Episode 38 of the Nightlock Podcast is now available! You can listen to it here.
Summary:
We announce a giveaway for the Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook (signed by all us hosts!), to enter just follow @NightlockPod and RT this tweet! News stories include Jennifer Lawrence's new titles, a new HG reality show knock off, more leaked photos and an actor portraying two characters. New segment relates Greek Mythology to HG, specifically Diana, the Roman Goddess of the Hunt. While discussing Chapter 12 of Catching Fire, we contemplate why Haymitch and Plutarch didn't let Katniss in on the rebellion plans. Are Capitol citizens naive and oblivious because they were raised believing the Capitol's propaganda? Do you think Gale is motivated to be a catalyst in the rebellion because that is the only chance he has at being with Katniss romantically? Did the Capitol come up with the idea for the tributes to be selected from previous victors in order to halt the rebellion or had it been planned for decades? Don't forget to enter the giveaway!

The Hunger Games has made MTV's Top Ten Films of 2012 in the #10 spot.
Toby Jones, The Girl: “Alfred Hitchcock is a hero of mine and it was a daunting prospect to play him in our film. I’m honoured, flattered and proud that The Girl has been recognised by the HFPA. Whooppeee!”Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook: “Wow. I’m so lucky, because the Hollywood Foreign Press have been so supportive of the work I’ve done thus far, now honoring with me with a second Golden Globe nomination. Silver Linings Playbook is such a beautiful film, and David O. Russell wrote and directed an incredible screenplay featuring characters that skew off center, have extreme ups and downs, and are so nuanced. I am grateful to be part of it, and for the opportunity to do this role. And now, to be in a category of other talents—Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Emily Blunt—who have also portrayed independently minded and driven female characters….that’s very cool. “Taylor Swift, “Safe and Sound,” The Hunger Games: “What an amazing and unexpected present! I’m blown away by my first-ever Golden Globe nomination, and so honored to be nominated with T Bone Burnett and The Civil Wars. Writing music for The Hunger Games was a labor of love—I was a fan of the stories and the characters, and we all wanted the music to have an authenticity that matched the tone of the movie and the emotions expressed in the book. This is a huge honor, and I’m really excited and so flattered. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association!”

Jennifer Lawrence spoke with MTV about her Golden Globe nomination.
Jennifer Lawrence spoke with E! Online about her SAG Awards nomination.
“I had no idea [the Golden Globes nominations were Thursday],” Lawrence told MTV News during an exclusive interview from the set of”The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” the next chapter in the saga of reluctant rebel leader Katniss Everdeen. “My agent called me at 5:30 and I thought the set of my movie had burned down, or Josh [Hutcherson] had died or something. I didn’t realize! I was so tired!”
Now that she’s awake, Lawrence is fully aware of her Best Actress nomination for ”Silver Linings Playbook,” director David O. Russell’s romantic-comedy about Pat, a man with bipolar disorder (played by Bradley Cooper) who meets Tiffany (Lawrence), a recent widow who becomes an important part of Pat’s life. The film received three nominations in addition to Lawrence’s nod.
“It’s amazing. It was such an incredible part,” Lawrence said of receiving the nomination. “All the blood, sweat and tears that everybody put in this movie, and how much it meant to everyone, we can all share it together. David and Bradley got the recognition they deserve. It’s wonderful to be able to share it with everyone.”
But Lawrence also said that she’s not one to spend too much time dwelling on awards and nominations: “My trick — and I don’t know if it’s a trick or just a part of my personality that I can’t help — but I don’t think about it too much.”
It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, then, that Lawrence isn’t spending the day celebrating her “Silver Linings” nomination. Instead, she’s hard at work on “Catching Fire.” Lawrence has eight days left of shooting on the “Hunger Games” sequel, and today’s workload involves getting into kill-or-be-killed Katniss mode.
“I’m covered in dirt, I’m drinking coffee, and then I’m going to go get into a swamp later. I’m basically just doing what all the other nominees are doing today,” she joked. “We’re all getting in a swamp together!”
Jennifer Lawrence spoke with E! Online about her SAG Awards nomination.
Jennifer Lawrence, Silver Linings Playbook: “It’s so rewarding to have fellow actors recognize my work with this nomination, and to be included in the company of the talented women nominated this year. Finding a great female character to portray is a very fulfilling experience, and I had that with Silver Linings Playbook, and in working David O.

