The Hunger Games Peacekeepers
The Hunger Games movie crew is about to head out of Sheby, NC, where they’ve been filming a bunch of District 12 scenes. Thanks to twitpics put out by @_mattamy here’s a peek at what the Peacekeepers look like.
Meantime the locals at Shelby say they will be sad to see everyone move on. The Charlotte Observer reports on the excitement The Hunger Games brought to Shelby and on the economic benefits a major film production can bring to a town.
According to Jackie Sibley, director of Tour Cleveland County, the current project “brings a new level of excitement…”
She said moviemakers picked Shelby because they were looking for warehouse space and “we’ve got a lot of that here.”
The movie’s economic impact has been significant.
“All the hotels are full,” Sibley said. “They’ve hired off-duty police officers. They’re renting space, eating at local restaurants. They’re spending a lot of dollars.”
Jeanette Sun, 42, owner of Ni Fen Wine and Tapas met “The Hunger Games” cast member Elizabeth Banks, who came by a few minutes before Ni Fen closed one night.
Although Banks didn’t stick around, movie crew members visit in the afternoons “to use the Wi-Fi and chill out,” Sun said. “They’re very nice.”
Chris Canoutas, owner of Pleasant City Wood Fired Grille, said crews are regulars at his place.
“They come in for lunch and late dinner, just to wind down,” he said. “I’ve seen a 15 percent increase in business, at least, Anything that brings people downtown we’re for it.”
For me their helmets just ruin thier whole outfit. looks to childish i expexted more amrour and badass.
Wow. Looks amazing!
Hmm I expected black suits, almost like the suits policemen wear. With gold finishes and gold embroidery “Peace Keepers” on the right shoulder. What about you guys?
The Peacekeepers look awsome !!!!……. The helmets look a little weird though
Did anybody else see the video of this man as he tours the set and even gets footage of some of the extras? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQjTWsyvyiU
not exactly wat i saw..i imagined like grey robes or something idk but yah i can see this it looks great
oh yea i like this but I imagined them dressed as the other people except nicer, like what a man would wear to work if he worked at an office. I just excpected them to have a badge…a pistol… like a police officer because even though its the job of a peacekeeper its still a poor district
They look amazing! But they look like toy soliders…
The Helmets do look weird. They look like they are forzen. 
And to all you people who says the colour is wrong, no, it said white in the book. But Im not judging because I thought of fencing uniforms when ever I thought of what Peacekeepers look like….
Only 293 days!
Hope it is in 3D! 
Whats up with the helmets? otherwise the peacekeepers look amazing!
They look sooo awesome and creepy!!! Ah! it kinda makes me happy
Wow they look great! And the color is right. I think they were described with white uniforms so they just look perfect to me
As I imagined them.
The Peacekeeper’s helmets look a bit goofy, but other than that the costumes are great!
more armor seems cooler and that helmet is wierd.
The helmets really do look like bike helmets, and let’s all be honest… The Bike Cop is the least intimidating of the cops… It’s hard to take those helmets seriously.
Well the helmets do seem odd but other than that i like the costume and the color is meant to be white go back to the book.
It’s not exactly how I imagined it but ihht looks gewwd:):)
they kinda look cheesy…… maybe they will look better in the HG movie!
If you get pictures for a movie coming out in around a year, don’t complain!
Be happy! Anyway, they are trying hard to make the movie come alive for us. But escpecially don’t say anything bad about the helmets… yet at least, because you can’t even see them from the front. And things look different on camera anyway. The uniforms are white so they got the main point across in my mind, there’s not much they can do to fit everyone’s fancy. But really I can’t wait for the movie to come out, and I’m so excited to see how everything turns out on camera!
Hmmm, intresting. The white matches how they were described in the books, but their helmets, well, I would laugh at them if I was fighting a war against them. No wonder they got their asses kicked in Mockingjay. I though they would go with the kind of helmets the US military uses today, just in white. Also, I am surprised at how thin that appears to be bullet proof vest on their torso. I though it would be more thick and would have all their equipment on it (handcuffs, ammo, flashbangs, radio, pepper spray, etc) and also it would be black to match their white uniform and boots. Basiclly, I thought their uniforms would something along the lines of SWAT Team exept in white. Just go to google images and type in “swat” and you will see what I mean. All in all, I’m disappionted.
They look like aliens or astronaunts, not at all what i pictured. too fancy or futuristc its set in the future but not like this and all technology-ish
