While promoting his new film Seven Psychopaths, actor Woody Harrelson (who plays Hamymitch in The Hunger Games) spoke about the recent decision to split the Mockingjay movie into two parts.
Lionsgate had made the decision in July to split the book, a move which follows closely in the steps of Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Hobbit, and Summit’s The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.
On the matter, Harrelson said, “Well, I think it could work. It really depends on how the scripts come in. I hate to comment on it before I know what it’s going to be. Obviously it’s possible that you can do it but how it’s going to turn out, I don’t know. I’m hopeful.”
He seems a bit skeptical to us, but we too believe that it’s hard to make a judgement call until we see the finished products ourselves.
Meanwhile, lead star Jennifer Lawrence commented on the split last month and had made some joking comments about it. “What I’m really thinking is yacht, yacht. My own island,” she said in regards to the higher pay day. “You want everything in there, but you don’t have enough room, and you’re trying to decide what’s going to get cut and what isn’t. So it was a relief on the last one to know that we don’t really have to cut anything. We have enough time, we have enough room to really tell this story to the fullest, and we don’t need to cut anything.”
