Shields is looking forward to shooting the next Hunger Games film, and dreams of working with Meryl Streep.
“That actually helped me and Amandla bond in our own way, doing those types of scenes and connecting with Jennifer and the character Katniss.” “We’ve both got these really emotional scenes,” she says. She grew close to Amandla Stenberg, the actress who plays Rue.
While Shields bonded with Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) between scenes on set - “We would always goof around and make jokes to try to lighten the mood” - she spent a lot of her downtime with the younger actors playing Tributes in the film, whether at set school or swimming to cool off after a day of shooting or training in 100-degree heat. The thought of her being chosen, and then her sister taking her place, thinking that her sister would never come home - it’s crazy to think that that would really happen.” (Like Prim, Willow isn’t made for the arena: Ask her what she would want parachuted to her, and the only answer she can come with is “no weapons.”) I could never imagine thinking that you’re gonna go to the Reaping and if you get chosen, then you have to go fight to the death. “Before the Reaping, she’s super nervous. “I think he was trying to leave it up to me how I thought Prim would act in that situation,” she says. Ross encouraged her to trust her instincts. Shields says she was most nervous to shoot the Reaping, which took five or six days in total, because it was such an important scene. Once she got to set, which scene was Shields most nervous to film? And who is her dream costar after she wraps on Games? Click through to find out. He pretty much told her she had the part on the spot. a couple of weeks later to read the scene in which Prim says goodbye to Katniss as she leaves for the Games, for director Gary Ross. It was the result of the rebellion's momentum towards its bloody conclusion that took Prim, and nearly Katniss, along with it.Willow taped an audition from New Mexico, where she still lives, and flew to L.A.
Prim's death is a tragic addition to an already gutting story, but blame would be misplaced on any one person. "I just wanted to embody that strength for Prim as much as possible," Shields told MTV. Actress Willow Shields, who plays Prim, readied herself for the final scene - but little can prepare the actors or audiences for the death of a brave young woman as a casualty of in-fighting during the rebellion.

And even though he was not really responsible for the attack, which also killed and maimed many Capitol children, it was intended to look as though he ordered it - and it's never clear, scheming and cagey as he is, to what extent he was responsible for the violence that broke out on the day Prim died.įans of the series have known this death was coming since the films began shooting. With blood constantly pouring from his mouth and those cold blue eyes, President Snow cuts an imposing figure in any case, and even more so when he confesses to Katniss that he has no trepidation about killing children when the moment calls for it. And while Katniss was far enough from the bombs, and close enough to medical care, that she makes it through the violence, her sister Prim was not. It's a tactic devised by Gale - bombs are delivered on tiny parachutes much like those used to bring supplies from sponsors to tributes in the Hunger Games arena, detonating in one wave and then a second to strike where the damage has already occurred.
And that's when the rest of the parachutes go off." She and Prim are both caught in a secondary blast meant to exponentially increase the casualties caused by a first round of bombings. "Because for just a moment, she catches sight of me, her lips form my name. She sees Prim at the Capitol gates, aiding children who have been trapped and injured by the sudden violence. "I think she hears me," Katniss narrates in the book. It should go without saying that there are quite a few spoilers ahead. Katniss seems to keep Prim out of harm's way, but when the districts of Panem become embroiled in a civil war, there's not much that she can do to protect her sister, now a skilled medic, while still acting as the face of the revolution. Katniss's own sister Prim is one of the children meant to take a place in the arena, though Katniss replaces her in the reaping. Think of the elderly victors called back to the arena for the Quarter Quell, or the youngest of each of the Districts whose names are put forth for the Games each year. The Hunger Games trilogy has a tendency to sacrifice even its weakest and most vulnerable.
