Jennifer Lawrence covers the November issue of Empire magainze as Katniss Everdeen. Of course all eyes are on the upcoming release of Hunger Games: Catching Fire. At first I wasn’t looking as forward to this sequel as the first movie. I (perhaps unfairly) blamed Sam Claflin and his uneventful portrayal of Finnick Odair in three seconds of the trailer. I’ll still see the second movie and give it a fair chance. Empire magazine is warming up the promotional trail:
Our heroine, Katniss Everdeen, will be on the cover of Empire Magazine’s November issue. This issue will be Empire’s winter preview, and will have a feature on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, alongside other highly-anticipated movies such as Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity, the second installment of The Hobbit, and more.
The feature will include comments by Jennifer Lawrence on dealing with her ballooning fame, and how she deals with people treating her differently now that she’s made it big:
“I get that a lot,” she admitted. “I’ll go to get a coffee where I always get coffee and all of a sudden theres this weird mood, and I’m like, ‘Come on, I still get coffee here, just say hello’.”
[From Empire Online]
Note to JLaw: Buy a Keurig. It’s not “real coffee,” but it does the caffeinated trick. She shouldn’t be so surprised at people’s reactions. If I saw Jennifer in a coffee shop, I’d probably have the same dorked-out reaction she did while meeting Jeff Bridges. Are we still excited for a real heroine like Katniss Everdeen to hit the big screen? She’s such a great role model for kids and adults alike. For Katniss, the end goal is never a romantic relationship. As a mother of a tween girl, I sincerely appreciate the sentiment.
Here’s the real reason for this post — some pap pictures of JLaw and Liam Hemsworth catching dinner together. This event comes after a hard day on the Mockingjay set in Atlanta. Thank goodness Jennifer and Nicholas Hoult are officially a couple again. Otherwise we’d be hearing all sorts of fake hook-up rumors all over again.

I am really looking forward to Catching Fire…the cast is wonderful and I loved the series. Jennifer Lawrence and Philip Seymour Hoffman in the same film will be very cool.
Those bangs on her promo shoot look hideous…
yeah, I’m not twihard-ing it or anything but I liked the first one well enough to see the second.
and this is just a superficial compliant, I really dislike Jennifer’s shoes.
No way! I really like those shoes. I need them in my life.
I was thinking the same thing. I looooove them!
Yes, still madly in love with Katniss. Seriously can’t wait for this movie (though I’m still feeling a little meh about Sam Claflin, but I’ll wait to actually see the movie before I judge him.)
The best thing about the pictures with Liam Hemsworth, is how badly the Joshifer shippers are handling them.
Yes! I’m so excited! Catching Fire is my favorite of the three and the trailer was amazing so I have high hopes. Plus I’m always here for some JLaw! <3
Catching Fire was my favourite too! I just rewatched The Hunger Games and while I don’t think it did the book justice, it made me super excited for November. The trailer already looks 10x better than the first!
Is it weird that she doesn’t look like a teen or early twenties to me? She looks more mature even though she still acts her age. Her face is very unique in a way. She looks like Renee Zellweger.
Maybe she’ll break up with Nicolas for the promotion of this film like she did for SLP.
lol what is this comment… If she wanted to do a pr stunt for the promotion of the movie she would do a pr relationship with the lesser Hemsworth. Fortunately, nor does the movie or JLaw need pr stunts.
from what I understand, it was mutual. she had to promote a movie and he’s a private kind of guy. maybe they just decided to give each other some space.
I still think that the dude did the break up. I always got the impression from her interviews when she was talking about him that she was more into him than he was with her. He just couldnt’t handle her fame and the distance played an important part. That’s why I think they’re not gonna last tbh.
I honestly do like the fist movie and Katniss´s character in it more than the books and book Katniss. First time ever, usually I always prefer the book. I am excited for this.
SO excited for this film, i adore jennifer ! she can do no wrong. also i have a slightly shameful crush on that douche liam hemsworth 🙁
Excited for this! But damn, they’re filming mockingjay already? She’s been filming movies non stop. Does she ever sleep?
They’re apparently filming Mockingjay back to back then there’s promotion for American Hustle, Serena, XMen, not to mention awards season….plus she has a couple more films on her slate on imdb. Sheesh….it’s going to be another long while before she gets a break. I get just working and working and working because your young and there’s plenty of time to chill. But she will burn herself out early.
I really hope she’s able to take small breaks in between because that is way too much to have going on, I get that she’s young, she loves what she does, she’s good at it and she doesn’t have kids or anything but that is A LOT for anyone to handle.
Looking forward to Catching Fire, Jennifer Lawrence is very talented.
I cannot wait to see Catching Fire, it was my favourite book of the series, the stills look AMAZING and I adore Jennifer Lawrence.
And does anyone have an I.D. on the sandals she’s wearing in the second last picture? I want!
Love it, love her. Even if I didn’t I’d support it for being one of the few female driven franchises where the female is not an idiot. Yes I’m looking at you Twilight and 50 Shades.
+1 Katniss over Bella/Anastasia any day of the week.
Very much looking forward to Catching Fire!. I’m a huge fan of Jennifer Lawrence and The Hunger Games books. I can’t wait to see the arena….should be cool!.
Every time I think of Sam Clafin playing Finnick I want to hurl. Otherwise yep very much looking forward to Catching Fire. Love me some JLaw
NO!! I love her but she is so NOT Katniss.
If you read the book, Katniss constantly reminds the readers how she is so small that she can climb trees so well and she can dangle from the thinnest branch possible.
She is above the average height. And with Josh Hutcherson as Peeta, they have the weirdest chemistry ever on screen. Like.. they look like sister and brother (lawrence being the older sister..) i think Josh is great for Peeta and they should’ve cast a girl with small frame and at least a girl who’s shorter than josh!
i think the contrary actually, Jennifer plays the lead character and plays Katniss to perfection, they should have cast somebody else other than Josh Hutcherson if they had to make a choice.
You always build around your lead actress not the other way around especially if your lead actress is considered a top talent by critics and knowledgeable industry people alike. JMO.
I agree. She utterly bores me as Katniss. I stand by Saoirse Ronan as Katniss. Girl was perfect for the role.
oh and i just finished the Divergent series. i saw some people comparing Katniss to Beatrice on this site so i started reading it and i think Beatris is also a great role model for young girls. i even prefer Divergent series to hunger games series. it was so good!
*mushes JL to the right to get a better look at Keanu*
wth is 47 Ronin??? KeKe looks dead sexy! 😛
*twirls off to youtube for trailer* 😉
First thing I noticed too – Keanu!
Oh, and it’s only 3 months to go till 47 Ronin, it comes out on Christmas Day.
Yes!!, my daughter and I are seeing Catching Fire together…I think Jennifer Lawrence is a terrific Katniss (I think she’s a marvelous actress period). The film also has gathered together a great supporting cast as well. So, yeah, very excited for the film.
big ears?
What kind of question is that?! Of course I love her, always and forever. One of the greatest heroines of out time. And JLaw being the one who portraits her is a bonus!
Oh yeah!. Love The Hunger Games Series, love Jennifer Lawrence. Absolutely looking forward to Catching Fire!.
SO excited for Catching Fire!!! I’m literally counting down the days to the premiere 😀
They’d make a hot couple tbh. I always liked her chemistry with him.
The keurig is the worst though. Makes the weakest coffe. I need 2-3 cups vs one of regular drip coffee
I love Katniss mostly because of my love for Jennifer Lawrence. I read the books so long ago I’m kind of over the hype but I’ll see the movie and I’ll enjoy it I”m sure.
