Over in Charlotte, the Convention Centre became the set for the Tributes’ fiery chariot entrance, with interviews with Caesar Flickerman taking place at Charlotte’s downtown Knight Theatre. Katniss and Peeta are swept to the glittering Capitol, where the Tributes’ training centre scenes were filmed inside abandoned cigarette manufacturer the Philip Morris Cabarrus Plant in Concord. All these are private property, but you can look at them from the outside. Rows of commercial buildings alongside railway tracks on Shelby’s South Morgan Street at Blanton Street became 12’s industrial area. 📷 warehouses in Shelby stood in for District 12’s barter market the Hob and the Reaping ceremony location, where Katniss and Peeta are chosen as their area’s Tributes. To find the exact setting, follow the detailed instructions here. Additionally, the Corner Rock area by the creek was used later in the story as outside surroundings for the Arena cave Katniss and Peeta hide in (interiors were mocked-up on a sound stage). It’s part of Pisgah National Forest, near Barnardsville on Route 197 / North Forks Road, northeast of Asheville. North Carolina’s Big Ivy Area, known locally as the Coleman Boundary, doubled up as District 12’s forest where Gale and Katniss hunt. Marks are left from production, with Peeta’s bakery still bearing its sign. It’s private property, but you can drive through via the Henry River Road (leave Interstate 40 via Exit 119, named the Henry River exit). Houses in the 72-acre village have sat empty since the community left after manufacturing collapsed in the mid-80s. District 12Ībandoned textiles town Henry River Mill Village became the screen location of the run-down District 12. Fitting really, as author Suzanne Collins notes Katniss’s home District 12 – the “smallest, poorest district,” – is located in what was once Appalachia.
HUNGER GAMES PART ONECAST MOVIE
You have been warned… Real-life filming locations for ‘The Hunger Games’ (2012)įilmed entirely in North Carolina, the first Hunger Games movie brought Panem, its Capitol, Districts and Games Arena to life in a variety of NC’s urban and rural settings.
Think you can survive finding every single filming spot across all four movies? Well, I wish you happy Hunger Games-hunting – and may the odds be ever in your favour… NOTE: This post is SPOILER-HEAVY.
My mistake shows how otherworldly this slick-looking dystopian drama can look – but really, many shoot locations are easy to visit for fans. Not true: from North Carolina to Hawaii to Paris, you can follow in the footsteps of the ass-kicking Katniss Everdeen (played to perfection by Jennifer Lawrence). Before I started researching the real-life locations for the Hunger Games trilogy, I was convinced most of it was shot in a studio.
