Jennifer Lawrence on Katniss Everdeen: 'Her Face Can't Be Badass'

The possibilities certainly in Jennifer Lawrence's favor right now. Not just did she grab an Oscar nomination this year on her breakout performance in 'Winter's Bone,' but Lawrence gained the coveted role of Katniss Everdeen within the long awaited adaptation of Suzanne Collins's best-selling YA book 'The Hunger Games.' A primary reason she outperform her Katniss rivals? Possibly the truth that she knows the smoothness very well- a minimum of knowing from her new interview with Vanity Fair. "Katniss is definitely an incredible character: she's a hunter although not a killer, a 16-year-old who's having in to the arena," Lawrence told Vanity Fair. "These children are killing each other only if they do not they'll die. It's pointless, pointless, unjustified violence. It's heartbreaking. After I auditioned, I told [director] Gary [Ross], 'I understand if you do not hire me, but please keep in mind that after Katniss shoots a bow and kills someone, her face can't be badass.' So there is nothing awesome about her. It isn't like she looks round the arena and goes, Yeah, I acquired this. I believe she looks around helplessly, and thinks, I designed a promise to my sister which i would survive now I must kill to be able to achieve this.Inch Seems like the Katniss 'Hunger Games' visitors know and love. Can anybody really believe there is some question about Lawrence's casting initially due to her hair color?
