Real-World Locations of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay

Doubling Up for Panem

Locations have always been an integral part of movie making and Tripwire’s friends over at CNET picked up a few of the locations used for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay…

The final episode in the Hunger Games series, starring Jennifer Lawrence as heroic Katniss Everdeen, sees an army of rebels storm the Capitol, seat of government in the nightmarish world of Panem. To create the opulent Capitol, director Francis Lawrence filmed in many real buildings in Atlanta and Boston, Paris and Berlin. Here’s the trailer:

Espaces d’Abraxas, Noisy-le-Grand, Paris. Designed by Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill, the imposing building is nestled in a picturesque commune in the eastern suburbs of Paris, and was also used as a location for Terry Gilliam’s 1985 dystopia Brazil.

Tempelhof Airport, Tempelhof, Berlin. Opened in 1923, Tempelhof was the site of the Berlin Airlift. It was closed in 2008. You can see the aged airport’s brutal concrete throughout the trailer.

Messe, Berlin. You may not be familiar with the vast Messe conference centre, but you’ll have seen what goes on inside: It’s the home of annual technology trade show IFA, which has run since 1924. Look out for the orange pillars in the trailer. It’s also used for action scenes in Captain America: Civil War.
