A brunette Jennifer Lawrence appeared on David Letterman’s show on May 19 to talk about her upcoming movie, X-Men: First Class. A little more than halfway through the interview, Letterman asked her about The Hunger Games and showed the Entertainment Weekly cover. Jennifer explained just a bit about the premise of the movie calling it “a very violent, futuristic movie where kids are randomly selected from their home districts to fight in an area to the death.” She did make sure to point out that the characters do not drink blood.

The full clip is below and you can hear her talk about Hunger Games a little past the 4:00 mark. However, the whole interview is actually pretty cute. Jennifer has a fun sense of humor and presented herself really well, clearly endearing herself to Letterman. A far cry from the awkward Twilight interviews we have seen Kristen Stewart do!

Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss in Hunger Games

For those wondering whether Jennifer Lawrence will be believable as Katniss in The Hunger Games movie, look no further. Entertainment Weekly has released the first images as Lawrence in the lead role of the dystopian young adult novel. EW was granted an exclusive interview with Jennifer Lawrence (brunette in the picture above) as she prepares for Hunger Games filming in North Carolina.

The interview with Lawrence as well as more photos and a guide to other characters in the film will appear in Entertainment Weekly on stands this Friday.

What do you think of the picture of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss? Is it what you pictured when you read the book? Does it do the book justice? I have to say that I am hopeful based on the photo. Although it is not what I pictured for Katniss (I was thinking she would look younger), I do think that it could work. I am anxious to get my hands on the magazine and see the rest of the pictures.
