The actress who plays Effie in The Hunger Games has been making the press rounds recently for her new film Our Idiot Brother. The press couldn’t help but ask about The Hunger Games , and while Banks couldn’t say much she dropped a couple interesting tidbits.
While speaking with Access Hollywood she talked about the draw of the film:
“I will tell you this: fans are not gonna be disappointed,” Elizabeth told Access Hollywood of “The Hunger Games” at the junket for her new comedy, “Our Idiot Brother,” in Beverly Hills on Saturday. “I think fans and moviegoers alike — who are not familiar with the book — are still gonna love the movie.
“Any time you can make a very entertaining movie, and also get people leaving the theater thinking and scratching their heads and really taking something away from it – that’s why we do this job,” she continued, referencing the novel’s dark portrayal of our nation’s future and violent, impoverished climate. “So, it’s really exciting to be making ‘The Hunger Games’ because there’s a lot going on in that movie, but it’s also just highly, highly entertaining.”
Later in the interview Banks said she’s Team Peeta!
Banks made similar comments to ComingSoon.net:
“We’re almost done,” she says of the shoot which started in North Carolina this past May, “We’ve got a little under a month left. It’s very exciting. We’re really making a provocative movie that’s also highly entertaining. It’s gonna be fun. It’s really great to make something that you know people are excited about and also that you know is gonna deliver. I really think the fans are gonna love it.”
