Vanity Fair.com has an interview with Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence. It also includes several beautiful photos of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss (in her wedding gown!), as well as images of Gale, Finnick, Peeta, and Effie. These are, in part, from the October issue of Vanity Fair magazine.

 

“One of the big overarching themes for all the books is this idea of the consequences of war, and one of the unfortunate consequences of war is post-traumatic stress,” explains Francis Lawrence, who directed The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, out this November. (His previous films include I Am Legend and Water for Elephants.) In the new movie, not only have young leads Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson aged nearly two years, but also their characters, Katniss and Peeta, have returned to their home district haunted by what they’ve seen and done. “That’s one of the first things you see in the movie,” the director adds. “They’re changed people because of having been in the Games.”
