To get in shape for the role of "Katniss", Jennifer Lawrence had to undergo extensive training including archery, rock & tree climbing, and combat!
It is said that The Hunger Games (starring Jennifer Lawrence , Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth) is the next Twilight or Harry Potter series. Given the buzz around the movie, let's review some interesting and fun facts about the Hunger Games that you probably didn't know. Ready!?
1- Suzanne Collins, the author of Hunger Games, came up with the idea of the book, while switching TV programs about Iraq invasion and a reality show.
2- Jennifer Lawrence beat Emily Browning, Abigail Breslin, and Saoirse Ronan to land the lead role of Katniss in the movie adaptation.
3- Some reviewers have criticized the Hunger Games because of its significant similarities to a Japanese novel called Battle Royale.
4- The Hunger Games is ranked 5th on the American Library Association's list of most banned books for 2010 (for being sexually explicit, unsuited to age group, and violent)
5- To get in shape for the role, Jennifer Lawrence underwent extensive training including archery, rock & tree climbing, and combat.
Bonus facts (not in the video):
- Suzanne Collins' father was in the Vietnam war when she was a child. This sense of loss has directly impacted the book: Katniss Everdeen (the hero of the story) loses her father before the story begins.
-Stephen King has called the book addictive and comapred it as "shoot-it-if-it-moves videogames in the lobby of the local eightplex; you know it's not real, but you keep plugging in quarters anyway."
