Natalie Dormer did a twitter Q & A bright and early this morning via Lionsgate UK. If you were trapped behind the wheel commuting to work or school or slept in a little too late, we've got the entire transcription for you here:
@FR_HungerGames: Except Cressida, who is your favorite character in the whole saga?
Katniss Everdeen, our heroine!
@MrDSelenator: how did it feel when everything came to an end and ‘cut’ was called on the final scene?
It felt satisfying. I knew we’d all worked really hard for 9 months & was excited to see it come together.
@silentpolaroids: describe cressida in three words & do you see yourself in these words?
Cool. Revolutionary. Visual. Probably not she’s a bit too calm & controlled. Though we’re both passionate.
@WCKDCAPlTOL: what can we expect of this movie?
An epic conclusion of the saga! A grand finale.
@teyrgaryen: What was the funniest thing that happened on the set?
That would be hard, because when Jennifer and Woody are around there are jokes happening all the time!
@PianoFreak9: What do you think the most important thing to take away from this series is?
A strong female protagonist. It’s one step forward in equality that a protagonist can also be a heroine. That you can have an entertainment movie that is also about serious matters.
@sunset0range: Did you take any souvenirs from the set? if so what??
A haircut..!
@NadyaLoebis: What advice would you give to your character for survival?
I’d tell her to just be herself, she is enough, she just has to be her.
@silentpolaroids: Which one was more challenging for you to film Part 1 or Part 2?
To us it felt like the same movie because we shot it all in one go, which is a gift as an actor.
@artisjoshifer: Can you do the mockingjay whistle?
I can verify that I just did it on a podcast. I think I nailed it but daren’t attempt it twice in one day!
@jen_hutcherson: What was your favorite place to shoot?
I loved being in Paris and Berlin; there were some really interesting old factories and barracks. Lots of interesting European architecture. They found some truly weird and wonderful places.
@TeamKatnissMVP: Cressida is an inspired film director. Is directing something you have ever been interested in?
At the moment I’m more interested in possibly writing.
@regaldormer: How do you remember all your lines?
I learn my lines by listening to them, I record them and listen back. Unlike Cressida, I learn by listening
@regaldormer: who is your favourite super hero and why?
I've always had a softspot for Batman, he's probably my favourite!
@Artur_Badino: Was being an actress a dream of little you?
Yes!
@nataliedormcrs: tea or coffee?
Coffee!
@HeyylovesTayy: We don’t know much about Cressida’s past and how she became a rebel, was this difficult for you when it came to portraying her?
It was, me and all of the camera crew had to fill in the blanks.
Yes, absolutely! I’d be honoured to be friends with her.
@ariannesmartell: What scene out of both Mockingjay films was the most fun to film?
All of the running around and action was challenging but a lot of fun
@regaldormer: What is the best thing about your job?
Getting into flat shoes and trousers and being able to run around – the physical side of the role.
@nataliedormcrs: Do you watch the movies/shows you work on?
I like to watch my colleague’s performances. I watch them work up close & like to see how it’s cut together.
@cuddlyjoshifer: How does it feel knowing this is the conclusion to such a huge franchise?
It’s time to finish the story & give Katniss some peace; she’s been striving for so long.
PianoFreak9: What do you think the most important thing to take away from this series is.
A strong female protagonist. It’s one step forward in equality that a protagonist can also be a heroine. That you can have an entertainment movie that is also about serious matters.
@NDormerita: Who inspired you the most as an actress?
Julianne Moore, to see her and work with her up close was extraordinary. An inspiring woman.
@everlarkfever: If you had the chance to talk to Cressida, what’s one thing you would say to her?
I’d want to talk about what happened to her family, what happened to her to make her revolutionary. On set, we all had different stories about what made the team turn on the capitol.
@xwithmyidols: What was your first feeling when you heard that you had to cut your hair ?
@kellywithayy: Why do you think Katniss is such an inspiration for young girls?
She’s a real girl & she has weaknesses, as we all do. She’s a flawed hero that makes her human & relatable.
@silentpolaroids: If you could choose a super power which one would it be?
That I could speak every language in the world, so that I could speak to fans all over the world!
@inesibn: What’s one of your favorite quote from thg?
