Jennifer Lawrence Dishes On 'Hunger Games'

Jennifer Lawrence “couldn’t be happier” about scoring the lead role in The Hunger Games.

“I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don’t take it lightly,” the 20-year-old actress said in a statement to JJJ.

“I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of [author] Suzanne Collin‘s masterpiece,” she added.

Jennifer also told EW there wasn’t a specific scene in the three books that got her excited about playing Katniss Everdeen.

“The entire book made me want that,” she explained. “That being said, I’ve never shot a bow and arrow, so that’ll be cool.”
