for the first time for the cast of The Hunger Games [Applause] Frances I wanted to start with a question for you you've taken over the reins as the grand Rebbe Catching Fire and as I'm sure the audience knows you're also going to be directing both of the Mockingjay films tell me about what it was like for you walking on the set for the first date what went through your mind oh it wasn't quite as exciting as this than it would now it was incredible I mean my first day was actually we started light and it was a we're doing scenes with Philip Seymour Hoffman is also actually cast didn't we hear but so that was pretty fantastic and then the rest of the week pretty much worked with everybody and it's just it's a dream cast it's a dream story so a lot of fun hi Jennifer all the way down the end husband comment nice to see you okay obviously last time we saw Katniss on screen she's returning home the victor of the Hunger Games tell me about the challenges that Katniss is facing in the second film what's going through her mind well life is very different now um she's she's struggling from post-traumatic stress from the games and she's kind of has a new life where she never has to worry about food never has to worry about your saluting in Victor's village and that kind of leaves her feeling useless in an odd way she has to give him adapt to this new life and also she's now experienced something with pita that they'll only understand each other in a strange way and so Galle who she's known most of her life she's always felt understood certain parts of her Maori Lupita kind of understands some part of her that the Gael member will and Josh can talk about I get the feeling that the love triangle just gets more and more intense at the second film yes it's very complicated you know uh pita had such strong has such strong feelings for Katniss and any Express mentor and then he felt that they were you know she felt the same way and then he come come to find that they were just an act so now he has been allocated it was an act we're not going to this a tough life but yeah so so I mean it's very complicated for PETA to kind of figure out what he's supposed to do now that he has his feelings and they're not being felt by her at the same time but he still wants to help her protect her and she's very complicated world they live in now and Liam for you obviously when I was bringing the book I just remember reading the scene the torture scene basically I would imagine that must have been one of the things that you were kind of most nervous or excited or feeling challenging about that's a that's a crazy scene I would imagine to know yes it's interesting to have to work and just get whipped for three days straight and hey you're not really scared you know at first it's just acting you think you don't can get hurt also three days getting hit with anything it's gonna stop and it was good fun Francis could you talk about how much interaction what kind of interaction you had with Suzanne Collins what horse wrote the book this is based on did you get to interact with her yeah an interactive with Suzanne quite a bit when right after I had gotten the job the first thing I wanted to do was fly out to be with her so we met in New York she lives in Connecticut and we wanted to get together and go through the book I wanted to pick her brain in person what ended up happening was she and I kind of through the book came the beachy for the screenplay so she's been a big part of the process the entire week sir and fantastic now by any chance mr. director do you have anything that you would want maybe possibly to show this audience of yes we do we brought the new trailer just for you guys nobody else has seen it and I thought look here it is let's take a look Francis when you I can only imagine what was going through your head would you sign on to some tribute expectations of what this process would be like how would you say making this film was most different from what you expected it would be like that's the God they sort of never like you expect them to be I think anything going in you have something in your head I think one of the best things and this is just you know sort of the crew making the movie I mean this is quite honestly one of the best groups of people that I've ever made a movie with I mean you know not just for talent but also just to be around everyday so that was that was unexpected and really a blessing you know and then I think that I'm just you know very pleased with the emotional scale and the lead the way that the world has sort of come together in a way the world looks and visiting different districts and see more of the capital and I think the performances are fantastic so you know it's more than I could have dreamed it Lenny I want to ask you a question about your characters I feel like so well you do so well with personal but also movies like precious you're kind of bringing this incredibly calming presence too often insane worlds is that something that you like about playing this guy yeah I mean Sinha is uh he's a real cool cat you know and he's uh he definitely has you know a lot of interest in Katniss and no but as as a friend you know you got somebody who really believes in her and cares for her and this movie was it was great you'll see how they evolved until his very less the that one of the Facebook fans wanted to know from Jenna and Jeffrey what it was like to join this already tight group that was it intimidating sure yeah this was what it was like on set of Renee would be really intense okay well you know I think what's exciting about well the reason that you make movies is for people to see them you want people to come and the work that was done previously at the books as well established obviously a huge gracious appetite for these movies and also expectations so yeah that can be you know you want to make sure that you match those expectations and surpass those expectations and so there was such a high level that you know we were stepping into it could be viewed as intimidating but I think in fact it made it easier because there is such work done you know the ground work a bit late and we just had to step in and step up it was also just so surprising it's like you know opening a handy bar and getting a golden ticket they're just like really like me and all of the kids of the universe because but also so much fun is that we were coming in sort of the young blood but there was kind of a lot of us we actually had about number of them yeah sorry I mean the Frances on our side is sort of disliked your new energy and because casual fire is kind of Univ it's where the last film stephtodd left off everything is flipped on its head I mean all