• To avoid information leaks and keep the project secret, the film was known by the working title Seashore («The Beach») during filming.
• Philip Seymour Hoffman, who played Plutarch Heavensbee, tragically died a week before filming ended. Since most of his scenes for the two final films had already been shot, they decided not to recast the role and finished working on it by making some changes to the script.
• Julianne Moore said she was persuaded to take on the role of Alma Coin by her own children, who really like the original novel.
• Jodie Foster was considered for the role of Alma Coin.
• The first film in the series to be shot digitally.
