"The Hunger Games" is based on the opening novel in a wildly popular futuristic trilogy by Suzanne Collin. The film was shot on locations and sets from Concord to Barnardsville, N.C.

Officials with the North Carolina Film Office said Tuesday they are in talks with Lionsgate about filming the second installment, "Catching Fire," here as well.
