Set stalker fans, this is your mission for Catching Fire: Spoilers:

5 'Catching Fire' Scenes We Predict We'll See Being Filmed

Now movie two of the franchise, "Catching Fire", is set to begin filming very shortly, with some of the cast migrating one-by-one down south and potential signs of pre-production already spotted outside of the Georgia Dome. As with the first film, the story includes a lot of outdoor scenes, and, at this point, the world is watching and waiting for this project to come into view, so we predict we'll get to see a little filming action underway for this installment too.

Many of the arena sequences in the Third Quarter Quell's Games take place within the cover of the jungle, but there are also a few key moments in or near water. The beginning of the Games, for instance, are totally water-based. Some ocean scenes can be done in-studio, of course, but it's not nearly as easy to conceal from the public eye a beach-side set (see the boat-line security Summit had to put together for the "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" set in Brazil, e.g.). So, there's a chance we might get to see moments like when Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin) are all recovering from the poisonous gas section of the clock-style arena. Or when Johanna (Jena Malone) evacuates Wiress (Amanda Plummer) and Beetee from the blood rain segment. Hawaiians, get your cameras readied just in case you stumble across some action.

In the beginning of the story, Katniss and Peeta are still victors, so they are sent to dutifully tour the districts of Panem (all the while dealing with the looming threat of President Snow's watchful eye). One of the perks of working in Atlanta is that the city already has a modern monorail system in place, so perhaps locals will spot their trusty trains being used for the movie. All aboard!

Destroyed District 12

The most common early spottings of "The Hunger Games" in production were of various set constructions — Mellark's Bakery, for example. At the tail end of "Catching Fire," Katniss learns that the place she once begrudgingly called home was destroyed while she was out fending off ravenous monkeys and soul-crushing jabberjays. Eagle-eyed as "Hunger Games" fans are, we predict someone may just sleuth out this set of destruction too
