I love the marketing campaign for The Hunger Games: Catching FireLionsgate Marketing Chief Tim Palen took a series of pictures for the film, which we are featuring below. They are part of the online fashion magazine, Capitol Couture. Variety magazine did a piece on Palen and spoke with Hunger Games author, Suzanne Collins about the shoot.

The stunning image of Katniss in her wedding dress that we use to sell tickets is just the kind of thing the Capitol would use to rev up its audience for the Quarter Quell (the name of the games in ‘Catching Fire’). That dualistic approach is very much in keeping with the books.”[/box_light]
