The hype machine surrounding Catching Fire, the sequel to the 2010 mega-hit The Hunger Games, kicks into high gear with Coldplay’s “Atlas,” the band’s contribution to the soundtrack, which has no release date as of yet.

Catching Fire, the second installment in the film adaptation trilogy, hits theaters November 22nd.
