Jennifer Lawrence Talks Catching Fire With UK's Daily Mail

Jennifer Lawrence spoke with the UK's Daily Mail about heading to the EE British Academy Film Awards (aka the BAFTAS) on February 10th and her recent SAG Awards win but she also slipped in a few tidbits about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Including that she has NINE days left of filming on location in Hawaii. 

From the Daily Mail Online:

The actress has been recovering from a nasty flu bug, which was not helped by recent filming on the second Hunger Games movie, Catching Fire. She was shooting outside, in freezing weather, in only a T-shirt.

‘That probably wasn’t the best for my sickness,’ she said, wryly.

Luckily, the remaining nine days of filming, in her role as Katniss Everdeen, will take place on location in Hawaii.

Then she has a few weeks off, before she has to travel to Canada to film  X-Men — Days Of Future Past, a time-travelling sci-fi epic featuring a galaxy of superheroes.

Jennifer also discussed her wrongly reported wardrobe malfunction and luckily retained her trademark humor:

You may have seen that the layered Dior gown Jennifer wore to the Screen Actors Guild awards came adrift as she made her way up to accept the best actress statuette for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, prompting global discussion.

‘It’s the way the dress was structured,’ sighed the 22-year-old star. 

‘It’s a tiered dress, which I didn’t understand until I sat down and saw my thighs through sheer material and thought: “What’s going on?!”

‘So, yeah, that was a surprise — but not a malfunction.’

Then, with tongue firmly in cheek, she added: ‘It was supposed to do that, though. I planned it.

'I was concerned people would start talking about the award that I won, and my acting, so I thought I’d pull a stunt just to get things back to where they need to be.’

The Hollywood Reporter says avant-garde Dutch designer Iris van Herpen may be the woman behind one of the most anticipated costumes in 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' - Katniss' transforming wedding gown.

Though costume designer Trish Summerville is head costume designer, THR reports that an inside source on the movie says van Herpen is indeed working on ONE costume for the film, but wouldn't confirm which one. Van Herpen, who counts Lady Gaga and Bjork among her fans, uses innovative technology combined with Haute Couture handiwork to create some of the most mind-blowing designs you'll ever see. Time Magazine named van Herpen's 3D printed dress one of it's 50 best inventions of 2011. 

Yep, she's got this.

If van Herpen IS the woman behind the dress, she should have no trouble creating the wedding gown/flaming mockingjay of our dreams. Read more at The Hollywood Reporter.

RUMOR UPDATE: Fashionista is reporting that Iris van Herpen is NOT designing a costume for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Fashionista.com says they reached out to Iris van Herpen's PR team and that they confirmed the designer is not working on the film or with any of the actresses. So the designer who was rumored to be working on a costume which may or may not have been the wedding/mockingjay dress is now NOT working on the rumored costume. Confused? We are! Either way, this is excellent PR for the little-known Herpen. And as we all know, plenty of Hunger Games rumors have been flatly denied only to be confirmed later on. (See Sam Claflin as Finnick)

Sam Claflin on Finnick Odair and 'Catching Fire'

Sam Claflin spoke with Future Radio 107.8 and discussed portraying Finnick and his experience filming 'Catching Fire.'

From Norwich Future Radio:

On The Books:

“Before I got the part? No, no. Funnily enough, when I first went to see the first The Hunger Games, the original, I had no idea that it was a trilogy. I had no idea it was based on books. I just knew there was a big hype around – you know it was being called the new Twilight. And what have you. So I think I was curious as to what this big thing, this… You know, I was very curious. And kind of got the audition for this part of Finnick Odair. I was in Los Angeles. I remember saying ‘Who the hell is this Finnick?’

On Finding Finnick:

“And I tried to go on Wikipedia and do as much research as possible prior to my first audition, and luckily I was kind of steered in the right direction by the casting director and the director himself. Between the moment that I was sort of offered the part and I was kind of trying to work out the smaller details as the contracts and what have you, I read the books and I read them in five days. Couldn’t quite help but turn the page and keep reading, you know, you can’t just put it down.”

On Fan Reaction:

“I mean, I’m a member of Twitter and, you know, specially when it was first announced there was a huge backlash. Some positive and some very negative, you know, people were like saying they want to kill themselves, that I wasn’t anywhere near a good looking Finnick. Everyone has their own perception of what a good-looking person is. And basically, all I can do is do my best and you know it’s – you have to kinda try not reading the bad press or whatever, you know?”

On Being Accident-Prone:

"This is actually questionable how much I can talk about ’cause I was specifically asked not to mention some of the accidents that happened there. Let’s just say I’m a very, very clumsy person. There was fall after fall after fall – I mean we basically, me and Francis, the director, we were laughing that there will be a whole DVD extra, you know, a whole DVD on its own for the blooper reel just for me. Because every time he’d say ‘Action’, you know just before he’d light the fire, I’d slip over or I’d fall – even when I’m standing still, I’d manage to fall over so um, there were plenty of accidents. My dad would probably tell you on the private.
