Zitat des Tages von Josh Hutcherson:
At times when you're adapting a book into a movie, you have to take certain creative liberties to bridge the gap between the two forms of media.
There are a lot of characters that you can get into that don't exist in the studio world.
Ever since I first started acting I've wanted to have a long career.
Well, getting behind the camera is something I've always wanted to get involved with. Ever since I was doing movies like 'Zathura' I was very interested in all the different jobs on set and kind of soaking all the information up like a sponge.
I love storytelling so for me to get behind a story and get in there early in its infancy and kind of develop it in the early stages was something I really wanted to be a part of.
I'm persistent.
They're still working on the script - they've got to get that nailed down and they want the first movie to come out obviously, not get too ahead of themselves. But yeah, it's looking good. I love the second book a lot as well, so kind of diving into that is awesome.
I think the brutality is important to convey as part of the story, to see how brutal it is to have these kids in battle with one another.
I love dogs.
I was very fortunate and didn't personally encounter any bullies in school, however bullies exist in many ways in life.
I'm so excited. I love Peeta so much. I think that over the course of the next couple of books, he has so many interesting places to go to, character-wise. I'm ready to dive full-force into it. When I saw the movie actually, it got me energized. 'Let's go get some cameras! Let's go shoot the second one right now!'
I put on fifteen pounds of muscle, so that was a lot of eating chicken and a high protein, low-carb diet. Also a lot of heavy lifting and a very different kind of training with an ex-navy SEAL guy who wanted to kill me every time I got with him. In a good way.
'The Hunger Games' for me is I love the books so much and the character and the story were incredible. That's kind of the game plan is just do really interesting stories with interesting characters.
As an actor, you're always playing different people, so you yourself are always kind of going through an identity crisis.
I think girls like vampires because they are mysterious and they really don't know what they are about. I think a lot of girls are attracted to that.
I like both athletic girls and girly girls. It depends on their personality. I like girls who can go out and play sports with me and throw the football around, but you don't want a girl who's too much tougher than you. I like brainy girls who can respond to what I'm saying.
Being a heart throb would be crazy.
For me, in the third book, when Peeta gets brainwashed by the Capitol, that's going to be fun to play. The rest of the time he's very much into Katniss, and for that to get turned around and to play it the other way, that's going to be very exciting.
I don't think I've had love at first sight. But, I've definitely had moments where I've seen a person, and I'm like, 'Wow, there is something different about you, and I really want to get to know you.'
In all honesty I think that I've had a very normal life, even though I've been making movies since I was 9.
But I think what Liam said just kind of hit it spot on, that the people in the capital are brainwashed and such a disconnect with what's actually happening. They don't realize what if it was their kids that were being put into the games? They just don't have the mindset to have that kind of compassion for people.
Bullies are just ignorant.
I never really read a character before that I connected with more than Peeta. So, for me, if I couldn't get that job I was like, 'Well, if I can't play practically myself in a movie, what can I play?'
When you get to play a character that's in love, it's cool.
Oh, I am a prompt person!
We've seen some insane signs: 'Is that a loaf of bread in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?' Funny stuff along those lines. Very original. One just said, 'I will do unspeakable things.' I thought that was very interesting - and mildly terrifying!
The way I look at it, movies are a different medium for storytelling than books.
I'm pretty simple, I don't use a hairbrush or a certain kind of hair product.
My main source of reading is scripts, which doesn't leave a whole lot of room for books.
I've been on projects before where there's no rehearsal, and you walk in on set and that's literally the first time you've ever played the character, and then I've had times where there's been three weeks of rehearsal. I like both.
I've learned a lot about how people have to fight through their whole lives just to be themselves.
I love getting dressed up doing the whole premiere look.
T-shirt and jeans style now is where I'm at. Maybe a little rock 'n' roll T-shirt and jeans.
I know my life is full of awkward pauses, and I think it's hilarious.
Once you have love as a motivator in a story, your character is free to do anything. Once you say the character is in love, he can do the craziest thing that nobody would do who's not in love. Once you're in love, you have that excuse to go and do whatever you want.
I actually got really good at unicycling.
