Jennifer Lawrence chatted with Canoe over the weekend at TIFF to promote her new movie, ‘Silver Linings Playbook’, and to also discuss how the Hunger Games has changed the roles she has been offered.
Did the Hunger Games mean a change in the roles you’ve been offered?
I didn’t really have any career expectations. I know that seems weird, but I’ve always been incredibly lucky, in that, the one script I read, that I fall in love with and I’m like, ‘I have to make this movie!’ or ‘I have to work with this director!’ — I’ve done it.
So that was such a rare, incredibly lucky thing that’s happened to me, that I wasn’t pining after these imaginary roles that I thought Hunger Games would satisfy. It was actually the opposite — I was afraid this one character would overpower the rest of my characters. But I genuinely liked the books and the movie and that character, and I wouldn’t be embarrassed to be known as that character for the rest of my life. Well, obviously, not only that character.

Sam Claflin (Finnick) is set to star in a new romantic comedy called Modern Life is Rubbish. It looks like production is in the process of casting a female lead.
Rising actor Sam Claflin is attached to star in Brit List rom-com Modern Life is Rubbish, which is due to shoot in the UK in early 2013.
Daniel Jerome Gill’s debut feature is written by Philip Gawthorne, who adapted the script from his award-winning play of the same name. Dominic Norris of Serotonin Films and Amanda Breheny of Rising Sun Productions produce.
The film charts a music-loving couple’s painful break up after ten years. As they complete the poignant process of separating their lives and music collections, the two recount their turbulent history.
The production is currently casting a female lead.
“It is a modern, funny, deeply-romantic tale that captures how music connects those key moments that define our lives,” Norris told Screen. “Both Dan & Phil are fresh talents that inject an original and stylish approach to this universal love story and Sam is a very talented young actor and makes the perfect leading man.”
