First Filming Location for The Hunger Games Revealed
A worker selects aged wood for the movie set of the upcoming movie “Artemis,” which will be filmed during the week of May 18-26 at the old Henry River Mill village of Hildebran.
According to The Hickory Daily Record, Hildebran, NC will be one of the first filming locations for the The Hunger Games movie.
Henry River Mill village will be the site of filming for the movie “Artemis,” which is a working title for the book “The Hunger Games,” say locals who have been in contact with movie officials.
Filming will take place on Henry River Road, which is a main road running from Interstate 40 to the village and farther on to Advent Crossroads in Catawba County, will be closed at the village, said Doug McNeal, engineer for North Carolina Department of Transportation District 13. He said the portion of the road will close at 6 a.m. May 19 and open at 5 p.m. May 26.
But residents in the area also have been buzzing about the filming.
“People around here are kind of excited about it,” Town Clerk Ella Caudle said. She said those associated with the
film have been tight-lipped about it. Locals involved say movie officials asked them not to say anything about the filming.Chuck Moseley, the retired director of community affairs for Valdese, said Advantage West, an economic development group based in Asheville, contacted him several months ago asking if he knew of any old mill villages. Moseley took Advantage West officials to several locations in Burke County, including Hildebran and Connelly Springs. Moseley said Henry River Mill village ended up being a perfect fit for what movie officials wanted.

can’t wait to get in the first images of the film
don’t see why they didn’t make the working title The Hunger Games because really working titiles don’t have to be changed and there is no need to change this one’s
as long as they remain faithful to the book and actually make the actors look like the characters and have non-cheap acting and put on a good show with epic special effects I am good though that is a big order. I have high standards
Haha the actors won’t look the same, they might remain faithful, they will change the title, and there might be some bad acting, the set seems nice though. The special effects better be fricken awesome. I want flames and wolfs dangit!
*wolves
