MTV ask HUNGER GAMES stars more questions
MTV has posted their final round of fans’ questions for Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson.
@maartjej239: How was it to be “on fire” in the chariots?
Lawrence: Oh, that was fake. I wasn’t actually on fire, thank God. … I think they’ll just add that later, hopefully.
@eringabin: In a postapocalyptic world like Panem, what would your most valuable survival skill be?
Hemsworth: I’d hope that I could shoot like Katniss. That would probably help a lot. I can’t, though.
@LoveAcrossTime: From the trailer alone, the fans already see the amazing chemistry between [Katniss and Peeta]. Was that an instant thing?Hutcherson: It really was. Jennifer and I hit it off right away, as did myself and Liam. Jennifer and I are kind of from the same part of the country, we had a similar upbringing, the same kind of system, more or less. She’s just a very real person, and you don’t meet many actresses that are super real and down-to-earth and genuine and are extremely talented on top of all that, so she kind of has the whole thing going on, and she’s an awesome person. I really hit it off with her.

Is THE HUNGER GAMES becoming too hyped up?
NPR has an article discussing THE HUNGER GAMES and the media attention its received:
But driving up the event aspect of your film to a ridiculous level is dicey. (Remember Snakes On A Plane? Sure you do. How about Wolverine? Watchmen?) You can market your film as hard as you want, and it’s still possible for anything to happen once it actually gets into the wild. (For an awards-season version of this fundamental truth, consider my friend Joe Reid’s very simple but sharply funny new Tumblr, This Had Oscar Buzz.) Yes, The Hunger Games will make a lot of money from the people who will see it no matter what, but so did The Hangover Part 2, and it’s still widely viewed as a disappointment. Or for perhaps a more relevant comparison, consider David Fincher’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Hugely buzzed about, talented director, heavily promoted with well-received trailers, teasers for everything, built-in audience, and then: greeted on arrival with decent money but largely a pop-cultural shrug. In fact, it may wind up on This Had Oscar Buzz in about three months.
To return to Potter, yes, The Hunger Games is similarly a book that many people love very much and take very much to heart. But it doesn’t have some of the advantages that the Potter books have. It doesn’t have the whimsy — particularly the whimsy of the first movies, with their Quidditch and spell-casting and wizard school — to leaven it and make it fun. It’s a dark, dense story, full of killing and misery and sacrifice, without nearly the opportunity for playful whiz-bang that Harry Potter offered. Past hugely successful franchises, from Star Wars to the Indiana Jones movies to James Bond, have had that mix of tension and playfulness. This story doesn’t, really. Sure, neither did The Dark Knight, but that brought the entire weight of Batman to bear on the proceedings.
Elizabeth Banks: “[Effie's] essentially a puppet of the regime”
In a new interview with Next Movie, Elizabeth Banks discussed Effie’s personality and the impact of the Capitol in her life:
[Effie Trinket] is an absolutely fascinating character. There’s so much tension built into her. She’s essentially a puppet of the regime.
“Effie’s entire life is given to her at the hands of this totalitarian regime. So she’s one of the lucky ones, in that she’s in the privileged class, but at the same time, that all can be taken away from her at any moment.
When she comes across this uncontrollable tribute, whose actions reflect on Effie, it creates a lot of tension for Effie [laughs]. Effie wants Katniss Everdeen to win the games because that would reflect really well on her. But she does not need a revolutionary on her hands.
