Elizabeth Banks Shares What Scene She's Excited to See in 'The Hunger Games'
If case you haven’t noticed, here at Hollywire we’re obsessed with all things Hunger Games. With the release date quickly approaching, the cast of the flick have been nothing less than busy promoting and chatting all about it. Elizabeth Banks, who plays the role of Effie Trinkett, sat down with MTV News and talked about what SHE’S most excited to see when March 23rd rolls around.
"I have not seen much of the arena, so I'm excited to see the actual Games. It's very emotional. We really become very attached to the characters, even Cato and Thresh, kind of the bad guys of the book," she said. "We really are attached to everybody's journey, and so I'm really excited to see how that all plays out."

While the scenes in the arena are going to be the center of it all, Banks admitted that filming the Reaping was an experience that was worth remembering.
"The Reaping is amazing. We get so see a heroine step forward and show herself for the first time and come to life, and it was a really remarkable scene to shoot,” she said. “It was difficult to shoot under insane conditions, about 105 degrees the couple days we shot it. We had all these young kids there dropping like flies," Banks recalled. "It was madness, and it's also the only time we spend in District 12."
Since the film is going to be one of the most highly-anticipated ones of the year, we’re curious what your thoughts are!
