Just last week we found out that Josh Hutcherson was spotted back to his blond “Peeta” hair in the streets of LA. Well, he’s not the only one going back to character! While Jennifer Lawrence was still a blonde when she picked up her Academy Award on Sunday, she was seen on Monday coming out of a hair salon in Beverly Hills with dark hair.

TooFab.com reports that her hair was done by colorist Lori Goddard and that she was overheard telling people she was on her way to Hawaii for Catching Fire re-shoots. Seems she wasn’t exaggerating about flying back the very next day after the Oscars! You can check out more pictures of Back-To-Brunette Jennifer over at Just Jared.

      •  
        Cant Say!!!

        Her hair might be darker because of the light she is in.

    Geez, all her hair is going to fall out if she keeps dying it… But I do like it brown:)

      I am pretty sure that she uses a speical dye that doesn’t harm her hair and very slowly washes out after a few months but if it starts to fade while filming she can just get it dyed again without harming her hair. I might been wrong though! :)

    I read somewhere that Jen said what they are doing in Hawaii is not reshoots, but actually just scenes they never finished. Did I just read an unreliable source, or was that right? I can’t remember where I got the info from.




    •  

      the media has brought up so many possibilities, but so far i don’t believe we have any concrete proof of WHAT it is they’re filming this week. most sites are just calling them “re-shoots” out of convenience, but in truth we just don’t know.

      I could’ve sworn I read the same thing at E!, but the link is taking too long to find.

      And I ALSO want some more Hawaii pics.

        It was part of an Oscar night red carpet interview. I forgot where I originally saw it but it is re-quoted at Perez-Hilton.
        “I go get my hair dyed for ‘Catching Fire’ reshoots and fly to Hawaii tomorrow morning. [We'll be there for] two weeks. [It's] not reshoots, they’re just scenes we haven’t finished.” – See more at: http://perezhilton.com/2013-02-25-jennifer-lawrence-hunger-games-reshoots-following-oscars-win#.UVMhw6xP_AM
        Admittedly Perez-Hilton is not the best source, but it would be pretty bizarre to misquote Jennifer like this so it is probably what she said.

        I wonder is she is smiling because she is getting away from all of the red carpet and award-speech stress and back to the movie set. I get the impressions from several things that she has said that she is happiest when making movies.

          There’s an interview with Jen on the Oscars red carpet where she corrected the reporter saying it was new scenes not reshoots. I think it may have been Access Hollywood with Billy Bush. there’s been a lot of interview, lol.

      Yes, ur right! On hungergamesdwtc.net I saw an interview where Jlaw herself says that they are indeed scenes they didnt finish. (I don’t even trust her as a reliable source, cause she always says she never prepares before coming on set lol) Im not that surprised actually, cause they might’ve been a little too ambitious with wanting to finish filming before Christmass. I guess reshoots or pick-ups or unfinished scenes where inevitable. But hey, more pics for us! And the fact that they’re not reshoots but unfinished scenes is actually better imo, cause reshooting means that some scenes aren’t what LG or Flawrence envisioned. (This isn’t always the case, but usually)

    I’ve watched the pictures at just jared. Her hairs is much shorter than before. I think they are shooting the scene where there the acid smoke, who ruined her Katniss’s hair. That will explain why they are shorter.




    •  
      Zaire

      Or it might be that her hair was always this short and the rest of the braid were extensions. Which is pretty normal for actresses. (So I’m not insulting her in any way!)

    Jen should just leave her hair dark the next few years. There really doesn’t seem to be a reason (besides her personal preference) to keep bouncing back and forth between brunette and blonde. I think she looks great with her dark hair :) Regardless, I am super exciting for Catching Fire! :D




    •  
      Alex

      I remember her saying back when she first dyed it for the hunger games (or maybe it was some interview with like the hair and makeup people) that they used some kind of special dying process so that it just fades away naturally overtime. I don’t think she’s constantly dying it back and fourth. That’s why she had slowly gone from brunette to light brown to blonde back around summertime. Haha, you’ll never catch Jen with the same hair color twice!

    Not to be a Debby Downer, but I hate this color. Yes the book says black but in the first movie she had dark brown hair, and in Catching Fire it’s going to be black. The change is really distracting and it makes her look pale. Sorry, but I’m really worried about this movie..




