The Hunger Games tells the dark tale of a 16-year-old girl named Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), who is selected to compete in a vicious televised tournament in which 24 teenagers from a post-apocalyptic society fight to the death for the entertainment of the masses. In the future, North America is no more. In its place has risen Panem, a divided nation split into 12 districts. Every year, each district selects a teen of each gender (called “Tributes”) to test their worth in a competition known as the Hunger Games, which are broadcast across the nation as entertainment, and to reinforce the government’s total power. When her younger sister is selected as District 12’s latest “Tribute,” Katniss volunteers to take her place, and trains under hard-drinking former Hunger Games champion Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) to sharpen her killer instincts. Now in order to survive the game and emerge the victor, this young combatant must put all of her skills to the ultimate test.
GalaTView talked to Amanda Stenberg (Rue) and said: “Jennifer is extremely funny, in every time that we take together laughing, Jen and I were doing the same things acting. Sometimes, I had to play on some scenes and these ones had to be explained them to me mainly in some scenes were I was extremely scared because I was involved in a kind of games so It become something that I really got each scene after all.”
Alexander Ludwig (Cato): “I jumped up to my opportunity just because I had this chance to play this guy. It was really wanted to experience the dark side so I had to twist individually. I wanted cared about physical presents in a mental movie and there was a lot fight training where you can go through so I have been working with a navy seal and tons of hang calls back like a club.”
Lenny Kravitz (Cinna):”I have been in rock actually but I didn’t know about the book so I had to read it but the crew call me back very quickly after see this classic epic story, I hated at the beginning for the classic way but I loved for the costumes and messages at the same time. I’m so satisfied to do a great project with everybody who was cool and nice, no divas no drama, real actors and everyday was hugging and saying hi to each other and we had so much fun. So is not a goodbye in a certain point.”
