Each fansite representative that participated got to ask one
question, so I made sure mine was a good one, especially since I was representing both Welcome to District 12 AND Victor's Village!
If President Snow
forced you onto a present day reality show, but you could pick which one, what
show would you choose and why?
So what was his answer?
So what else was asked? Questions ranged from hypothetical
to personal to insights into shooting the movie.
Shylah from Down with the Capitol asked what his own token
would be as well as Peeta’s. His would be a bone from his grandma’s fried
chicken, which is apparently the best (we’d like to try it someday!), and since
Peeta doesn’t have a great relationship with his immediate family, he thought
maybe something from a grandparent, like a pendant.
HungerGamesTrilogy.net asked Josh what crazy Capitol fashion
trend would he start, and he answered with mohawks, and he likes tank tops but
that’s not really crazy.
In keeping with the whole fansite idea of the roundtable
interview, Savanna from HG Fireside Chat asked Josh what fansite he would start.
As an avid basketball fan, he said that he would start a University of Kentucky
basketball website since he follows them really closely and knows all the
players’ stats.
MyHungerGames.com asked about how it feels seeing his face
plastered on everything, from magazines to even pillowcases. He assures us that it’s something a
person does not expect to happen in his lifetime. His friends send him pictures
of him on magazines and it’s mildly embarrassing and slightly traumatizing. But
also for him it’s reassuring to know that there is this level of excitement for
the movie and his character. How very down-to-earth!
TheHungerGamesMovies.net asked about Josh’s return to
Twitter, and he explained that he was in London and Paris and wanted to share
it, but he’s a little cautious about Twitter since he thinks it can be abused.
When he tweets he gets hundreds of responses and he still feels new to it.
Kimmy from Mockingjay.net asked about the stunts, and Josh
said that the craziest was the final showdown with Cato, Katniss and Peeta on
the Cornucopia. It took 3 nights to shoot and involved lots of intense
choreography.
HG Girl On Fire asked what was most important in bringing
his character to life, to which Josh told us about telling Suzanne Collins when
coming into the audition that he felt so much like Peeta and wondered how she
made a character that was based on him. He assured us that he had never done
that before and would’ve never done anything like it, but he felt that strongly
about it.
The Hob asked, “What scene did you find the most challenging
and did it result in any changes?”, to which Josh replied with his usual cave
scenes answer, but elaborated on it, revealing that they were shot in one day
and that Gary, Suzanne and him decided to give Peeta “a little more backbone”
than in the books, but he’s confident any difference wouldn’t be so noticeable.
When HungerGamesMovie.org asked what the most technically
difficult thing about shooting the movie was, Josh answered with dealing with
the heat, especially during a 5-day hot and humid shoot. The upside to that
though was that he felt it added a real element, adding to the scene’s inherent
intensity.
And the last question asked was “Which scene caused the most
injuries?” from SparksWillFly.org, to which Josh explained how Jennifer Lawrence gave him a concussion
in between filming a scene that shouldn’t
have given an injury.
Overall it was a lot of fun being on the same call as so
many other fansite runners and of course Mr. Josh Hutcherson! So many of us
were so excited and nervous that we were shaking (yes, me included!).
What did you think of
our question? We’d like to hear your answer too!
If President Snow
forced you onto a present day reality show, but you could pick which one, what
show would YOU choose and why?
