'The Hunger Games' was shot in North Carolina, and the movie has filmed mountainous scenery and Henry River Mill Village as the setting for District 12, says contactmusic.com.

"I'm getting too many visitors. Day and night, they're driving through, taking pictures, getting out and walking. I'm just bombarded with people," an 83-year-old property owner of the reason has been quoted as saying to Associated Press.

The film, that is adaptation of bestselling book of the same name, is set in a post-apocalyptic world where teenagers are forced to compete in annual fighting games that may claim their lives.
