'Mockingjay Part 1' London Premiere November 11

Well, we've ALMOST got a confirmation on the date of the London premiere of Mockingjay Part 1. ODEON Cinemas have been tweeting back and forth with fans, and they've confirmed the premiere date as November 11th at Odeon Leicester Square. Then they sort of back-peddled and said that it hasn't been totally confirmed as yet. We're pretty sure we can count on this as the date but we'll keep you posted if we hear any changes. 

And thanks to @perfectjlaww and our friends at QuarterQuell.org for getting the info from Odeon!

Liam Hemsworth Talks About His Hunger Games Castmates With Nylon Guys

Liam Hemsworth is the cover star of the Oct/Nov issue of Nylon Guys (out today). Inside the issue, besides the lovely pics, Liam talks about the close bond he shares with his Hunger Games castmates. Francis Lawrence and Woody Harrelson also chime in about the cast's relationship. 

From Nylon Guys:

Of his Hunger Games castmates, Hemsworth says:  “I’ve been friends with all these people for so many years now….  I’m so lucky to have Jennifer [Lawrence] and Josh [Hutcherson] and Woody [Harrelson] and all these other great people. We’ve created really strong bonds.”  And of the fun on the set:  “It’s like high school because we’ll mess around for half the day and then we’ll do a little bit of work. Everyone’s goofing around and trying to mess each other up.”

Adds The Hunger Games: Mockingjay –Part 1 director, Francis Lawrence, “Jen was hands down the biggest joker, but any time you had Liam in a scene with some combination of Jen, Josh, or Woody, there were going to be a lot of laughs.”  And says Harrelson, “My rapport with Jen and Josh: We got on like a house fire. It was a longer process to get to know Liam. But it was only a matter of time before we were cracking each other up in scenes. We had to not look at each other or we’d mess up the shot.”

Hemsworth, 24, has already worked with an enviable group of A-list vets, telling NYLON Guys:

“Woody’s [Harrelson] like a little kid.  “Me and Jen [Lawrence] always call him a Labrador because you throw something and he’ll fetch it. When he does turn it on, he’s got the most intense, crazy look in his eyes. He’s such a great actor, yet he can be so free and just have fun with the whole thing.”

Jennifer Lawrence: The Mockingjay Sings (Literal translation "My Song Of Revolt")

In five years she’s received three Academy Award nominations, won an Oscar, and brought two billion dollars to the Hollywood box office with her movies. On November, 21, Jennifer Lawrence returns for the third installment of The Hunger Games, but she has a dream: relax.

"Nice to meet you," says Jennifer Lawrence, shaking my hand. Shining, frank, with a natural make-up, a brilliant white smile and intense eyes. "We met before," I say. She blushes. "I’m sorry." "It was a long time ago in Venice, you were a teenager!" "Oh my God!" she says. "When I came to the Film Festival for The Burning Plain , I was 18 years old, and I kept looking around asking myself: ‘Am I really in Venice? Someone pinch me!’ Since that moment, in just a few years, so many things happened, a lot of movies, awards, experiences beyond words.”
