Vanity Fair's Interview with Francis Lawrence

Vanity Fair.com has an interview with Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence. It also includes several beautiful photos of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss (in her wedding gown!), as well as images of Gale, Finnick, Peeta, and Effie. These are, in part, from the October issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

“One of the big overarching themes for all the books is this idea of the consequences of war, and one of the unfortunate consequences of war is post-traumatic stress,” explains Francis Lawrence, who directed The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, out this November. (His previous films include I Am Legend and Water for Elephants.) In the new movie, not only have young leads Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson aged nearly two years, but also their characters, Katniss and Peeta, have returned to their home district haunted by what they’ve seen and done. “That’s one of the first things you see in the movie,” the director adds. “They’re changed people because of having been in the Games.”

Francis Lawrence Talks 'Catching Fire' in Total Film

I really loved how the world opens up in the second book. The mythology opens up, the story's much more complex, you see more of the Districts and Capitol, and you really start to get a sense of the meaning of things. This one's very different. The arena's much more active. and the movie's about different things, thematically: it's about the beginning of a rebellion, and Kat is becoming a symbol, and there's much more love story. She's been in the Games, and so we had a lot of discussions about what that means, how one can be haunted by taking part in violent acts and witnessing violent things."

Jennifer Lawrence to Star in 'East of Eden' With Gary Ross Directing

Looks like Jennifer Lawrence and Gary Ross are teaming up again for an adaptation of East of Eden.

From Variety:

Based on the John Steinbeck novel, the story revolves around a father and two sons in California’s Salinas Valley, and the dark secrets about their mother, whom they thought dead. The book was originally adapted by director Elia Kazan, and the classic film starred James Dean.

Lawrence will play at an earlier time in her life the role of the mother who was played by Jo Van Fleet in the 1955 version. Some may wonder why the studio would cast the role that isn’t exactly seen as the most important but you may have heard of Lawrence’s interest in working again with Ross and did not want to miss out on the opportunity given her busy schedule.

Sam Claflin in Variety - 10 Brits To Watch

Here's the cover and the article from the Variety "10 Brits To Watch" we told you about here.

In a few short years since graduating from The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art in 2009, the actor has seen his career take off, thanks to a series of modest yet effective roles in films and tv productions, both local and international. They include the BBC's United, and Channel 4/Starz miniseries Pillars of the Earth, and the features Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Snow White and the Huntsman.

Of course, all that success now pales in comparison to the global super stardom promised by his latest role - that of heroic heartthrob and fan favorite Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, due out in November.

The 27-year-old Brit reportedly beat out such higher profile names as Taylor Kitch and Armie Hammer for the part of the tall, toned, blond and tan Odair, despite showing up for his audition "with a stubbly face and very pale English skin, long brown hair, and, to be honest, out of shape," as he told Elle Magazine

Claflin, whose fast growing resume now includes The Quiet Ones, Love Rosie, and the next installment in The Hunger Games franchise, quickly hit up the gym and the hair dye to achieve, as he's wryly described his transformation, "a semblance of that perfection" fans are expecting.
