Jennifer Lawrence is prepared to portray the female character engulfed in flames once more.
After winning an Oscar, Katniss became a household name for her work in the franchise “The Hunger Games,” and she now says she is returning to the movies.
“Oh my God – totally! Jennifer Lawrence told me during a Friday morning Zoom interview while promoting her new R-rated coming-of-age comedy, ‘If I could ever get 100 percent of my life back, no hard feelings, Katniss.'”
Glancing away from the camera, she included, “My producing collaborator simply grasped her chest.”
Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland, and Woody Harrelson featured in the four “Hunger Games” movies. Gary Ross directed the initial movie, which came out in 2012, while Francis Lawrence directed the subsequent three.
The upcoming prequel movie “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” stars Jason Schwartzman, Peter Dinklage, Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, and Viola Davis, and is set to release on Nov. 17. It chronicles the rise to power of President Snow’s Coriolanus in Panem.
“Feelings” Hard “No” is a raunchy comedy starring Lawrence as a 32-year-old Uber driver who is hired by a wealthy couple to help get their 19-year-old son, Andrew Barth Feldman, out of his shell before heading off to college.
I inquired Feldman, who is 21 years old, if he recalls witnessing Lawrence in “The Hunger Games” for the initial time.
“You most likely weren’t even born,” Lawrence joked.
Feldman replied, “I recently watched those films and read those books that were a phenomenon when I was about 10 years old. Jen’s performance in them was incredibly captivating and authentic. It was a genre of film that we didn’t even know existed yet. It was a magical experience.”
Lawrence joked, “I can’t believe you were able to read at the age of 10.”
“No Hostile Emotions,” helmed by Gene Stupnitsky (“Good Boys”), will be screening in cinemas
