Shields, who plays Prim in the movies also spoke about working with new director Francis Lawerence and why she was excited about shooting the second entry.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the 12 year old actress confirmed: “I have read Catching Fire, so I do have an idea of what’s going to go on. But we haven’t really found out a lot about it yet, so we’re just waiting to see. And I am thinking about Prim, about how she’s going to act. But I’m still doing a little thinking about that.”

Shields also revealed her favourite scene from the book: “For my character, I’m really excited to do a scene with Woody Harrelson and Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer [Lawrence] where we’re making fun of Katniss and stuffing our faces with candy. It should be a lot of fun.” Finally came the obligatory optimism-about-the-new-director quote, “I have seen Water for Elephants and I Am Legend and they’re both amazing, amazing movies. And I’m really looking forward to meeting him and working with him.”

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins shooting later this year.