the rules are wrong so it kind of also felt nice for all of us to me and something new and different together but you know I mean it was obviously you know we had to be let in on a few inside jokes that was that was you know that was a big initiation I felt what's that you're doing nobody right dude every day of my life who's the worst well of course of course well who would you say on the table you look up to the most yeah Jen I mean come on yeah good answer I want to know Jennifer you know I'm obsessed with the Oscars and we did a lot of stuff with silver linings playbook together [Applause] to all didn't know you tell me the winner of The Hunger Games picture the winner of Best Actress at the Academy Awards [Applause] read it that way good attitude sounds great yeah I'm actually really I think pointed the victory tour feel like the Oscar season or did the Oscar season feel like The Hunger Games victory tour I see some simulator I'm in this case we're in his hi yeah that was something that I actually in the first book I was going through my first kind of rounded winterfell movie that I do when I was 18 and just come out we should have come here but yeah in it was kind of this new world like wearing these dresses that I don't look like myself and I'll feel like myself and I have to like say they well I never really got a hold of that doesn't seem to like hair and makeup people in like what they talk like this new kind of world and feeling I really not a part of them and I recognize that usually in the first book I was like kind of on that field and then in the second book it's kind of going back to and I are familiar with now it's in a weird way on some partly it's become hardened even on so like you to maybe go back to things like that and at times you are afraid of life now there are a lot of Twitter and Facebook questions questions that came in my favorite is from someone named no-name naeli and I want to ask Josh this question her question is how hot are the kissing scenes going to be the snap you should have bought those now we had one tape here was more than one takes yeah can we talk about that mister mr. lorry's yeah so we did this uh the Cena stupid you tonight a lot of slobber much longer lot it was a resuscitation because yeah when the resuscitation there was a kiss and then there was slobber and well there's Amish I got to the crying faces yeah there's a huge stream snot so it will be very hot during the stop on YouTube for something is you gotta see it but there's all this is not coming out my nose when I go to kiss Carmen exhales now you streamlet I go yeah kissing's things are really hot can we put this on the DVD extras yeah yeah yeah beyond container scenes for sure yeah there were also a lot of questions and I just want to explain that one of the cast members sam claflin spitting he's unfortunately filming overseas which is the reason he's not here but I read an interview he did with entertainment we think he said he's worried that audiences aren't going to perceive him as enough of a sex god so I want to know who's from the panel shouldn't he be worried before is he okay he is a sex game is good don't worry Sam a lot of it Josh and Francis on the one to infinity I think it just needs glasses and then you'll be fully there Hey all right here's one more Facebook question before I open up to you all here in the crowd this is from I love this Twitter handle ever lark heart he's kind of like a Matt's like Bennifer but ever alarm Jennifer from all the Wardrobe that you had in this film what was your favorite costume um well my wedding dress was my favorite to look at wearing it was one of the hardest things I've ever done myself then you can tell I think in the movie um why that one was a tiger if it was it was he was huge it was by Shaitan circumference and I'm not good at walking and you don't say walking period um yeah everybody was just giant and it was a little Davis it wasn't it wasn't as it comfortable because even think but I had probably the wedding dress yeah it was just gorgeous it was like an honor to wear I don't wait I loved it because it was understated Sarco it was alright wonder what you all want to thank you fair very secure woman awake are you good I'm really nervous so sorry um I just really wanted to thank you all for the Hunger Games ever it's just like haha just thank you very much for everything and my question is for univer and I'm here and I'm just going to take the chance thing and I love you very much and can I have you Helen oh yeah yeah can you roll the dirty person he's really good for airplane oh yes not a real question dad was another stuff and what was like to find out that you were actually on the Hunger Games movie I love you thank you it was really exciting and I miss it but it was overwhelming and scary as well because it was one of my favorite characters I think that I've ever that I've ever read and such an exciting story that I wanted to be a part of so badly and I and I just loved everything that things were about and loved the books and but it was also really scary because it's huge and you know I had a kind of a different life plan in mind that was a little bit smaller so it was it was a mix of really of excitement and a little bit in fear but now it's just exciting question I love doing Lucifer legends play with Jennifer thank you you were allowed to see that how old are you 13 Wow this question is for you I know the first installment looked very physically demanding what sort of training did you do to prepare for this movie and what was the hardest done there well I had a lot of archery training and yes and I had to have just running training because I'm not a very good runner I run weird so I'm running after when I hit myself in the face of my post or that I flew myself sorry I was just popping in my mind but I love running and then there's something called freerunning which is kind of the out parkour which obviously I did become like an expert on but they helped me just be able to you know jump over things a new different kind of showing front rolls needs me that the hardest stunt is probably still just basic running movie and like if there's a scene where I'm like running up a mountain and like running up that mountain all day and trying to hit myself in the face with my bow or mine to various challenges oh don't look at that I'm trying man I'm trying to I think I've known so that's your fault money it's your fault Oh don't do that um I'm gonna go against mold and ask Jennifer a question totally gettable um first pretty sure we're supposed to be besties so call me beat me if you want to reach me later Kim Possible joke sorry oh what um it's like biggest difference between