‘Catching Fire’ begins filming in Atlanta in September, Extras Needed

This morning, during an appearance on CBS This Morning, Woody Harrelson confirmed the sequel to The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, will begin filming next month in Atlanta.

During the interview he noted, “The part I’m not in is going to be shot in Hawaii, which happens to be where I live. It’s one of life’s ironies.”

As for the Hawaii shoot, according to Tim Ryan’s Reel Hawaii, “after scouting Kauai, Maui, Hawaii island, and Oahu, executives for Hunger Games: Catching Fire selected Oahu as a location for four to five weeks of filming beginning as early as November.”

With filming gearing up to start in a matter of weeks, a local Atlanta casting agency has started looking for extras.

Below is a recent casting call for The Idiom which seems to be the working title for Catching Fire.

  2. i live in ontario canada and it would be literally a dream come true to even be an extra in this movie obviously i will go the distance if required plz email me more info

  3. Can I have the exact location in where it’s filming in Atlanta? I know it’s in Henry County, but is it in a park? If so which one? Please Answer! My friend and I are trying to go there and see the actors/actresses… and possibly be extras! Thanks for anyone who answers this!

    • They are supposed to be filming at the Georgia World Congress center, and a few other places which I don’t know, but if your going to be an extra you need to send in an email, and FAST too, because I know they’re about to start filming, and from the sounds of things if you wait any longer your not going to get in.
      May the odds be ever in your favor!

    • Well I play soccer and today (October 13th) we played at the Howard School which is right across from the Goat Farm Arts Center which is on Foster Street in Atlanta which is where they are filming currently (me and my friends flipped out when we drove up and saw policemen then the set which was legitimately 10 feet from our field)

  4. I live in Clarke County and I have been obsessing over hunger games ever since book one! It would be a dream come true to be a part of this phenominal experience!!

  5. I’m kind of confused. 50% of people are saying that extras are casting in wilmington, NC and 50% are saying its in Atlanta. I’d love to be an extra but the only way is if it’s in Atlanta. Wilmington is too far away.

  6. I live in Atlanta and I can only wish them luck finding skinny people here. “The Walking Dead” has already using what few we had…

  7. Do I just send my picture, resume, and headshots??? Then do I get to be in the movie??? Could someone please respond cause I’ve found about 5 websites with a lot of different info.

    • You submit your pictures, and resume. If you fit the part they are looking to fill, then they will contact you will call time and location. Once you get the location, please do NOT post about it, as they do not want to have super fans showing up and delaying the filming. They need professional actors and extras ONLY, please do not submit if you are just a fan trying to meet famous people.

  8. Hi! I was interested in being an extra in catching fire, so I sent you and email with all my information, but the email wont send because it is saying your email inbox is full. when you have time can you please get back to me? eden.semel4@gmail.com
    Thank you!

  9. Damn it, When I was first told about this, I was hoping I would have at least a solid month of starving myself before they needed the extras.

    • They don’t release the official filming date and location. They don’t want people around set, not only is it a distraction (I just realized how Finnick Odair that sounded), but there are people with bad intentions, unlike you and I, and the fandooommm 😀

  10. I tried last month and again today and both time our e-mails did not go through. I even cut and pasted the e-mail address in case I misread the first letter~ is it an l or and I? Did anyone else have any problems?

  11. IS IT TOO LATE TO SUBMIT MY EMAIL TO THEM?!?!?!?!?!?!? Please reply Ive been trying to start acting for YEARS!! I know i sound desperate but this is big!!!!!!!!

  14. I heard you were looking for a female “military type” for casting in this current “Catching Fire” Hunger Games movie.

    I served during the Iraqi War from 2004-2006 with the U.S. Navy Nurse Corps and was deployed with U.S. Military Hospital Kuwait.

    I love the Hunger Games series and would love to be a part of this movie, especially as a returning
    War Veteran.

    Thank you so much, in advance, for your consideration!

    Sincerely,
    Allison Travis
