The Hunger Games Premiere

With a building buzz that may match or surpass the frenzy that surrounded the Twilight movies, The Hunger Games had its world premiere at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles Monday night. The Hunger Games has already been labelled as the next Twilight, and its leading actress Jennifer Lawrence who plays the main character Katniss seemed ready for the challenge and stole the spotlight when she showed up at the premiere of the movie in Los Angeles. The 21-year-old made all eyes on her as she walked the red carpet in a shimmering metallic gold gown by Prabal Gurung, with cut-out sides and a train.

The Hunger Games premiere has been held in Los Angeles today and its cast including Jennifer Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth looked amazing.

But the actress revealed that she had to think deliberately about taking on the starring role of Katniss, as she knew it would mean her private life to suffer. She said:

I’m glad I took the role but I was absolutely right about the privacy. It infuriates me but I’ve got to realise this is my new life.”

She added that people have started to pay attention to her as she said:

That’s always the nice thing, that all the people who used to ignore me are now kissing my a**.”

Miley Cyrus took on a supporting role as she showed up to support her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, who plays one of the male leads in the movie.

She donned black beaded bralet and matching maxiskirt, topped off with sky high shoes. The 19-year-old actress and singer said:

They’re my highest ones, they’re my Liam shoes.”

All of the stars of the drama film, which is an adaptation of the Suzanne Collins novel of the same name, were out in force and Josh Hutcherson, who plays a male lead alongside Liam, spoke animatedly of his excitement. He said:

I literally wanted this more than anything I’ve wanted in my whole life. The books mean the world to me… I was speechless. Words literally wouldn’t come out.”

Meanwhile Elizabeth Banks wore a plastic asymmetric orange minidress and said:

I was inspired by Effie Trinket, the character I play in the movie.”

Reality stars Kendall and Kylie Jenner were also on the red carpet and Kylie said of the suggestion they should have their own spin-off show:

I feel like we definitely should have one. We haven’t really talked to anyone about it.”

After the comparisons to Twilight, Jennifer Lawrence says she sent an email to Kristin Stewart because she had read false comments that she had apparently made about the movie star. And Kristin quickly got back to say there were no hard feelings. She said:

She wrote me back, and she was like, “It’s fine. Welcome to the world where everything you say gets turned into [something it’s not]”. So, she understood.”

The Hunger Games is set in a future where teenagers are selected to fight to the death on live television, and will be released worldwide on March 23.