    •  
      JN

      Well, I personally LOVE that her hair is going to be black instead of brown for Catching Fire. The book says that she, Gale, and all of their neighbors in the Seam have “straight black hair, olive skin, and gray eyes.” Yes, I realize this is a tiny detail, but in the first movie they COMPLETELY messed up. They gave Jen medium-chocolate brown CURLY hair, bright blue eyes, and super fair skin (well, this part they couldn’t change that much anyways). Also, the intricate dutch braid wasn’t that realistic in my opinion; I mean, I don’t think Katniss would’ve had enough time to do that braid! In the book it’s a simple braid down her back. I’m so glad they’re finally trying to stay true to the book. Personally, I think Jen looks better with black-ish hair than her light-ish brown hair in the first movie.




      •  
        kyo

        Except , she won’t match Gale in this movie , because he is now light brown. From the stills we see.

        So now, she’ll have dark hari and gale Light brown. In the first movie he had dark hari and she was dark brown…

        I think that Suzanne Collins should have a contest (announced on t.v.) to have a teen author write another hunger games book in continuation to the last. She could announce it on a main t.v. channel. They could make a common commercial for it on multiple channels, post it on websites like Yahoo.com, and give the kid 6 weeks to write 3 chapters or so (including an outline) to show their potential.I would totally enter. Maybe if Ms. Collins gave her consent, the one child with the most probable success could continue the book series as long as they pleased.

      I have to agree with FRED even though her hair wasnt black in the first one its just a lack of continuation if they dont keep it the color it was becuase all of a sudden they decide to switch it to black. Its pretty stupid to be and hope they change it to the color it was. If they’re deciding to keep it more like the book. Then why not give her gray contacts and a slight tan? Becuase it would be dumb and different from the first one, which makes me to repeat why black instead of the brown color they had




      •  
        JN

        I don’t really think continuation is a major factor. I’m sure a lot of things will be different in CF; even the director is different, and Francis Lawrence will undoubtedly have a different directing style than Gary Ross. I’m just happy they’re finally staying true to the book.

    Eh, brown/black = not a thing IMO, but I was never one who got hung up on the physical details of the HG characters anyway.

    She’s one of the few people I’ve seen who can pull off dramatically different hair colors and look stunning in each one – everything from black to the pale blonde she had at the Oscars two years ago. (I haven’t seen her in red but I bet she’d look great.)




    •  

      I love her hair when it’s the halfway between actually, when she just lets it go back naturally and she sort of has that brown/blonde happening, but you’re right, it doesn’t matter what colour she has it she still looks fantastic.

      I think people need to remember too that the movies will be altered in post production not to mention all the scene lighting when they film before they even get to the digital alterations, so just because it looks this dark doesn’t necessarily mean it will be jet black on screen. Also, how are we to know that they don’t make a reference to The Capitol making alterations now that they are Victors? I wouldn’t be surprised to see some reference (especially when she is trying on wedding dresses) to how much they make her up.

      A slight change in her hair colour doesn’t bother me in the slightest as long as she is still conveying all of the emotion etc that makes Katniss so great. Of course the book fan in me loves that it is closer to the ‘real’ colour we imagine, but did her hair colour make a difference to who she was?




      •  
        JN

        I hope it’s jet black in the movie! :)




      •  

        I agree, the color she has halfway between bronde / blonde is what looks best on her, in my opinion!

        Also, this hair looks definitely too dark. I prefered the previous color a lot, but as you say, we can’t know if that’s the color the film’s going to show!

    is she wearing the mockingay jay necklace in the picture above??




    •  

      nope, it’s a pyrrha necklace, and that’s not a bird in the pendant, it’s a winged heart. i believe the company sent the cast some necklaces as gifts. (lucky them! i love those).

        Actually the costume designer bought Pyrrha’s pendants as wrap gifts for the cast.

    It’s not a matter about jen looking splendid in every color hair . It a CONTINUITY matters between movie. She iscurly dark brown in movie one, she will be straight hair , black hair in movie 2 and Gale is dark hair movie one and will be light brown in movie too.

    It’s not about how much an actor can pull the role. It’s just about continuity in that case, she could be blond in the third movie… Why not. She will still be able to be katniss… Since she is good and it’s not about hair color. But it will be as wrong as now. They chose her to be dark brown and curly for movie 1 for continuity she and gale should have been the same for the sequel.

    Now when you see the stills, you barely see the difference between Gale and Peeta ‘s hair’s color. Light brown for Galre, Dark blond for Peeta + katniss different hair color too.

