NEW 'Mockingjay Part 1' BTS - Jennifer Lawrence & Liam Hemsworth Hovercraft Hijinks

Jennifer Lawrence kept things interesting on the Mockingjay Part 1 set. She and Liam Hemsworth explain in this new behind the scenes video that debuted on MTV News today:

Get More: Jennifer Lawrence, Music News

Jennifer Lawrence, who stars in the franchise as hero Katniss, spends much of “Mockingjay” zooming around Panem in a hovercraft, visiting Districts under assault from the villainous Capitol. In reality, Lawrence and her co-stars were in a hovercraft that was legitimately pretty high off the ground and moving over the movie’s impressive sets. While the stars were all wearing harnesses, Lawrence liked to lean out just enough to make everyone around her really nervous.

In celebration of the home release of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1″ — you can download the movie in Digital HD Feb. 17, and the DVD and Blu-ray will be available March 6 — MTV News is sharing the exclusive behind the scenes clip of Lawrence’s on-set hovercraft shenanigans.

Happy Birthday Natalie Dormer!

Happy 33rd birthday to our Cressida, the brilliant Natalie Dormer! 

I did an audition tape at home, because I was working at home so I couldn’t be in the room, and just on the 7D did an audition tape and sent it to Francis [Lawrence].  But I got the job with that one tape, they didn’t ask me to re-record or anything, obviously Nina [Jacobson] and Jon [Feltheimer] and Francis really liked it.  I just got the phone call saying “They really love you.  They want to know if you’ll shave all your hair off.”  Like it was a dealbreaker.  So I was like, “Ummm yeah, you know what?  For The Hunger Games, I probably would.”  And that’s when I became part of the family."
