Jennifer Lawrence in the filming of "Hunger Games" near Asheville
Many of our guests returned from day trips in DuPont State Forest last summer to tell us they ran into film crews at the magnificent waterfalls that make that area our favorite hiking spot. Little did we know that the movie in the making would be the biggest cinematic event around here since Baby high-stepped out of her corner in “Dirty Dancing.”
The crew was filming “Hunger Games,” a sci-fi thriller about a life-or-death contest in a post-Apocalytic world.
Jennifer Lawrence plays Katniss Everdeen, one of those chosen to compete. Much of the filming was done in DuPont State Forest, and in Pisgah National Forest near Barnardsville, a short distance from here by the Navitat Canopy Tours attraction. Some of the movie cast rode the ziplines while they were in the neighborhood.
We’re hoping that fans of the Hunger Games book series will make Inn on Main Street their base camp when they make a pilgrimage here.
