'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Movie: New Details; Set to Film in Atlanta; Prim's Future (Video)

North Carolina was in the favor for the first "Hunger Games" movie, but now filmmakers will move on to a different location: Georgia.

Celebuzz said they confirmed that "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," the film adaption based on Suzanne Collins' second book in the trilogy, will film in Atlanta, GA.

"Sources close to the production tell us various locations in Georgia are currently being looked at for "Victor's Village" in District 12 - the affluent neighborhood where winners of the Hunger Games live. In the book, the victor is given a luxurious home for winning the Games," reported Celebuzz.

There are only three victors from District 12: Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark and Haymitch. Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) live together, while Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) lives on his own.

Katniss' mansion is described as white and clean; Haymitch's mansion has more of a cottage feel with wooden windows.

For the last movie, the film was show in an abandoned mill town in Hildebran, N.C., according to the Examiner, and was used as the set for many District 12 scenes, including Katniss Everdeen's house and Peeta Mellark's bakery.

In more recent news about the anticipated movie, actress Willow Shields, who play's Katniss' sister in the movies, told The Hollywood Reporter about the future of her character and the fun she wants to have filming.

"For my character, I'm really excited to do a scene with Woody Harrelson and Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer [Lawrence] where we're making fun of Katniss and stuffing our faces with candy," Shields tells THR. "It should be a lot of fun."

Shields said that she's already thinking about her work in the sequel, even though the project is still in relatively early stages of development.

"I have read Catching Fire, so I do have an idea of what's going to go on. But we haven't really found out a lot about it yet, so we're just waiting to see. And I am thinking about Prim, about how she's going to act. But I'm still doing a little thinking about that."

In an interview with MTV News at Comic-Con 2012 San Diego, Shields said about the production starting, ""We heard rumors about fall, but we're not exactly sure when. It's still a secret from me too."

She also expressed her excitement to play the important role of Prim. "I'm excited to grow up with Prim's character, because, you know, I have basically three more movies, but I'm going to be 15 or 16 by the end, but I started off when I was 10," she said. "So it's going to be really interesting to go start to finish and just to see what a difference my acting has become, and just growing up with that character is going to be really fun."

"Catching Fire" has a release date of November 22, 2013. "May the odds be ever in your favor!"
