The stars recently spoke about their preperation for their roles in the film, with Liam Hemsworth saying: “My character lives in district twelve and is living in a depression and is not eating a lot, so I lost quite a bit of weight for the role. I find it much easier to gain weight than lose it. It was tough not eating.”
The sequesl to The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, has had a scheduling problem with Jennifer Lawrence recently, who will be returning to reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen. Jennifer is also signed on to do the X-Men: First Class sequel, which could get in the way of Catching Fire. However, Coming Soon claim that Fox will film X-Men: First Class 2 in January, allowing Catching Fire to be filmed this year. Phew!
