revolution our hero unintentionally sparked with her act of rebellion at the end of The Hunger Games. So the movie had to find a new way to introduce the news of District 13. “That’s fun,” says Lawrence, “figuring out new ways around things and new ways of doing things.”
3) Darius, we hardly know ye. District 12′s youngest peacekeeper, who pays dearly for intervening during that terrible scene of Gale’s public whipping, didn’t make the jump from page to screen. It’s another instance of storytellers having to drown one of their kittens. “It’s as agonizing for us to lose things from the book as it is for a fan,” says producer Nina Jacobson. “I want every single thing in there. But you know what? If you have to give up something in order to give more time to Katniss and Gale or to Effie as she starts to feel a conscience, you make the sacrifices in order to serve the characters and themes that are more essential.”
