Toby Jones spoke to Contact Music about his involvement in the Hunger Games movies and director Francis Lawrence.
Source: Contact Music via. hggirlonfire.com‘The Hunger Games’ star Toby Jones has revealed new director Francis Lawrence has put his own twist on the second chapter of the popular franchise.
Toby Jones believes ‘The Hunger Games’ will benefit from a new director.
The actor – who plays commentator Claudius Templesmith in the franchise – says that ‘Catching Fire’ director Francis Lawrence, who replaces Gary Ross, will help evolve the franchise as he has a different vision from the director of the original smash hit film.
He told BANG Showbiz: ”I would say that it’s got a different director with different sensibility. I think he’ll want to bring his own mark to it. It’s clichéd, but you want to respect the books that have been very successful but bring it on a bit.”
The actor added that he’s a ”huge admirer” of series star Jennifer Lawrence - who plays crossbow-wielding heroine Katniss Everdeen – because of her confidence both on and off screen.
He said: ”I was at the Golden Globes last weekend and I watched her get her award for ‘Silver Linings Playbook’, and I worked with her on a film called ‘Serena’ that’s coming out this year. She is remarkable. It’s not that she’s uber-confident, or uber-flashy or arrogant, she’s just an incredibly straightforward person.
”All of this [red carpet events] may seem natural for you [journalists], but it doesn’t feel natural for actors. She handles it all with such an ease. She has some of that on screen. I’m a huge admirer of her.”
Toby admits, however, that compared to his co-star, his role in the series is far less stressful.
He explained: ”Every now and then, they ask me to come in and improvise with Stanley Tucci for an afternoon. They fly me off to America, I improvise for an afternoon – it’s not the hardest, most taxing job. I’m very proud to be part of that because I think the books are tremendous. I know from my daughters they’re compelling books. I’m very happy to represent what they read.”

Francis Lawrence did an interview with MTV Hollywood Crush on the scenes he is most proud of and how the book translated to film.
Source: MTV Hollywood Crush via. Mockingjay.netOn whether there are major changes from the book:
“No, not really, I would say that it’s a really faithful adaptation. You know, whenever you’re adapting something that’s a 12- or 14-hour read down to something that has to be around two hours, there’s going to be some cuts. We definitely made some cuts. I don’t want to go into that, but we did it with Suzanne, and I would say that it’s very, very faithful. We tried to get as much as we could in there.”
On the scenes he’s most proud of:
“It’s interesting because there’s a very small blur—I want to say it’s a paragraph long in the book—but the moment in the arena when the gamemaker starts to spin the cornucopia, and I’m very proud of that. We designed a very cool sequence and created a spinning island, and that’s going to be very, very cool. So that’s kind of fun and very unique. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s cool.
“You know one of the very first things we shot that I like quite a lot is, there is sort of a goodbye before she goes into the arena with Liam that I like a lot. And it was actually—we shot it because we needed summer foliage and summer flowers and things like that. We actually shot it while we were in prep. Very first thing we sort of went out into the meadow, out in the mountains in north Georgia and shot this sequence over three or four hours or so, and I really like it. I think it’s really nice. Jennifer and Liam are really good in it. It’s very nice.”

Beth: He was one of my favourite characters and he has one of the biggest arcs. Was he one of yours? Did he stand out while you were reading, like you struck gold that you got the good part?Source: The Hob
Sam Claflin: I mean for me, I was already kinda cast! He definitely stuck out somewhat but for all the wrong reasons. Very selfishly, that was the only character I really cared about [laughs]. But the great thing about the books is that Suzanne Collins created these great arcs for each and every character, no matter, I mean from Katniss all the way down to her sister, to her mother. You know, each character goes on a journey. And I think that’s what’s so riveting about the books themselves.

