Willow Shields Talks About Prim, The Hunger Games and Catching Fire with SheKnows

6:19 AM catching fire movie, hunger games dvd, hunger games movie, interview, willow shields No comments

SheKnows has recently interviewed Willow Shields, the actress from New Mexico who plays Prim in The Hunger Games, about her role and fashion. Here's an excerpt from the interview.

SheKnows: The Hunger Games has turned into such a huge phenomenon! Were you a fan of the series before you auditioned for the role or Primrose Everdeen?

Willow Shields: I was actually just starting the books when I got the role. I was in the middle of reading the first book when I got the audition, so I was becoming a big fan and I was really excited about getting an audition for a role that I'd read about in a book!

SheKnows: This was such an amazing breakout role for you. Looking back on the experience, what was your favorite part of working on The Hunger Games?

Shields: My favorite memory was probably just hanging out with Jennifer [Lawrence] and acting with her because one minute we were really serious and crying in one scene and then the next minute we'd be laughing and playing jokes on each other.

SheKnows: That sounds so fun! So would you say Jennifer was like a big sister for you on set?

Shields: Definitely. She's so nice and such an incredible actress and we really bonded on set, so we definitely basically became sisters on set.

SheKnows: The Hunger Games on DVD comes out this weekend, and we're super excited! Can you tell us what's next for your character in the next movie, Catching Fire? [SPOILER ALERT!]

Shields: Prim kind of starts to grow up in Catching Fire and she has a little bit of a bigger role. Prim is just devastated when she finds out that Katniss has to go back into the Games so I think it's a really interesting time for Prim... I think it's going to be interesting to have to play a role like that.

SheKnows: Who was your most fashionable cast mate for The Hunger Games?

Shields: I thought Amandla [Stenberg] had awesome style, especially for her age -- I think she was only 12 when she started shooting. I remember every day I'd see her she'd have a different hat on and these cute outfits.

Japanese Hunger Games Poster and Trailer Plus New Hunger Games DVD Poster at the 2012 San Diego Comic Con

6:48 AM comic con 2012, hunger games dvd, hunger games movie, japan No comments

Guys, in case you missed it, there's a Japanese poster and trailer for the Hunger Games. The poster isn't really new in our eyes but the trailer is somewhat different from what we have seen before the movie came out last March. By the way, the Hunger Games will be shown in Japanese theater on September 28, 2012 so there's a huge gap between the world/US premiere of the movie and in Japan. Anyway, here is the poster and the trailers (there are actually two) cannot be embedded. You could watch the trailers at http://www.hungergames.jp. The site offers more information about the screening of the movie in the country.

Down below, you could also see a new Hunger Games DVD poster that was shared to us by Lionsgate during the 2012 Comic Con in San Diego, CA.

Plus, I included EW's portrait of Hunger Games cast (Jack Quaid, Amandla Stenberg, Alexander Ludwig, Dayo Okeniyi and Willow Shields) at the 2012 San Diego Comic Con. If you know the characters they portray in the film, you already know why they have such poses.
