Overview
The US star will play the lead role of character Katniss Everdeen in the new movie adaptation of the books by Suzanne Collins.
Speaking to MTV News, she said: 'I was a huge fan of the books before I even really knew about the movies. I met with [director] Gary Ross, and we had a very long, nice meeting before the audition.
'And then by the time the audition came around, we were familiar with each other.'
Asked about the training she's been doing in preparation for her action scenes, she said: 'It's lots of training, but the training is actually really fun.
'I've done archery for about six weeks, rock climbing, tree climbing and combat and running and vaulting. Also yoga and things like that to stay cat-like.'
