1 Fast Facts about Hunger Games that you could have missed:
- Jennifer Lawrence’s Hair Cost and Challenges: For the films, Jennifer Lawrence’s hair was styled to match Katniss’s dark reddish-brown hair from the books. The styling team rented five $6,000 lace wigs in different mahogany hues to find the perfect shade. However, Lawrence’s hair got so damaged from dyeing that she eventually had to cut it off, leading to her wearing a wig in “Mockingjay”.
- Katniss’s Name Origin: The name “Katniss” is actually derived from a common water plant known as “arrowhead,” which is a nod to the protagonist’s archery skills.
- The Soundtrack Music: The soundtrack of the films includes obscure Seventies electronic music, adding a unique audio layer to the movies.
- The Spinning Cornucopia in Catching Fire: In “Catching Fire,” the spinning cornucopia spun at 35 mph. Actors had to wear motion sickness bracelets to prevent getting sick during these intense scenes.
- Jennifer Lawrence’s Physical Preparation: To prepare for her role, Jennifer Lawrence took classes in archery, climbing, combat, yoga, and running. On the last training day, she ran into a wall at full speed but was uninjured. During filming, she accidentally kicked Josh Hutcherson, resulting in him getting a concussion.
- The Widespread Makeup Department: The makeup department for the movies was enormous, with 35 full-time makeup artists. They created over 1,800 costumes, often hand-made, just for the extras, and used around 450 wigs for the first film alone.