bouncing between a really big budget movies like x-men and and then to do something like Winter's Bone like going between the two what's that like um it's interesting to see its I have a very you know if I should say this my momma's normal initials happen I think they're really I think they really can actually be something to be said for having too much money and anything sometimes when you don't have the means and you don't have you know you show up and you have to finish the day you have no choice you have to get on tickets with Indies there's a lot and we shoot our movies like this are very similar we're we're all kind of on the same page of Michael we're wearing this together to get this done and sometimes with studio movies it's so big and so massive that so many things just kind of get that but their food is a lot better trailers or what Amy but in the part of you know you have a lot more money to to to make them any better in a lot of ways you can so they both have their you know they're both different guys oh hi I'm Ana Valerio and our question is how does the relationship between all of you guys especially with the different age groups no it's great it's cool because Jeffrey we feel like I was saying get along with the older guys really well it's been cool because on the first Hunger Games we had tributes of all ages as well and everybody really got along great the younger chicks kind of seemed like it was a summer camp and then and on this movie added a lot of time at home what are you saying totally well everybody like really got along there was no but I had like egos everybody was just there to have fun and make a great yeah so the relationships really there is no divas on set which would having that many actors let me tell you that's very rare they don't have anybody it's a pain well plus here in Hawaii for partner time so that probably chilled you all out anyway yeah was that super fun to be there yeah it was pretty hiding it's going away but oh that's a sore subject around but you know we all like each other when we work together all day and then we end up ending up each other at night while each other's rooms and eating and cooking and hanging out and everybody shows up so I wasn't it's really nice who was it can I just say something with just a little little behind scenes like inside these two Jennifer and Josh are like the funniest pair and the biggest joy to work with they really are I mean they have a language all their own and ideas all you can't follow half of what they're saying but it's all really funny and really clever but it's just made the chemistry that they have on on screen is really reflection of their friendship off-screen and it's really it really made it real comfort for all of us who do real joy I always wanna hang out see what they've exchanged not getting out exchange doing sectors thanks for the question guys hello this question is for Jennifer and Josh regarding food and this has nothing to do with Instagram did you start yourselves in the first movie to get into character and and talk about the food you got to eat upset Jennifer starve yourself especially Bruce Wayne or any other family oh no we did those are a no well the good thing about these movies there you never have to go to the gym whatever I'm doing is moving me we've they're so physical that yeah I know we didn't at all know me yeah we did a lot of work out when we were very physical yeah I ran around a lot and enjoy life I tried to run around all no there was no cake thank you hi hi I'm a major fan and I am having a panic attack it's going to be okay but my questions for the whole panel how do you feel the hunger games change the way like your acting career how does it how do you feel it changed the world how do you feel it's a great question you want to start let's take it I'm not an actor I think that's to the others Oh how's the chamber life um it's definitely changed for the better I mean I have like a lot of great opportunities now that I didn't have before and I meant like such amazing people because of it so it's probably less probably but yet it's been incredible I'm I'm new to film I've only made four films and I have a day job I have to make music [Applause] what's really great is that very little children like seven year olds and eight year olds and come up to me now wanting to meet sin and they have no idea who I am which is really nice actually and so it's opened up a whole new generation for me it's pretty wonderful Jenna and now I really just start out what I mean is were here eating meeting all you guys that's pretty new well Jenna you know Luke she's starting on the on this road but I guess two things one among now among the coolest parents at my kids school which is always a good thing and and I learned to surf you know in Hawaii so yeah I'll take that by the way of loving these questions of thanking birth Liam every film gets work with different directors and Francis Lawrence's one of my favorite characters worked with he's such a an intelligent person that really knows we want some just working with him on his film was it's great as a young actor grow so much love so much from God thank you you're welcome Francis okay yeah for me I mean I like career ride Coco wise my career was Hunger Games because I mean Friday it's all about balance I think it's about doing really big popular movies and then like doing more simple indie concise movies and others really intense characters and story that you really want to tell so when you do a big movie like this it allows you to have the relationships and the opportunities to do the smaller movies and for me I also want to some point direct and produce and then kind of doing things like this give you great experience working with the absolute best people in the business so for me it's a learning experience and that's one of the greatest things that I've gotten from this whole experience I said that four times now as it's been a great experience how was the experience experience yeah I feel the same way as its job and I love having the balance and you know you get a lot more give a lot more opportunities because everybody said their ups and right reserve are great for that so well I can't think of a better note to end on the net but before we let you guys go which you guys want to look at that trailer one more time [Applause] okay the people that's fun let's watch the trailer one more time once again ladies and gentlemen no recording action to remind you that in 30 minutes at the Lionsgate booth there's going to be a character signing with Willow Jeffrey and gem - do not miss it thank you so much for your interest in i Frankenstein and the under Games Catching Fire have a
