Lionsgate Releases New Catching Fire Poster Via The Hunger Games Instagram

Lionsgate has been teasing us lately with new photos posted on The Hunger Games Instagram. Following the photo of the Catching Fire hardcover novel that was posted on Instagram, pages of Catching Fire novel were posted over the next few days.

The clues only started adding up when the highlighted line of the quote “The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand.” was posted before 14th May (US time), the day which Lionsgate promised something big will happen on The Hunger Games Instagram.

On the midnight of 15th May 2013 (Singapore time), Lionsgate revealed a new ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ featuring Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) with the tagline “The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand.”

This new ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ poster follows the same oil painting concept of Capitol Portraits. With Katniss Everdeen standing near the cliff and sun rising, it’s clear Katniss Everdeen be an important figure to Panem citizens in ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’.

Fans will no doubt be pleased that an actual line from the Catching Fire novel made it onto the poster, further proving that Lionsgate is planning to stay true to the Catching Fire novel as much as possible.

What do you think of this poster? Do you love it? Do you hate it? Tell us in the comments below!
