The Washington Post recently chatted on the phone with Jennifer Lawrence about film making, X-Men, and how well prepared she is for the Hunger Games. Check out the interview below:
Q: Was it strange to go from doing movies like “Winter’s Bone” to an “X-Men” flick? Or is there ultimately little difference between making an indie vs. a comic-book film?
Lawrence: It’s all filmmaking. The behind-the-scenes is always different: you have a bigger trailer, there’s better food. Things like that. I still do the movies for the same reasons. I still love the script, I love the director, I love the character and the other actors involved. So all of the reasons why I was there, they were all the same.
It’s kind of like camping vs. going to a resort. They’re both fun, they’re just different kinds of fun.
Q: James McAvoy co-stars in “X-Men,” and strikes me as someone who has gone through a similar transition, having appeared in films like “Atonement,” as well as comic-book movies like this one and “Wanted.” Did you seek career advice from him?
Lawrence: No, I think we kind of mostly just joked around and messed up takes and made fart noises.