Jennifer Lawrence spoke with The Guardian about The Hunger Games and her movie The Silver Linings Playbook.
The line’s crackling. Where are you?
I’m filming in Hawaii. But right now I’m eating doughnuts. I’ve just been inundated with doughnuts; it’s a perk of the job.
Moving on to other matters, Silver Linings Playbook has been named one of the Guardian’s best films of the year.
Well, thank you, that’s awesome. I’m a little taken aback. I should have prepared a speech. It’s a project I’m proud of. The cast and the crew gave it their all, working late nights, 15-hour days, trying to get it right. It was made with passion, that’s for sure.
What with your performances in Winter’s Bone, The Hunger Games and Serena, you’re becoming the poster-girl for nickel-and-dime America.
I know, but I’m just looking for interesting stories and strong characters. Maybe that’s where the good material is. Maybe that’s why I end up playing white-trash girls with too much responsibility.
When you took the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, did a part of you worry that the film might be so big it would get in the way of a creatively rewarding career?Yes, of course. I worried that it would be overwhelming and that no one would be able to see me as any other character. But I really cared about the movie. I’m as proud of The Hunger Games as I am any of the other films I’ve done.

Jack Giroux of moviepilot.com sat down to talk with Francis Lawrence about his career.
JG: Do you ever feel like saying, “It’s a movie,”?FL: Yeah, all the time. By the way, it is an adaptation, so things have to change sometimes.
JG: Even though Water for Elephants is different for you, it has a theme that’s been a part of all your films; isolation. What draws you to that theme?
FL: I think the idea of movies which are centered around single people are interesting to me, and being specific with that point-of-view is what makes for the eyes of the audience, carrying them through whatever the world and narrative is.

Source: hggirlonfire.comMoment I knew I wanted to work in the business: When I started film theory at Brown, and all I wanted to do was watch movies. I felt as excited as I ever did when I sat down in a movie theater.
Who gave me my first big break: Producer Lauren Shuler Donner. She agreed to meet me when I graduated from Brown and hired me to do free-lance research. Her office also let me know what jobs were becoming available at other companies, and I got a job with Joel Silver in 1987.
Toughest decision I had to make this year: Figuring out how to reload Hunger Games when Gary Ross left as director and make sure we chose the right person. It has turned out to be the right call to bring on Francis Lawrence.
When I leave work each day, I can’t wait to: Go home and see my kids, who are 14, 12 and 6.
My indulgence: I’m a binge television-watcher. I’ll watch an entire series on my iPad.
Can’t get through my workday without: Playing word games.
Most surprising song on my iPod: The soundtrack to Pitch Perfect.
Proudest moment this year The release of The Hunger Games.
Totally starstruck around Julie Andrews.
What I’d tell my 22-year-old self about working in Hollywood: “Don’t lose your confidence when things don’t go your way.”
Worst advice I’ve ever gotten: Someone told me once, “You can’t be a great mom and a kick-ass studio executive at the same time.” Not true.
Top three shows on my DVR: Game of Thrones, Homeland and Sons of Anarchy. I’m also intoNashville.

In our chapter analysis we contemplate if Gale is the bad boy and Peeta is the golden boy. What defines a bad boy? What flaws does Peeta have? Is it more captivating to read a book with a character you can relate to or a character who is drastically different than you? If Katniss saw a fortune teller who informed her of Prim's fate would Katniss have still volunteered as a tribute?

