Eentertainment Weekly Hunger Games Article

Published by admin on February 1st, 2012

(EW.com) — With less than two months to go before the March 23 premiere of “The Hunger Games,” the first installment of Suzanne Collins’ breathlessly addicting trilogy, director Gary Ross is already predicting the possibility of another nomination for his 21-year-old star Jennifer Lawrence come next year’s Oscars.

“The range in this performance, the emotional terrain that she investigates, the demands of what this role are,” he raves of Lawrence’s portrayal of series heroine Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old forced alongside other children into a televised fight-to-the-death. “It’s such an intensely physical role and an emotional one. She carries the entire movie. To be able to do that at that age is so kind of incredible that I was in a little bit of awe. Do I think she should be nominated? Absolutely.”

Ross and Lawrence bonded hard on the 83-day shoot, weathering the sweltering North Carolina heat and afternoon storms together.

“We were all a family,” says Lawrence. “Everything that I love about the movie, and everything that got me to say yes to this movie, was Gary.”

On set, however, she says Ross liked to float the possibility of him leaving everyone in the hands of a new director.

“He wanted me to worry about it, because he enjoys my anxiety,” she says with a laugh. “That was a huge, huge thing that he used to lure over my head. Like a bastard!”

Lawrence says that because of the tremendous rapport enjoyed by the cast and crew, she always assumed Ross would sign on again for “Catching Fire,” but it was still a hand-wringer.

“I still don’t know for sure,” she says. “Is he definitely doing it?” she asks EW. Indeed!

Ross shared with EW his love for the meaty material that soon awaits them. SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!

“I love the title ‘Catching Fire’ because from the moment Katniss was willing to eat the berries,” he says, “the moment she was willing to give her life for something larger than herself, she set off a chain reaction that was at once bigger than her and also because of her. That’s a very exciting movie to make because you’re seeing the emergence of a leader. It’s the birth of a revolution so it has context that’s larger than just the Games themselves.”

There’s a risk when signing onto a franchise, especially one as beloved and anticipated as “The Hunger Games,” that the weight of an iconic role will leave the star herself feeling crushed. Lawrence herself sounds surprised herself by how ready she is to shoulder Katniss’ burdens once more.

“Signing onto the movies I was like, ‘Well, I’ll probably love the first one and then I’ll just want to get the rest of them out of the way,’” she says. “But I can’t wait to start training. As soon as they were like ‘We need to start training in July,’ I was like ‘Woohoo!’ I can’t wait to get back.” She pauses to laugh. “Though I don’t know if that’s because I think we might shoot in Hawaii.”

The tropical location would make sense, as much of “Catching Fire’s” pivotal action takes place on a Capitol-constructed beach. Just yet another reason for Lawrence to look forward to the shoot.

‘Hunger Games’ Stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson Are Musically Minded

Published by admin on February 1st, 2012

Fans have been jumping on news about the original score for “The Hunger Games,” ever since the first whispered rumor that Jennifer Lawrence herself would be singing a song on the film’s soundtrack—an appropriate level of enthusiasm considering how much music becomes the language of the Panem revolution. So it’s no surprise that the stars of the film, all “Hunger Games” fans themselves, are also a seriously musical bunch.

“Music is a huge part of my life,” Josh Hutcherson confirmed when @vic_rendueles asked via our fan question call whether the “Hunger Games” actors shared their characters’ enthusiasm and which music inspired them in their work. “If I feel off for a couple of days, chances are I’ve not been listening to enough music—it’s that important to me. But I listen to everything from ’60s rock and roll to the Arctic Monkeys to the Black Keys to dubstep, so it’s literally full-on schizophrenic, my music taste”

And Jennifer Lawrence, professing her love for talented instrumentalists like the Black Keys and Jack White, confessed that she’s as psyched for the soundtrack as she is for the Games themselves: “I’m really looking forward to the musical part of the movie; T-Bone Burnett is producing it, and he’s the best in the world, so I’m really looking forward to that.”

As are we! Because with a soundtrack featuring not just Jennifer’s vocal chops, but also the stylings of Taylor Swift, Arcade Fire, The Secret Sisters and The Decemberists, this is one album we’d keep on loop even if the movie turned out to be a stinker. (Not that it possibly could, but…you know.)
