The Hunger Games Trailer HD 2012
- Thread starter singveld
- Start date
Jennifer Lawrence will have to get ''security systems'' installed in her home if 'The Hunger Games' is as big as predicted.
The actress - who plays the leading role of Katniss in the eagerly anticipated novel adaptation - admits she was initially dubious about accepting the part because she was aware of how much her life would have to change, but she didn't want to stop herself because of fear.
She said: "If this is as big as it's anticipated to be there will have to be some changes to my life - security systems and all that stuff.
"Now I'm living on the beach without a care in the world. It's a hard thing to think about, your life being completely different. But I didn't want to miss out on something because I was scared."
However, getting into the role once she had taken the part was not too difficult as Jennifer thinks the character is similar to the part she played in 'Winter's Bone' - for which she was nominated for an Oscar.
She added in an interview with Empire magazine: "I do see similarities. They're both young adults who have to deal with responsibility far bigger than themselves and have to bring out a warrior side to care for their family. They're incredibly alike in that way."

Video: New "Hunger Games" Clip Shows Off Jennifer Lawrence's Archery Skills
In this clip we see Katniss showing off her archery talents for the judges of the Hunger Games, who will then grade her on a scale of 1 to 12. But instead of paying attention to her, they seem to be more focused on stuffing their faces with some high-end delicacies. Katniss decides to take matters into her own hands and shows them just how skilled she is up close and personal.
----------------------------
Katniss Shooting the Pig
Katniss has been dreading her skill evaluation with the Capitol judges. She knows that if she scores too low she won't get much help from the viewers, but if she scores too high she'll be a target for the other tributes. She enters the private chamber to do her best and impress the gamemakers, but becomes enraged when they seem disinterested in her archery skills. In an act of desperation and fury, Katniss launches an arrow right at the succulent pig the gamemakers are snacking on. This catches their attention and, despite her thinking she screwed the whole thing up, earns her a 11 out of 12 rating.

Let the games begin! Jennifer Lawrence and The Hunger Games cast are mobbed by fans as they kick off their US mall tour
Fans in Los Angeles overwhelmed the Westfield Century City Mall yesterday for the first stop of the Hunger Games Mall Tour.
Over 1000 fans showed up to meet the cast of the upcoming movie which will be released at the end of the month, some camping out overnight to be first in line.
Stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth posed together and signed autographs for fans as they kicked off their 8 city US mall tour.
If you haven’t heard of the Hunger Games movie yet, you soon will.
Based on the book by the same name, with 23.5 million copies in print in the U.S., the movie set the record for first-day advance sales beating Twilight when tickets went on sale on February 22.
The Hunger Games takes place in the ruins of what once was North America, according to the movie’s official website.
It depicts a world in which teenagers are chosen to fight each other to the death as a form of government intimidation.
Protagonist Katniss Everdeen's younger sister, Primrose, is originally chosen to take part but her sibling volunteers in her place to compete in the games.
Lawrence, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2010 for Winter's Bone, realises that this part is the one which will bring her to a Kristen Stewart level of fame.
She recently told Glamor magazine: 'I feel like I am in the eye of the hurricane right now. It's daunting.'
She said 'I knew that as soon as I said "yes," my life would change and I walked around thinking "It's not too late, I could still go back and do indies. I haven't said "yes" yet, it's not too late.'
But in the end Jennifer decided she could not turn down the role: 'I love this story and if I had said no, I would regret it every day,' she said.
Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, who dates singer Miley Cyrus, plays the role of Katniss' best friend Gale.
Liam, 21, recently told Moviefone that he can relate to the hero all too well.
'Gale is a very strong person inside and out,' said the Neighbours actor.
'He’s constantly standing up for what he believes in and trying to stay true to himself and not giving into this evil power. I’ve always been taught to be true to myself and stand up for what I believe in.'

Last week, Josh Hutcherson, who plays District 12 tribute Peeta Mellark, tweeted about seeing the highly-anticipated film for the first time saying: 'Oh yeah, I forgot. I saw the Hunger Games yesterday for the first time…
'I really, truly, love it. I'm bad about being able to say that too. Which says a lot. It tells the story perfectly and the acting amazes me'
The 19-year-old also added: 'Jennifer, Liam, Woody, Elizabeth, Lenny, Donald, EVERYONE, was fantastic, and called the film’s director Gary Ross a genius.
The Gary Ross-directed movie is being touted as the biggest pop culture phenomenon since the Twilight and Harry Potter series.
The Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins recently posted a glowing review of the film based on her book on her Facebook page.
'I’ve just had the opportunity to see the finished film of The Hunger Games. I’m really happy with how it turned out,' Suzanne wrote.
'I feel like the book and the film are individual yet complementary pieces that enhance one another. The film opens up the world beyond Katniss’ point of view, allowing the audience access to the happenings of places like the Hunger Games control room and President Snow’s rose garden, thereby adding a new dimension to the story.'
The Hunger Games is the first novel in The Hunger Games trilogy, followed by Catching Fire, 2009, and Mockingjay, published in 2010.
