Harrelson plays Haymitch Abernathy, a middle-aged drunkard who formerly won the Hunger Games and is a mentor for the competitors from the downtrodden District 12 in a post-apocalyptic America.

Monday on "CBS This Morning," Harrelson said the film will be shot in Atlanta, and in Hawaii. "The part I'm not in is going to be shot in Hawaii, which happens to be where I live. It's one of life's ironies."
