Lionsgate Films UK has officially announced and detailed its upcoming Blu-ray releases of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Taylor St. Clair, Woody Harrelson, Sandra Ellis Lafferty, and Paula Malcomson. Street date is March 17th.
Jennifer Lawrence reprises her role as Katniss Everdeen in the second instalment of the sci-fi adventure trilogy based on the novel by Suzanne Collins. Fresh from her triumph in the 74th Annual Hunger Games, Katniss, along with fellow winner Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), returns home to District 12 for some much needed rest. But soon after, while on a 'Victory Tour' of the other districts, she becomes aware of growing dissent to the Capitol's rule, and realises that rebellion is in the air. As Panem prepares itself for the third 'Quarter Quell' (75th Hunger Games), autocratic ruler President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland), still smarting from the Capitol's humiliation in the last games, stacks the deck to ensure that the upcoming tournament will wipe out any resistance from the districts once and for all.
Note: In addition to the standard Blu-ray release, Lionsgate will also release 2-disc Blu-ray (a Triple Play which also includes a DVD and Ultraviolet digital copy), as well as a SteelBook version of the Triple Play release and The Hunger Games/Catching Fire Double Feature on Blu-ray and DVD. Finally, a Limited Edition with six-disc set containing both films on all formats, art cards, exclusive content and features, will be available exclusively from Amazon UK.
