Fans of Suzanne Collins' "Hunger Games" trilogy know the dystopian series boasts plenty of iconic moments: the Reaping, Katniss' makeover, a certain young tribute's tragic demise. Yet, with so many monumental scenes to film, star Josh Hutcherson was easily able to pick out which one he was most eager to bring to life:
"I was excited for the cave scene," Josh told MTV News' Josh Horowitz during a recent sit-down. "I always thought, at least for me, it was the most character-driven part of the story where you really saw Katniss and Peeta's relationship take a big turn and come to fruition, if you will."
Leave it to nice guy Josh to pick such a lovely, tender moment between the two District 12 tributes. And then there's co-star Jennifer Lawrence, whose answer was a tad less touchy-feely.
"I didn't know what scenes we were doing until the day I showed up," she said with a wry smile. "But there were a couple days where I read the call sheet and thought, 'Oh, that's going to be a fun scene.'"
