On Twitter, a user named sosyourfacee tweeted, “i hope @ElizabethBanks doesn’t ruin the hunger games for me. really starting to dislike her as of late,” Banks responded: “I know, right?”
In an interview with NYMag, Banks says she thinks the darker tone of the books will be reflected in the movie.
“I think it’s appropriately toned for a PG-13 movie,” she says. You have to remember this isn’t a G. It’s not Disney. The book had a lot of adult themes, but we were very cognizant of making sure that what you’re connected to are the characters, that you understand it’s life or death for this girl. She wants to go back to her family and she wants to take this boy with her. And it’s also the message that you matter, that the act of a single person can set off a revolution. I think we’re seeing that all over the world right now. It’s very timely, and I think it’s such a great message to give.”
We’ll find out how Banks does when the movie opens later this year.
