Jennifer Lawrence almost said no to The Hunger Games…imagine Lawrence not playing ‘Katniss Everdeen.’ Lawrence took three days to decide she would decline the role until her mother talked her into the huge role. At the time Lawrence she was only accepting indie films and was not interested in a big studio film. Of course she secretly wanted to play ‘Katnis’ and finally accepted the role. Lawrence is back at work today on The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire.
She was like, `You’re being a hypocrite, because you always say you don’t care about the size of the movies.’ Because when I was doing indies, everybody was always like, `Why don’t you ever do a studio?’ I’d say, `Because I don’t care about the size of the movie. I care about the story,'” Lawrence said. “And my mom was like, `Now you have a story you like, and you’re not going to do it because of the size.’
“The truth was, in the bottom of my heart, I wanted to do it. I wanted to play this character. I was scared of the aftermath, but you can’t say no to things because you’re scared. You just have to go for it.”
