The Swan House at the Atlanta History Center was one of many Georgia set locations used during the filming of the movie The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
The Atlanta History Center’s Capitol Tour experience offers visitors an opportunity to pay tribute to Atlanta’s burgeoning film industry as well as Swan House’s new chapter in cinematic history. The Capitol Tour experience includes a guided tour through Swan House showcasing the rooms that were used during filming. Visitors will have exclusive admittance to a behind-the-scenes exhibit displaying photos from the production at Swan House and select props from the film. Snap a photo at two unique photo opportunities presenting recreations of portions of sets from scenes in the movie. Once the tour leaves the interior of Swan House, visitors may head outdoors to explore the gardens and lawn and capture more photo opportunities from the film.
After your tour, be sure to stop by the Museum Shop for official Hunger Games merchandise.
The Capitol Tour ticket is $10 + the price of general Atlanta History Center admission. Parking is free. Capitol Tours are reserved onsite at the time of your arrival. Capitol Tours are available from 1:00 to 5:00 pm, with the last tour scheduled at 4:30 pm.

Buttercup is the right color in Catching Fire! I repeat, Buttercup is the right color! A funny little sticking point for some of us in the fandom was that they made Buttercup, Prim's cat, black and white in The Hunger Games. Well, fear not fandom, Buttercup is now back to his original color!
Much more to come from the November issue of Seventeen Magazine very soon!

The Catching Fire interviews we've been waiting for are starting to trickle out. Thanks to our friends at QuarterQuell.org, we've got a look at scans and some of the article from the Catching Fire feature in the December issue of Sci Fi Magazine. Tara Bennett spoke with Francis Lawrence and Jena Malone, and gave a few extra snippets from the article on her blog.
Francis Lawrence on Catching Fire:
“I had never planned on doing a sequel to anything where there is an established world, but part of what I saw in Catching Fire was a large opportunity to create and not just have to go back,” he admits. “This story for me is where everything starts to take off. The characters are very different because they are changed by the games. The world is very different. It’s winter in District 12 and we see different parts of it like the Victor’s Village. We also go to districts we haven’t been to before. The Arena is completely different. I thought there was an opportunity to humanize Effie (Elizabeth Banks) and Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), as well as the opportunity to add new cast.”
“So there was plenty of opportunity for world building, which is something I like to do, but I loved where the story went. I love that the stakes were ratcheted up for the world and I liked where the love triangle started to go”
