The latest edition of the UK Empire Magazine has a great new Hunger Games feature. You can check out our previous posts to see new scans of pictures of Effie, Peeta and Haymitch in the train on the way to the Capitol, as well as picture of Katniss at the fence line of District 12. The other thing the magazine has featured is a “Know Your Other Tributes” section.
You can click on the images below to see them in their full size – but here’s what they say about Cato, Glimmer, Marvel, Foxface, Thresh and Rue.
This picture is of Katniss at the fence line of District 12. Apparently it’s a screen grab from the iPad edition of the magazine and would explain the “press to watch trailer” button.
A scan from the UK Empire magazine article featuring The Hunger Games movie, and a new still from the film turned up the other day. Now a better quality scan has been posted on a Hunger Games Fan site in France. It shows Effie reapplying her makeup while Haymitch and Peeta are seated and eating in the background. It looks like they’re in the train on the way from District 12 to the Capitol.
Allure Magazine has posted that make-up artist Ve Neil took a creative approach to Katniss‘ makeup in the chariot scene in The Hunger Games movie. Here’s what he had to say on how they got her look:
Eyes: Neill used M.A.C. Eyeshadow in Orange to create the flare in the outer corners before lining her eyes in black cream liner. She added Urban Decay False Lashes in Lure for extra intensity. “The more makeup you put on a beautiful woman, the more exotic and mature she looks,” said Neill. “We wanted to keep her looking really youthful.”
Cheeks: Neill drew attention to her “beautiful, heart-shaped face” by highlighting her cheekbones with M.A.C. Lustre Drops in Sunrush (a liquid gold highlighter).
Lips: Those lips (which spend the last half of the Games kissing Peeta) were amped up with L’Oréal Infallible Lipgloss in Fiery (a bronzey pink). “We wanted it to be clean, crisp beauty with touches of color,” Neill said.
So try it and send us your pic with the makeup on!
Box Office Prophets has a great article in which they talk to Elizabeth Banks about her upcoming release, Man on a Ledge. Of course, they had to get some Hunger Games questions in there as well!
Your next movie coming out is The Hunger Games, which I have to ask about.
EB: You should read it, it’s really good. You won’t regret it.
But you had to shave your eyebrows for the role?
EB: I didn’t shave them, I bleached them. It’s almost worse than shaving them (laughs). If I shaved them, I could paint something on probably. But when you bleach them, you just have bright-white eyebrows. They are literally (holds up an egg white coffee cup to her eye) this color on your face. It’s really freaking, because you look like you are an albino, but only right there.
How long did you have to keep that for?
EB: I kept them for three months. You can color them in, but it doesn’t really work.
Did you help shape the look?
EB: It was a true collaboration. … I have super white skin. It’s very Marie Antoinette meets kabuki (laughs). …. The reference from the director was Joel Grey in Cabaret; that cracked white, overly made up face. So we kind of started there, that was the first picture that we looked at. Then we went to the hair, “Is it curly or is it up?” Then the whole Marie Antoinette hair thing came into it. We wanted decadence, madness, she’s a very theatrical character. That was my mantra word, “She’s theatrical!” And futuristic, but recognizable. We didn’t make The Fifth Element.
There have been recent reports of impoverished North Korean farmers reduced to eating boiled tree bark for sustenance. Any one that has read The Hunger Games knows that the characters have resorted to this survival tatic a few times before.
Also In Finland, bark bread made from pine and birch trees was born in a time of famine and remains popular to this day throughout Scandinavia.
Could bark now also be heading to a bar or restaurant near you?
The idea of feasting on wood may sound more unusual than it really is.
Breads, pancake mixes, breakfast cereals crackers, pizza crust, mashed potato mixes and nearly every product made by McDonald’s contains wood pulp by its more consumer-friendly name, cellulose.
How cool is that? Would you ever resort to eating tree bark? Have you before? What was it like?
