Amandla Stenberg, who plays Rue in The Hunger Games, revealed last night on the Nick HALO Awards red carpet that her film character does something different than what’s found in the book.
MTV got the scoop:
All of this, we already knew, but the juicy part of what Amandla said had to do with Rue’s whistle, an element from the books that the teaser trailer tucked away as a bonus for fans. “She has a special whistle that she uses to communicate with her friend, so you’ll have to see what it sounds like,” Amandla teased.
She then added that the version in the movie would differ slightly from how it is featured in the books. “I actually sang instead of whistling,” Amandla continued. This may come as a bit of a surprise to fans of the book, since the whistle plays heavily into Katniss and Rue’s relationship.
Interesting! We wonder why they made this change?
