The Hunger Games: Catching Fire had it's New York premiere last night. Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Francis Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Stanley Tucci, Meta Golding and Lynn Cohen were all in attendance at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater for last night's screening. Where was Josh? We know he's in New York to host SNL this weekend so it was strange that he didn't hit the red carpet. Rehearsals?

With The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opening in theaters on Friday, Nov. 22, TIME book critic Lev Grossman recently sat down for a long and wide-ranging conversation with Hunger Games creator-writer Suzanne Collins and Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence.
This is the third in a five-part series:
The descriptions of combat in the arena are so visceral, so graphic – how did you know how far you could go, in terms of describing violence to a young audience?
Suzanne Collins: I think probably my own experience as a child. I had been exposed to these things very early through history, through my father. He I think knew the level that was acceptable at different ages to explore a different topic or something with this. That was probably my guideline through all nine of the books.
I think that it’s very uncomfortable for people to talk to children about war. And so they don’t because it’s easier not to. But then you have young people at 18 who are enlisting in the army and they really don’t have the slightest idea what they’re getting into. I think we put our children at an enormous disadvantage by not educating them in war, by not letting them understand about it from a very early age. It’s not about scaring them. The stories didn’t scare me when I was a child, and in these cases they’re fictionalized. Gregor is set in a fantasy world and The Hunger Games is set far in the future. I don’t get the sense that the young readers are frightened by them. I think they’re intrigued by them and in some ways I think they’re relieved to see the topic discussed.
Francis Lawrence: Yeah, and to see you not hold back. I think that’s also part of it. It’s that you don’t hold back; you show the consequences.
SC: It’s something we should be having dialogues about a lot earlier with our children. It exists, but people get uncomfortable and they don’t know how to talk about it. There are children soldiers all around the world right now who are 9, 10, carrying arms, forced to be at war and whatnot. Can our children not even read a fictional story about it? I think they can.
See Part 1 and Part 2 of the series. More of Part 3 after the jump.
