Jennifer Lawrence looks fabulous in all black! Check out this upcoming issue of The Hollywood Reporter about The Hunger Games movie!

1. JENNIFER LAWRENCE TOOK THREE DAYS TO SAY YES TO THE ROLE OF KATNISS
Numerous actresses were considered for the lead — among them Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), Shailene Woodley (The Descendants) and Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) — but Ross never felt he had the right person. Then he met Lawrence, fresh off an Oscar nomination for Winter’s Bone, the 2010 indie release that put her on the map. But Lawrence hesitated, aware this could take her from being respected by her peers to the center of a pop-culture tornado — precisely the fate that had befallen Stewart with Twilight. “It was the middle of the night in England, and I was in bed when I got the call,” she remembers. “And I was so in love with the books and the script, and suddenly it was right in my face — and the size of the decision was terrifying.”

Her mom helped in the decision. “I called my mom and she called me a hypocrite, because when I was doing indie movies and everyone was asking why I didn’t do studio movies, I said, ‘The size of the movie doesn’t matter.’ And she said, ‘Here’s a movie you love and you were thinking of turning it down because of its size.’ I thought, ‘I don’t want to miss out because I’m scared. Me being scared, I never want that to stop me fromdoing something.’ But I knew in my heart that I wanted it — it was about working out all the fears.”

What? I can’t believe it took Jennifer Lawrence 3 days to say yes to the biggest film of 2012 The Hunger Games!

2. SO HOW MUCH IS LAWRENCE GETTING PAID?
Lawrence’s salary for the first film is a modest $500,000 (about what Stewart received for the first Twilight), plus “escalators,” bonuses based on the movie’s performance.

Those escalators better be good because I believe Jennifer Lawrence deserves much more then that for a multi-million dollar film like The Hunger Games.

5. THE LEAD TRIO IS CONTRACTED FOR ENTIRE FRANCHISE
Ross already is committed to the first sequel, Catching Fire, which he hopes to start shooting in September from a script by Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire), and the three young stars all are signed up for the full franchise.

Good News is Jennifer Lawrence will be the ONLY Katniss Everdeen to grace the movie screens anytime soon.

6. LAWRENCE’S ACCIDENT ALMOST HALTED FILMING OF ‘HUNGER GAMES’
On the last day of her six-week training phase, in which she’d become an expert at using a bow and arrow, climbing and jumping, Lawrence hit a wall — literally. “I had to do 10 ‘wall runs,’ where you run at the wall as hard as you can to get traction,” she recalls, explaining that her trainer would make her race at a wall with maximum speed to gain the momentum needed to propel her up. “I ran at it and my foot didn’t go up, so I caught the wall with my stomach. My trainer thought I had burst my spleen. I had to get a CAT scan and go into a tube where they put this fiery liquid in your body.” Fortunately, she was in great shape from her previous film. “I was still pretty bulked up from X-Men: First Class,” she says. “So a lot of the training was getting muscle back, heightening the muscles without building them. I loved the archery — well, I have a love-hate relationship with it.” With her trainer holding her hand, Lawrence learned she was badly bruised but nothing was broken — and work could continue.

OMG, I’m so glad Jennifer Lawrence didn’t get hurt too badly. Training can be tough and I’m glad she pulled through!

Jennifer Lawrence looks beautiful in this Movie Poster for The Hunger Games!

Moviefone.com: With “The Hunger Games” just over nine weeks away from theatrical release (all together now: get here!), it’s time for one last bit of marketing awesomeness: the final poster!

You’ve seen the character posters — as well as that one created following an Internet-wide scavenger hunt — but now see the last hurrah: Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) taking aim with her trusty bow.

The dystopian YA book — based on the worldwide best-selling series by Suzanne Collins — focuses on Katniss and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), two District 12 Tributes who get sent to the Capitol for the 74th annual Hunger Games, a battle to the death for Panem’s young adults. The first installment of highly anticipated franchise arrives in theaters on March 23. As the tagline states, the world will be watching.

Thanks to EW we have another still of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. This photo shows Katniss Everdeen all suited up and ready for The Hunger Games.

Entertainment Weekly: Everyone who has read Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games has a specific mental image of what this world and its characters should look like, especially certain crucial scenes like the opening ceremonies of the Games. Well, bravo, Gary Ross and company. In this exclusive photo from the moments just before their introduction, Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) readies a final flaming flourish to Peeta and Katniss’s black costumes. “This is one of those moments where Cinna’s character syncs up with the creativity of our costume designer Judianna Makovsky,” says Ross. (Makovsky earned Oscar nominations for her work on Ross’ previous movies Pleasantville and Seabiscuit.) “What Cinna was trying to do was create something that came out of District 12, out of a coal mining world, with a fresh, bold look to it. So Judianna went to this wonderful black reflective material that glistened like coal or graphite and would obviously work well in the Tribute parade where Katniss becomes the Girl on Fire.”
