Elizabeth Banks: ‘The Hunger Games’ Movie Will Be “Highly Entertaining”

“I will tell you this: fans are not gonna be disappointed,” Elizabeth told Access Hollywood of “The Hunger Games” at the junket for her new comedy, “Our Idiot Brother,” in Beverly Hills on Saturday. “I think fans and moviegoers alike — who are not familiar with the book — are still gonna love the movie. “Any time you can make a very entertaining movie, and also get people leaving the theater thinking and scratching their heads and really taking something away from it – that’s why we do this job,” she continued, referencing the novel’s dark portrayal of our nation’s future and violent, impoverished climate. “So, it’s really exciting to be making ‘The Hunger Games’ because there’s a lot going on in that movie, but it’s also just highly, highly entertaining.” “I am a Peeta lover, but I hate to have to choose!” she told Access. “But in the books, I’m a huge Peeta lover, because he’s a lover, not a fighter.”

    It’s the opposite for me. The more I hear about the movie, and the more the cast and crew praise how it’s going,bthe more afraid I am that it’s not gonna be all that. But, with the exception of Liam as Gale, there’s hasn’t been anything of the movie that would give me cause to worry, so I won’t.

    Liam as gale in my opinion is a really good choice. He’s some hot sexy man goop and A good actor. I think people are second guessing him because he was in the movie with Miley Cyrus and that does not define him. I am not totally against peeta, I do enjoy his character. I just like gale a WHOLE lot more :)

    I never saw The Last Song but Liam just doesn’t look like how I pictured Gale. Idk. I’ll reserve judgement until after seeing the film.
