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."

Jennifer Lawrence has been named the face of the new Miss Dior Bag.
She had just turned twenty and was already nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her role in Winter’s Bone. In this dense and profound film, she played a headstrong and world-wise teenager ready to stop at nothing to save her little brother and sister, and the roof over their heads. Without skipping a beat, she headed in a very different direction for her next role as Mystique, the blue mutant in the X Men film franchise. This year, her star has shone ever more brightly with The Hunger Games, The House At The End of The Street and Silver Linings Playbook providing further proof of her multifaceted talent, with rumors already swirling of her appearances generating a host of upcoming nomination and awards.
In the meantime, one thing remains a certainty, and it’s that this young rising star of cinema will be the face of the Miss Dior bag for next spring. “Like everyone else, I first discovered Jennifer Lawrence in the roles she played in action movies,”remembers Raf Simons, creative director of woman’s wear for Christian Dior. “I was, of course, struck by her incredible on-screen presence in these blockbuster films, but also impressed by her powerful interpretations of subtler, more rounded characters. Her youth and her classic beauty, but also her force of character and the complexity she’s capable of embodying at such a young age, are, for me, both unique and very moving.”
Miss Dior, is itself today’s iconic youthful bag.
Young women know what they want, and it’s carefully crafted in the choicest leathers. With young women live multiple lives each day, it can be carried chicly by hand or slung easily over a shoulder. Just as all women are not the same, the bags come in a seemingly endless combination of colors and materials.
“I’m very excited at the idea of working with Dior and wearing Raf Simons’ new creations,” says Jennifer Lawrence of her first partnership with a fashion house. His debut ready-to-wear and haute couture have distilled all the glamour of Dior into the modern era.”

The American Library Association has named 'Hunger Games' at the #3 Most Challenged Book of 2011.
Of course, making the challenged books list isn’t necessarily a good thing — although many authors today have embraced it as a badge of honor. Books on this list are those most frequently challenged by parents and adults around the country, who want the book banned from libraries and/or school reading lists.
Part of what Banned Books Week celebrates is the fact that, despite these challenges, we live in a country where these books do remain on the library shelves. (The fight gets murkier when it comes to schools, where parents generally have more sway, and teachers are often forced to change their reading list or offer alternatives to the children of disgruntled parents.)

The Tonner Doll Company has released the Peeta Mellark doll (previously they released the Gale and Katniss dolls).
I think Peeta looks a bit young, but the clothes are very well made (I did hope they would do them book-inspired and not movie inspired). What do you think? You can head over to Tonner Dolls for more information.