What was it like to work with someone of Robert De Niro's status?
It's nerve-wracking, and you're well aware that no 21-year-old should be working with Robert De Niro -- that's just an insane concept. Then I met him, and he's so nice and friendly, such a giving actor and he gives it all. He's just a great guy. But there was never one moment when I forgot that he was Robert De Niro.
You were only 14 when you tackled acting in earnest. How did you know so young what you wanted?
It was weird. I just knew it was what I was made for, what I needed, what I wanted and what I was meant to do with my life. And I didn't want to let it go ... I'm so lucky. People are always asking me if I'm pinching myself because of the success of the Hunger Games, but honestly, my friends my age are just now coming out of college and they're not sure what they want to do, and I've been blessed to simply know what I want to do for so long.
Has it been difficult to handle success -- so much, so fast?
It hasn't been for me. I don't know what I'm waiting for. Everyone made it seem like, when it happens, everything his going to change, and you meet famous people and obviously, they act differently, but that's because people treat them differently. And I would meet them and I used to wonder, 'Is that what I'm going to end up like?' But nothing has actually changed for me.
Nothing?
Well, now I get followed by paparazzi, but I just change cars with my friends so they don't follow me, or now I'm looking at houses, because I love my condo, but it doesn't have a gate so I have to look into moving. It's just technical things like that. I have all the same people around me. I don't like having B.S. people around me.
Did the Hunger Games mean a change in the roles you've been offered?
I didn't really have any career expectations. I know that seems weird, but I've always been incredibly lucky, in that, the one script I read, that I fall in love with and I'm like, 'I have to make this movie!' or 'I have to work with this director!' -- I've done it.
So that was such a rare, incredibly lucky thing that's happened to me, that I wasn't pining after these imaginary roles that I thought Hunger Games would satisfy. It was actually the opposite -- I was afraid this one character would overpower the rest of my characters. But I genuinely liked the books and the movie and that character, and I wouldn't be embarrassed to be known as that character for the rest of my life. Well, obviously, not only that character.

Jennifer Lawrence was interviewed by ELLE (she wil be on the cover of ELLE's December issue.)
On dieting for a role:
“I’m never going to starve myself for a part… I don’t want little girls to be like, ‘Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I’m going to skip dinner. That’s something I was really conscious of during training, when you’re trying to get your body to look exactly right. I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong- not thin and underfed.”
On her relationship with British actor Nicholas Hoult:
“[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I’m his best friend too. He’s my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody…We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, ‘Oh, she’s got a nice ass.’ I never thought we’d have such different opinions on asses.”
On saying what she’s thinking:
“I never know what’s going to come out of my mouth, and it’s horrible. I don’t find it positive in any way. When I get older, I’ll be more mature and poised. And I’ll have control over my mouth. One day, I’m going to grow up…When we leave, I’m going to have a knot in my stomach. I’m going to be like, ‘Oh, did I say something wrong? I’m going to get in trouble!’”
On being in control:
“Acting, films, scripts, is literally the only thing I’m 100 percent confident in. I know what I’m doing. I just understand it, and I love it. When I’m on set, that’s when I feel the most at home and in control.”
On living modestly:
“Ten million dollars and I’m still living in my parents’ condo…I’ve always lived in a tiny rat-infested apartment in New York, or a little condo in L.A., or a normal house in Kentucky. I think it would be very bizarre to live in a big mansion by myself.”

Gary Ross spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his book Bartholomew Biddle and the Very Big Wind and leaving the Hunger Games.
”I didn’t feel that I would have the time for the way that I work to do the movie justice,” he says. “I wear two hats. I don’t wear one hat. When you write and you direct that’s a linear process, it’s not a simultaneous process. I would’ve had to have written a script and prepped the whole movie in four months and on the first movie that’s a process that took me eight months. And I thought [Catching Fire] was a more difficult adaptation, not an easier one. I didn’t really feel I had the time I needed to live up to my own standards. And I haven’t had a moment’s regret. It was absolutely the right decision and I’m thrilled about new challenges.”Source: Mockingjay.net

