I just watched this movie the other day and I would have never guessed they filmed it separately!

Jena was so good as Johanna. Catching Fire was great.

This new Hunger Games came out of nowhere right?

Idk it’s been on the radar for a while and it had some big names on it like Hunter Schafer, Peter Dinklage and Viola Davis. Maybe it’s just because I’m a fan of the book.

Nah, it's me...

I remember Elliot Page then was a fan cast for Johanna and I pictured them when I first read the book. Although Jena was pretty good.

Lmao why was Elliot the fancast?

I struggle to see him possessing Johannas anger and conviction

Maybe I need to check out Hard Candy to get it

[queenursula]

That was one of the reasons why.

Jena was perfect in this role and ILH in general
