A new picture of Jennifer Lawerence as Katniss has been released!

(click to embiggen)
Yes, the pic is soundstage-y and everything is weirdly shiny, but IDGAF! I can totes picture what she'll look like all dirty and bloody prowling the forest in my mind and it is amazing!
And a bigger, clearer version of the EW cover!

Love the bow! I cannot wait to see all that archery practice in action!
Update: New JLaw Interview
She's so awkward, I love her. The dark hair also gives her a sort of effortless sensuality, which is of course very relevant to my interests.

Anyway. I think I should read these books so I actually have an idea of this Hunger Games thing.

Hey, I'm in no position to judge, I'm perving away too ;)

You totally should! The books are really good. I've only read the first and the second so far, but I really enjoyed them both.

Date: 2011-05-20 06:16 am (UTC)Um, THIS. She insanely hot and she seems like a total dork, who's also really down to earth...so yeah, suffice it to say I'm in love. Also, random but she's giving me Lizzy Caplan vibes, idk, maybe it's because they both seem chill and their voices are similar, idk?
Just wondering, have you considered writing fic for this series? I mean, I know the books are pretty much a het-fest, but there's still some f/f subtext imo, especially in Catching Fire.

their voices are similar
Mmm, like Angie Harmon before them they are voice goddess's. I love the tone of Jen's voice and Lizzy's.

I've considered it, but not much more than considered it. I haven't really found an idea to latch onto. I like the idea of Katniss/Johanna but ... I don't know, the world of the Hunger Games doesn't really lend itself to a lot of sexy times (other than like 'I might die in the arena so lets sex just in case' kind of scenario's, which with Katniss's personality just doesn't seem to fit. Johanna I think was probably screwing like a bunny with her oiled up breasts -lol- before the games, but Katniss ... I can't picture it).
I'm hoping maybe something in the third book will spark my muse, but Katniss has been like 99% surrounded by dudes up to the part that I'm at, that I'm not holding out much hope.

Date: 2011-05-22 10:21 am (UTC)I'm with you on needing some breathing room. I sped through the first two, and now I'm like moving through the third at a glacial pace. I think I need to consume something else and then go back to it.

Date: 2011-05-22 07:02 am (UTC)Also, just seeing "The Chosen One" and the pic of her with that bow, I totally didn't realize it was the Hunger Games at first. xD Thought you'd found some new series being shopped around with a kickass, leather-wearing archer chick. Main thought immediately being "Holicrap, I'd watch that!"

Date: 2011-05-22 10:31 am (UTC)And she really is gorgeous ... and has an amazing body. She was saying in an interview how she wanted to have a 'woman's body' instead of being scrawny as hell in the new X-Men movie and I was like, "my dear, you don't need to worry about that!"
Thank god the producers of THG aren't insane like people on the internet and didn't make her lose a ridiculous amount of weight to look half starved like Katniss is described in the books.
And that "The Chosen One" caption is just ridiculous. Katniss wasn't chosen for shit, she volunteered. This isn't Harry Potter or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The Accidental Hero, Enemy of the State or The Girl on Fire would have been way better captions for Katniss.
I hope we get pictures of some of the other cast members coming out soon. I know they've barely started filming, but still. If they released the JLaw ones to (successfully) stop internet bitching about her not looking like Katniss, they should totally release a pic of Josh as Peeta and Lian as Gale as well, since people are still WTFing about those two. I don't have a problem with the casting, I'd just be curious to see a pic of them.