In an interview with E! Online the Hunger Games musical director T.Bone Burnett spoke about Taylor Swift's involvement on the companion album.
Source: E! Online via. Hggirlonfire“She’s a great girl,” says T-Bone Burnett, the legendary producer who collaborated with Tay-Tay on her Hunger Games song “Eyes Open.” “She’s also got some kind of insight insider something. She said something that I thought was interesting. She said that whoever is writing the new songs is raising the next generation.”
Burnett was very impressed.
I thought it was interesting that she would take on that kind of responsibility,” Burnett said. “Not that it was her responsibility but she wasn’t going to shake that responsibility. We need more artists like that.”
No surprise, but Burnett would love to work with Swift again. “I hope so,” he said. “I pray so.”
Swift was their first choice for the Hunger Games tune. “It was just the easiest thing in the world,” Burnett said. “She seemed like the right voice for the musical voice for Katniss. So she’s the first person we contacted really and then we didn’t know what we were going to do. It was more, ‘Do you want to do something? Let’s do something.”

Lawrence calls her collaboration with Russell "the best experience" of her life, an assessment supported by the way her parents reacted to the movie when they saw it at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Lawrence found them after the movie ended and immediately noticed that her dad, a man she has never seen cry, was "covered in tears." So, according to her father, at least, Lawrence proceded to yell in front of everyone, "Dad, you're crying!" — a "betrayal" he still gives her grief for.Read the full article here.

Apparently Paula Malcomson has given her character a first name! In an interview with ET Online Paula speaks about playing Mrs. Everdeen and naming her character.
Isn't Clara a great name for Mrs. Everdeen? It is so dainty and proper for the merchant girl, pretty too. I always imagined her named after a flower like Iris or maybe even Rose (perhaps the reason for Prim's name.)

Well, following the Ray Donovan presentation at Showtime’s Television Critics Association Tour day, I caught up with Paula Malcomson, who plays Abby Donovan in the thrilling new drama in addition to starring as Katniss’ mother in The Hunger Games films, to see if she had any insider information on the subject.
“There’s not a lot on the page,” Malcomson told me about the role, but adds, “When I read those books, I was excited about the possibilities and felt like this could be a really fun role.” Although Malcomson quickly realized she had become a little too invested in creating weight to her performance.
“In the first movie, I was doing it for real. I didn’t want to show up and be all pretty. I wanted to go in there and be hungry, be oppressed. I quickly realized I was acting like I was in a different film from the rest of the cast [laughs]. I just think there’s a heaviness that I was bringing that I don’t know if it was the story they were trying to tell in this. But there’s such a great character progression with her. She has this rebirth throughout the series, so I play it out in my head a lot.”
In creating an elaborate backstory for her character, Malcomson also created a first name for her character. “I named her Clara,” she tells ETonline. “I don’t know why, but that just came to me.”
The actress recently wrapped filming on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. An experience she says was better than the first. “I was so excited about working with [new director] Francis Lawrence,” she said. “It was also nice to go back now that we all know each other. It’s like a beautiful reunion this summer and had a great time.”
Ray Donovan premieres June 30 on Showtime, while The Hunger Games: Catching Fire hits theaters on November 22, 2013.

A lot of debate, speculation, and tears have been going on about what characters we will and will not see in the Catching Fire film. Entertainment Weekly spoke with Francis Lawrence about this and confirmed that Darius, Bonny, and Twill will not be in the movie.
Lawrence says he and Collins were always in agreement about what from the book needed to be distilled, though he was coy about cuts. When asked, for instance, whether we should expect to see Bonnie and Twill — the District 8 runaways Katniss stumbles upon in the woods who first alert her to both the rebellion she inadvertently sparked and the existence of District 13 — he at first demurred. “You’ve got to wait and see,” he urged. But when it was pointed out that there is in fact no Bonnie and Twill listed on the movie’s IMDB page, he gave it up. “Ah, right,” he said with a laugh. On how the movie will now introduce District 13, Lawrence would only say that “it was fun figuring out new ways around things and new ways of doing things.” With Bonnie and Twill gone, so too is the scene of Katniss scaling a tree and then leaping over District 12′s electrified fence. And Darius, District 12′s youngest peacekeeper who intervenes during Gale’s whipping and then sentenced to the life of an Avox, is another who didn’t make the leap from page to screen.
If the loss of Darius bums you out (and it should!), know at least that the filmmakers feel your pain. “It’s as agonizing for us to lose things from the book as it is for a fan,” says producer Nina Jacobson. “I want every single thing in there. But you know what? If you have to give up something in order to give more time to Katniss and Gale or to Effie as she starts to feel a conscience, you make the sacrifices in order to serve the characters and themes that are more essential.”
