Elizabeth Banks meets Catching Fire Director Francis Lawrence
Elizabeth Banks has told E! Online that she caught up with Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence for a coffee and a chat over where the story was headed in sequel to The Hunger Games.
Elizabeth joked that it was a relaxing meeting for her:
“Let me tell you what’s fun—to have the job before the director!… That has never happened ever in my life,” she said.
She added with a big laugh, “Going into that meeting, I was like, ‘I have the job. You tell me what you’re going to do, buddy—cause I’m already in this hit movie.’”
Banks and Lawrence met for coffee. “We talked about where the movie is going,” she said. “It was great.” No, she’s not spilling on any specifics.
Banks is, no surprise, looking forward to playing Effie again. “I love being with Woody [Harrelson] and Lenny [Kravitz],” she said. “That’s who I get to pal around with.”
Elizabeth also talked a bit about her Hunger Games co-stars:
Banks is, no surprise, looking forward to playing Effie again. “I love being with Woody [Harrelson] and Lenny [Kravitz],” she said. “That’s who I get to pal around with.”
And we love hearing that HG‘s three breakout stars, Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, haven’t let success go to their heads. “They’re all so real,” Banks said.
And so beautiful, too—especially the Aussie hunk of the bunch. “Liam is ridiculously good-looking,” Banks gushed. “I mean, ridiculous.”
