Did You Know In THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE…

The water scenes were filmed in a water park in Atlanta, and the water was just barely 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Lynn Cohen was exempt from filming her scenes in it as the director was concerned for her health and safety. During the scene where she’s carried on Sam’s back, he lost his footing, banged his knee on the rock, and they both fell into the water. He felt terrible for the accident, but Lynn thought it was hilarious. Also, during the scene where Katniss, Peeta, and Finnick eat raw fish, they’re really eating raw fish. Jennifer and Sam aren’t fond of fish, but Jennifer had the hardest time eating it.

[@Macey88]

I was like; “what! They’re actually making them eat raw fish?” And then I realized I was eating sushi

[@Mediados]

Yeah raw fish isn't uncommon, which is why that's kind of weird.

[@greenpiersystem]

​@@Mediados I think the reason it's weird is because while you CAN eat some fish, if you check it, completely raw, it's not suggested in general because of diseases or other side effects, just like other raw food. No one is saying you have to eat charcoal, but it's also generally not advisable to eat everything raw, unlike what well-paid steroid-enhanced musclemen will tell you. Also, it's just generally funny to bring up that while one of the actors was completely fine, Jennifer is over in the corner having a fit that she's being paid well to have a 30 second scene where she eats realistic food.

[@Mediados]

@@greenpiersystem Yeah Jennifer Lawrence has the reputation of being surprisingly sensitive for the field of work she chose. If you become a professional actor you have to know what you're getting into. Besides, you can trust the crew that they won't risk food poisoning you. These kinds of things are usually checked three times over before you actually have to do them.

[@greenpiersystem]

@@Mediados Eh, well, after Rust, I would put a little more skepticism on that. But yeah, Jennifer Lawrence is not just sensitive. I just didn't want to run her over. I like the Hunger Games movies, but it's this combined with times like when she came up to get an award and was practically falling over herself from how drunk she was that make me go "yup... that's a Karen in a nutshell. She's just pretty and in Hollywood."

[@splendidhorror1517]

As someone had a pretty severe knee injury with the adrenaline and just the fact of the location (which is pretty hard to break or shatter) he probably only received a few bruises and a bit of soreness.

I will say, that her falling in the water for 5 seconds is nothing compared to her being on contract, and doing hours of water scene takes. Director respected the older women, my favorite character from the 2nd movie… I think she volunteered for Finnick cause she knew he would win, and she wanted him to go be with Annie his wife. Touched my heart when granny volunteered for him. I’m more choked up now while im rewatching the show.

I always got the impression that Mags mentored Finnick during his Games and he became like a grandson to her.

It depends on the type of fish for me. Salmon either raw or cooked (smoked salmon I love) is great. I think a lot of people are scared of raw fish because they assume it automatically has worms, which isn't always the case. And if the meat did, it would be obvious and you wouldn't want to eat it.

[@clairegrim4369]

There’s no reason they couldn’t have used a stunt double for Mags, and even changed the double’s face to appear as Mags’ face during compositing in post-production. They did it for Phillip Hoffman’s face to appear on a double as Plutarch. There has to be some other reason Mags wasn’t included in that scene, Bc it was entirely possible to do. Trust me, I work in film and animation/special effects.

[@david-jonballinger6638]

Cost probably. Seeing as Mags isn't a fighter and probably wouldn't be doing much in that scene, it stands to reason that they could shave off some money if they didn't hire a stunt double etc. And just had no shots of her in that section

[@EmelyPhan]

They never did use a stunt double for Phillp Seymour Hoffman. According to the director, the ending had to be rewritten, it was just footage that was meant to appear in the original ending and he didn't want to waste more money to do CGI.

Yeah I feel sorry for Jennifer cause having to eat something you really hate can be extremely stressful mentally and physically.

I feel like that's just purposely reading into a situation to insult someone and I hate that celebs have to face that kind of unwarranted lack of empathy. I mean some of them are weirdos and some of them ARE divas but in this case Jennifer was just struggling with something and that doesn't make her a diva...
