“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” has premiered in Paris at Cinema Rex and members of the cast and crew were available to tell the press about the film. Check out these soundbites from director Francis Lawrence, stars Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson and “Hunger Games” producer Nina Jacobson.

“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” will be in theaters Nov. 22. Here’s what you can expect from the film:

“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence) has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (played by Josh Hutcherson). Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is directed by Francis Lawrence, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the second in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins that has more than 65 million copies in print in the U.S. alone.”
