Isabelle Furhman: I think because the souls of dark characters are so different than good characters. When someone does something bad, আপনি kind of have to dig deeper to figure out what it is that made them want to do that thing. I just think it’s interesting to be able to understand someone who is so different from me.
17: How did আপনি prepare to play Clove?
IF: I actually wrote a back story for her, like a biography. I had to stick to the book as much as I could because the book has such a huge অনুরাগী base and I’m such a huge অনুরাগী of the book as well. I wrote about where I thought she came from, her family and how she might know Cato and other people in the Games.
17: Are আপনি Team Peeta অথবা Team Gale?
IF: Team Katniss. I relate to her so much.
17: What was your পছন্দ scene to shoot?
IF: The feast scene, when I attack Katniss. I got to do all my own stunts, so it was very cool to be able to put all of my training to the test. At the end of the day, Jennifer Lawrence and I were like, “Oh my God, I’m so tired!”
17: It sounds like your actual training was very similar to tribute training.
IF: It really was! We had to really be good at our own craft, so I did a ton of ছুরি throwing and combat.
17: Did আপনি think about your face when আপনি filmed fight scenes? Did আপনি want to look cute?
IF: I probably look ridiculous, but that’s a good thing – I’m supposed to look crazed and rabid. I think that worked.
17: Did আপনি keep any mementos from the set?
IF: I wish! Although, I did learn how to flip a প্রজাপতি knife. But প্রজাপতি knives are illegal in California, so I can’t exactly get one to practice.
17: What are আপনি going to do to celebrate the movie coming out?
IF: Everyone in the cast is going to see it together. We'll surprise some অনুরাগী at the movie theater!
