-- It's a wrap on Hunger Games' Filming in North Carolina




Principal photography on the highly anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' runaway bestselling novel “The Hunger Games” has wrapped filming in North Carolina. Filmed entirely in the state, 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. Principal photography on the 84-day production began on May 23.  Communities in which the feature shot included  Asheville, Barnardsville, Black Mountain, Cedar Mountain, Charlotte, Concord, Hildebran and Shelby.  The film is set to be released next March 2012.
