For those of you who can’t watch MTV videos, here’s an excerpt:
“I’m very excited as well, it’s going to be great,” Malone said. “I just love the books so much. I literally read all three in four days and just was crying at the end. I’m really, really excited to be a part of it.”
As a fan of Suzanne Collins’ bestselling trilogy, the 27-year-old “Sucker Punch” star clearly has an affinity for her tough-cookie character, though she didn’t want to talk too much about why she loves playing Johanna.
“Yeah, we’ll get into it when there’s more to say,” Malone said, before adding that she is in the midst of an intense training regimen to get prepared for all the various physical demands required of the role.
“Oh yeah, I’m in the thick of [training] but excited,” she said. “I love that kind of stuff. ‘Sucker Punch’ kind of got me into a regimen and now I kind of crave it.”
Pop Sugar also got the chance to talk to Jena, although she was a little more evasive with their “Catching Fire” question:
I love her!
I’m excited to know more about Catching Fire!!!
Shes great for this part.

Is this first Jena Malone’s interview for Catching Fire this month?