Levin Rambin speaks with Teen Vogue about playing strong women.
What made you choose this role?
"Luckily, I was in good physical shape from The Hunger Games, and I was ready for the intensity of surfing. I really loved the story and the heart of the movie. My character's personality is similar to mine."
Had you ever surfed before?
"No, I hadn't. Well, I surfed one time when I was eleven, but definitely nothing like Northern California waves—they're big."
"I trained almost every day for three weeks before I started filming. And then after that, I got to be good enough to where I was allowed every day to hang out with actor Jonny Weston, who has been surfing his whole life. I had to keep up with him because he wasn't going to slow down for me. So I adjusted and fell in love with the sport."
Can you tell us about your character?
"Kim is a local Santa Cruz girl, and she's known Jay since they were kids. But she's a couple of years older than him, and they have this connection that's undeniable as a friendship. Once they enter high school, she realizes that he's really grown up into a man, and his passion and ambition makes him become attractive. But she neglects those feelings because he's younger and less popular. She has an inner struggle and has to come around and accept how she feels. She's just like one of the boys; she's a tomboy. She's right there next to Jay and all the crazy stuff that he's doing."
How is it different to play a character that's based off of a real person?
"I was actually excited to play someone that's still alive because I'm good at feeling people's energies. I met the real Kim, and she was very guarded because she's been through a lot. We became close and connected. I wanted her to feel comfortable with me, and I felt like I did my job in telling her life in a way that she was proud of. Jay's not here to fight for their story, so she's very much carrying his legacy."
Next up, you have the Percy Jackson movie. What's your role in that?
"I play Clarisse La Rue, who's the opposite of Kim and any character I've played. She's the daughter of Ares, the God of War; she's a bully and she's mean, tough, and smart. She doesn't let anyone get in her way, and if you are in her way, she'll squash you like a bug. She sees Percy as a threat and goes after him."
It seems like you gravitate toward playing women who are both physically and emotionally strong. Why is that important to you?
"I'm lucky that people have written these cool, strong roles for young women. They've managed to picture me in that vein, and I'm happy because I've never been the damsel in distress. I've never been the wilting flower. I've never been the girl who's subservient to a man. It's been difficult to find roles that are independent, strong, and self-assured; I always say I can't play the princess. I'm not a pretty princess! I'm a tomboy."
Do you think this is why The Hunger Games resonated with so many girls?
"Exactly. Katniss is a great example of this wave of strong young women. Jennifer Lawrence has strength, confidence, and self-assurance, and it's important to young people who idolize her."

Episode 35 of the 'Nightlock Podcast has been released. You can listen to it here.
Episode 35: Boring BlizzardNews includes tons of leaked pictures of sets and actors. The focus is on Chapter 9 of Catching Fire where we bring up questions. Would Peeta made a better leader and mockingjay for the rebellion? Could Katniss have rallied District 12 to replicate District 8's uprising? Is Katniss a piece in someone else's game? Is it external forces or internal forces that cause Katniss to hurt others around her? We feature a FanFic on the perspective of Peeta when he goes back to "take care of" the girl that lit the fire in the 74th Games. We end the show with some listener feedback and a book recommendation.

Toby Jones talked about being part of the Hunger Games in an interview with Collider.
How fun is it to be a part of The Hunger Games franchise and be exposed to a whole new type of audience?
JONES: It feels great! My kids are big fans of The Hunger Games books, and they loved the first movie. It’s great that I’m in a job where they sometimes get an insight into that world. Not that they come to the set, and not that they’re interested, at all, in me telling them stories about the set, but it’s fun that we’re both interested in the same book, for different reasons.

USA Today has posted a great interview of Liam Hemsworth talking about injuries he has aquired from filming Catching Fire!
Liam Hemsworth is getting into the action on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. And sometimes that hurts.Source: hggirlonfire.com USA Today
During a stunt last week on the Atlanta set, Hemsworth reports that he took a spill, but gutted through it.
"I twisted my knee," Hemsworth says. "I try to just fight through it. There's so many people standing around waiting for you to do your thing. You feel sort of obligated not to let everyone down."
In fact, Hemsworth reports that his character, Gale, sidelined from the action in the first Hunger Games, really gets into the swing of things in Catching Fire.
"There's a bunch of action in this one," he vows. "All of the characters have much more action than they did in the first one."
The crew have been shooting in locations around Atlanta since September. While Josh Hutcherson vowed an even buffer Peeta in the new film, Hemsworth says his studly Gale is about the same as the original film. He did take some time before shooting started to "lose some weight" to get the proper look.
"It's The Hunger Games," he says. "My character needs to look hungry. A little bit."
Hemsworth has been going full throttle since last year's Hunger Games, moving from project to project. In fact, Hemsworth was in the process of completing his latest film, the corporate espionage thriller Paranoia, when he had to leave for Hunger Games. And he has to go back to Paranoia (featured in a USA TODAY sneak peek) once he's finished in Georgia.
Hemsworth even found portions of his corporate thriller painful, especially during an all-night shoot in what the director describes as a rat-filled alley.
"I spent an entire night running through this alley splashing through alley water and all this gross stuff. A concrete alleyway and I'm in suit shoes," says Hemsworth. "I was so unlucky too. I turned up on set and on the first take I got the worst stomach cramps. And I had them the entire night. It's not that easy."
Hemsworth has been working hard.
"I haven't had a break in about a year," says Hemsworth. "I've kind of shot one film to the other. And have had to prepare for each while shooting another."
"It's been a tremendous workload," he adds. "But I feel so lucky to be where I am. I'm so thankful."
