As previously reported, Lionsgate has confirmed that principle photography on The Hunger Games movie has wrapped filming.

In a new release, Lionsgate reveals more about the filming process itself. For example, filming began May 23rd and lasted 84 days. Lionsgate also talks more about the locations used throughout North Carolina:

the locations spanned from a dense forest in which the arena that hosts the games themselves was created to a town that stood in for Katniss’ home, District 12, to a sound stage that was the platform for the fantastical sights and sounds of The Capitol, the futuristic capital city of the nation of Panem.

The sets were closed to press and visitors, though a few leaked photos did make their way online for brief spurts before Lionsgate asked them to be removed. Five fans and their guests also won visits to the set, the only exceptions to the closed set policy.

We’ve been quite literally waiting days for this, and now that it’s here, we don’t quite know what to say. It’s a teaser photo. It’s “The Hunger Games.” It’s… it’s… HOLYOMG YOU GUYS, IT’S KATNISS IN DANGER!!!! AAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!

*Cough.*

Er, sorry. Lost control for a second, there! But as always, nonstop high-pitched squealing conveys what mere words cannot: Namely, that we’ve got an exclusive sneak peek at a still from the hotly-anticipated dystopian action-drama, and it is glorious.

Production for the upcoming movie ‘Hunger Games’ took over uptown Charlotte Wednesday.

Trucks carrying lights and other production equipment lined up outside Knight Theater at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center.  Signs around the area directed the crew towards the set inside the theater.

Two police officers were seen monitoring the area.  One of them told NewsChannel 36 he had to turn away a few celebrity-seeking photographers earlier Wednesday morning.

The movie shoot is expected to head to Concord on Thursday.

Production on The Hunger Games movie has been quietly moving along in North Carolina, with little to no official news being released by Lionsgate about how things are progressing.

Filming began in late May, and it seems crews are now prepping studio work on some scenes that take place in the Capitol. According to Russ Bowen, a reporter for Asheville’s MY40/News13, crews will begin filming Capitol scenes next week at an old Philip Morris plant in Concord, North Carolina. The plant is part of a 2,100 acre property.
