Jennifer Lawrence, who would return to the Hunger Games Arena (and strangle Rachel Zegler, her “substitute”)

Jennifer Lawrence it is always an inexhaustible source of skits. While it has just arrived at the cinema The Hunger Games: The Rime of the Nightingale and the Serpenta prequel based on the Mondadori novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins, the Oscar winner unleashes himself in hilarious declarations.

The dystopian franchise, in fact, gave her worldwide fame as Katniss and she jokes that she would happily take up the role that saw her step (twice) into the Arena of the hunger games.

The saga young adultsone of the most loved in the world (as well as at the box office), returns with the four cinematic chapters on Sky which dedicates an entire channel to Hunger Games from Monday 20th to Thursday 23rd November.

But that’s not all: while the prequel arouses polarized reactions (in fact it could have been done better or differently), the protagonist Rachel Zegler will return to the cinema in the role of Cinderella, after having been chosen for the remake of West Side Story by Steven Spielberg. A career-changing moment for the 22-year-old from New Jersey (but of Polish and Colombian descent), who enjoys this sudden celebrity.

The actress, during the guest at The Kelly Clarkson Show he recalled the first meeting with Jennifer Lawrence. «We were at Paris Fashion Week – recalls Rachel Zegler – for the Dior show a couple of weeks ago and I didn’t want to seem strange. I was trying to act casual and talk to her. She was incredibly kind. While we were taking photos together she said, “Let’s do one where I strangle you and tell you you’ll never get my role.” And this is the exact reaction I expected from her.”

In fact it is not the same role, but Katniss and her Lucy Gray have several traits in commonincluding coming from the poorest region of the state of Panem, District 12. Both fierce, with everything to gain and a desperation for survival, they are the portrait of the consequences of the so-called war between the poor which unfortunately continues to take place in the reality.

Who knows if the box office result will convince director Francis Lawrence to explore other eras of the story or perhaps serialize it as is about to happen with Harry Potter.

We know that Hollywood doesn’t willingly give up a goldmine, but this time you should tread carefully because neither the screenplay nor the protagonists are up to the level of the previous chapters and willpower is not enough to become “like Jennifer Lawrence”. Of course, before she got her luck together and started behaving like a diva, forgetting that her success came in part from her somewhat bloated and very spontaneous nature.

Rachel Zegler, on the other hand, is already “built”, “forged” by the expectations of social media and knows firsthand what works and what doesn’t.
