“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.”
