When Jennifer first read the Hunger Games she ”just got it”.
“It’s real and it’s violent ” says Lawrence when Empire meets her at a London hotel in early December. “If we toned down the violence…” Ross and Jacobson had to commit to a PG-13 rating. Any higher and they’d be shutting out half their target audience. But Lawrence assures us that none of the story’s impact has been lost, “even if we don’t show much blood”.
“In this very harsh universe where kids are literally forced to fight for their ow survival, Katniss fights for her own humanity” says Ross. “At first she’s just fighting to live and in the end she finds something she’s willing to die for. It’s a very harsh world, a very violent premise, but underneath that there’s humanity. I think that’s what has really drawn people to the book, and Katniss as a heroine”.
The suggestion of a love triangle shouldn’t put you off. “These are not love stories” stresses Hemsworth. “They’re not presented in a sexy way. It’s not about relationships for Katniss but survival. The only way this story is similar to Twilight is that they both have huge audiences”.
