Sci Fi Now Issue 86 has arrived on newsstands in the UK featuring The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and thanks to ThePeacekeeper's keen eyes, we have some of the article for you! The issue includes interviews with Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Sam Claflin , and Francis Lawrence and a really cool guide to the layout of the Quarter Quell arena and a Hunger Games survival guide. We'll update with HQ scans when available.
Here are excerpts from the interviews. Read Josh Hutcherson, Sam Claflin, and Francis Lawrence's interviews after the jump:
Jennifer Lawrence on signing on as Katniss:
"When I first signed on to it, I expected to have a lot of regrets," admits the 23-year-old on her decision to break out of independent movies for a big studio spectacular. "But fortunately I haven't. I am happy I did take the role. [If I hadn't] I would still probably be able to go to restaurants without becoming a nervous wreck or go to Starbucks and get my own coffee - that would be different. That would be lovely."
"Originally it was just reading scripts, talking to directors and making movies," she recalls, "and then all of a sudden it was like, 'Oh yeah, you have to wear high heels and make people like you.' So when I read the book, I was laughing at that, going 'Yeah, I know how that feels.'"
On Katniss in Catching Fire:
"She's suffering from post-traumatic stress from the first Games, and she's trying to get her life back. She is living in the Victors' Village now, she doesn't have to hunt any more - which makes her feel useless and bored - and there is part of her life that Gale will never understand. Peeta is the only one that truly knows what she went through. And when she has to go back to the Capitol, it's not a foreign world to her anymore. Not that she likes it, but she understands it now and how to work it."
"The wedding dress was incredible because it's stunning, but I'm not good with big dresses - and stairs. I'm so bad"..
On being a role model and body image:
"In the first movie, when it was obviously being talked about, like, 'It's The Hunger Games, you have to lose ten pounds.' I said 'We have control over this role model. Why would we make her something unobtainable and thin?' This is a person that young girls will be looking up to, so why not make her strong? Why not make her beautiful and healthy and fit? I was very adamant about that, because I think that our industry doesn't take enough responsibility for what it does to our society. I remember what it felt like to be 14 years old, looking at a Victoria's Secret model and thinking, 'I'll never look like that.' I don't want to make someone feel like that."

Catching Fire’s Liam Hemsworth on what the franchise has meant to him:
"Hunger Games absolutely changed my life. It’s brought up so many different questions about my own personal growth and where I was heading."
We'll get you the full interview as soon as we get it into our hands.
Molly Sat, October 19, 2013 Jennifer Lawrence's mother, sister-in-law and her special friend Andy Struck spoke with WHAS-TV Friday morning about a special screening of Catching Fire that will be held in Louisville, KY on November 20th to benefit St. Mary's Center.
St. Mary’s offers day training for adults with intellectual disabilities and the screening will help fund the newly opened campus on Aiken Road.
Lawrence’s friend Andy will be attending St. Mary’s and their friendship goes way back. Lawrence and Andy became friends at Kammerer Middle School and have stayed buddies ever since.
The screening was Jennifer's idea, and is one of Lawrence’s ways of giving back. Her mom said that she's most proud that her daughter is still grounded in a heady place called Hollywood.
Tickets run from $125 to $1000 for 8 reserved seats. Each ticket will get you different things. All of them will come with a gift bag full of movie memorabilia.
If you are interest in attending you can call 502-855-6942.