    It just a matter of continuity between the two movies. People probably won’t notice , but if later they ‘ll take their dvd and decide to play the movie 1 and movie 2 back to back. It will appears a fault of continuity




    •  

      like tash said above, there’s still post-production to think of. we don’t know if what we’re seeing on the stills is exactly what the movie’s going to look like. and besides, sure, it may stand out as a glaring difference between the two movies, but why can’t people just assume the capitol dyed her hair? it’s not like they’re strangers to hair styling. she says in the book cinna saved her from cosmetic surgery, but not anything else.

      liam’s hair bothers me more– not because it doesn’t match jen’s, but because he felt more “gale” with darker hair– but it’s not the end of the world if it does end up looking lighter than it did in the first movie. either way i always thought it was a stretch on suzanne collins’ part, honestly; you don’t mentally identify two people as “related” just because they have the same hair and eye color, and liam and jen don’t look much alike as it is. but because i loved the book, i’m not one to get hung up on unimportant details… it’ll be the same with the movie.




      •  
        kyo

        capitol dyed Gale ‘s hair color too?




        •  

          nope, but there’s still post-prod. it’s easier to make lighter-colored hair look darker on film than the reverse option.

          either way, like i said above, i can live with gale’s hair being lighter. it’s not a big deal to me.

      I remember the lack of continuity with the Twilight characters’ hair and makeup bothered me some, but I think it’s because I wasn’t that attached to the story or characters. In this case, I just cannot bestir myself to care about the externals. Jen’s new color = CF is in progress and that’s all that matters to me.

      Again, I don’t really think continuation is a major factor. I’m sure a lot of things will be different in CF; even the director is different, and Francis Lawrence will undoubtedly have a different directing style than Gary Ross. I’m just happy they’re finally staying true to the book.

    Here are paparazzi pics of Josh in Hawai, he almost looks as a red hair. I think it’s because his hair are wet and the lighting

        The pictures of Josh are on josh hutcherson news tumblr, is you wrote in in google, you can find it.

        Oh yes, I also see the pictures of Jennifer, I ‘m a bit disappointed to see her smoking joint (I didn’t see the pic at just jared but the pics were from yesterday too ). But I guess it’s pretty standard for celebritiy and legal in USA unlike in my country.

          celeb smoking because they are so stressed of work, it’s pretty harmless, imo. Jen is big girl tho.

            yeah, I’ve seen Josh is smoking weed too in Hawaii . Both Jen and josh now. It’s disappointed. Maybe I react like that because in my country this stuff is illegal.

              Um… I’m pretty sure it’s illegal (at least it’s very DANGEROUS) in the U.S. as well. I’m disappointed in them, but it’s their own personal choices and they should be held accountable.

          FYI for kyo: Unlike most countries, the US is divided into states that can have completely different laws. I can’t think of any state where marijuana is totally legal and sold on the open market. But there are many states where you can buy pot if it’s prescribed by a doctor, and also states where pot has been “decriminalized”, which means it’s not quite legal, but treated the same way a traffic ticket would be; if you get caught, you just pay a small fine, and it doesn’t go on “your record”, you don’t have to disclose it to employers, etc.

          (While I am far from a marijuana rights advocate, I personally don’t have a problem with that, because a lot of people will experiment with this stuff and not get addicted, and being totally blackballed from a decent job because you have a “drug conviction” on your record, I think is unfair.)

    I sympathize with the people who are bothered by continuity but I would like to present another way of looking at it. To me the canonical Hunger Games story will always be Suzanne Collins’ books and I am more concerned with how the movies relate to the books rather than how they relate to each other. Nor do I expect the movies to be a literal transcription of the book. The two media are distinctly different and the strict first person narrative in the book would be nearly impossible to capture adequately on screen. Moreover the book has to be compressed in order to fit within the limits of a two and a half hour movie. What I do expect from the movie is a sort of commentary on the book – the director/screen play writers take on the material emphasizing the points they thought were most important. When I watch the “Hunger Games” I think of it as a particularly entertaining conversation with a friend about a book we both love, and which enhances my appreciation of the original. I hope that I get the same feeling from “Catching Fire”. I want Francis Lawrence and Michael Arndt to be much more concerned with their vision of the book than they are with Gary Ross’ movie. In that context Katniss’ darker hair makes poetic sense. The Katniss of “Catching Fire” is a darker character than the Katniss of the “Hunger Games”. She has been changed and in movies (which are a visual as well as a narrative art) one of the ways to emphasize this is to change her appearance.
