Watch: Jennifer Lawrence Talks ?The Hunger Games? With ?Access Hollywood? & ?Letterman?
"I was such a huge fan of the books before I even knew about the movies"
Earlier this week we got our FIRST LOOK at actress Jennifer Lawrence as she will look as Katniss Everdeen in the big screen adaptation of The Hunger Games and last night she started doing her first official promo appearances for the film. J. Law paid a visit to Access Hollywood to talk about her new role, revealing that she was a fan of the books before the movies were even talked about. Then she paid a visit to The Late Show with David Letterman to explain what The Hunger Games are to Dave and his audience. Check out these video interviews below.
Jennifer Lawrence has immersed herself in the role of Katniss Everdeen in Lionsgate?s adaptation of Suzanne Collins? ?The Hunger Games,? and she?s starting to feel like another big screen action star in the process. ?It was fantastic!? the 20-year-old actress told Access Hollywood on Thursday, when asked about landing the coveted role. ?It was great because I was such a huge fan of the books before I even knew about the movies,? she explained. ?I feel like a fan that gets to dress up? It was really, really great.? The ?Winter?s Bone? Oscar nominee said she and co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson have started intense training at a stunt camp for the upcoming movie. ?I love archery! I really love it,? the actress told Access. ?And I?m starting to do stunts with the bow and arrow, so I kind of feel like Hugh Jackman. And then I?m doing rock climbing [and] tree climbing.? The actress, who is also appearing in the upcoming ?X-Men: First Class,? said her past diet regime for the mutant shape shifter Mystique is helping her prepare to play Katniss. ?We all pretty much have to get in supernatural shape for this,? she explained. ?The dieting probably for ?X-Men? is helpful.? As far as the movie?s fight scenes ? which pit children against one another in fights to the death ? Jennifer said they will be ?very intense.? The actress told Access ?The Huger Games? will easily appeal to fans of ?The Twilight Saga.? ?I think the reach is very similar,? she continued. ?Very popular books, very large fan base. So, I think the size of it is very familiar to ?Twilight.?? Jennifer ? who is now sporting long dark locks ? laughed off complaints made by some about her not having the same hair color as her District 12 Tribute character. ?It was funny because everyone was upset that I was blonde, and I was like, ?I?m gonna dye it,?? she said. ?The Hunger Games? is set to begin filming in North Carolina, and the film will hit theaters on March 23, 2012.
I totally get that the Hunger Games folks are trying to court the Twilight audience but the stories are so not the same. IMHO, the Hunger Games books written by Suzanne Collins are light years better than the Twilight books written by Stephenie Meyer. But, if the Twilight gang wants to jump on board the Hunger Games train, the more the merrier. I?d love for these Hunger Games films to be big hits ? I love the books so much ? I think successful movies might inspire more people to read the books (tho, you really should read the books FIRST before seeing the movies).
Next up, we?ve got Jennifer?s interview with David Letterman. Among other things, she explains to Dave what The Hunger Games are all about ? check out the video below:
Jennifer Lawrence is very charming ? I know she will make a great Katniss. The promo push for The Hunger Games is already underway and the film hasn?t even started filming yet. It?s gonna be a LONG year until the film gets released next May. It?s gonna be real fun following the film along the way.
