Jennifer Lawrence Covers Vogue's September Issue

It has arrived! Photos, interview and behind the scenes video from Jennifer Lawrence's September Vogue cover issue! Scroll down for the LONG interview.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whether lighting up an indie or fronting a blockbuster franchise, Jennifer Lawrence is the most electric talent to hit Hollywood in a generation. Jonathan Van Meter meets America’s favorite heroine.

Leave it to J.Law to choose the Odeon, a restaurant she plucked from a list because she liked the sound of its name. It opened on a corner in Tribeca long before Lawrence was even born and defined a genre: Execute everything perfectly, but don’t take it all so seriously—an apt description of Lawrence herself. Indeed, Odeon has lasted for 30 years because, while it cares about great service and good food, it is committed above all else to being fun. In fact, I myself had so much early-nineties fun there that when I walked in at 1:00 p.m. on a Friday and sat down, I had a reaction that can only be described as Pavlovian: I ordered a vodka.

Katniss Everdeen Among Time's Magazine's 10 Terrific Teen Heroines

Time magazine has compiled a list of their Top 10 Teen Heroines on film and, no surprise to us, Katniss Everdeen was among them. From Time:

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence)

You’d think the Team Edward vs. Team Jacob debate would have given way to Team Bella vs. Team Katniss. After all, the Twilight heroine has now been supplanted in the popular imagination of young readers and moviegoers by the forest gladiator of Suzanne Collins’ trilogy. It’s probably not a fair comparison. Still, Lawrence’s dynamic warrior seems to have a built-in edge over Kristen Stewart’s passive, curiously blank vampire bride.

Katniss is not only a skilled fighter, but she’s also a canny manipulator – of potential beau Peeta, of the bread-and-circuses media, and even of the politicians of Panem. She’s selfless and compassionate, whether she’s taking her kid sister’s place as a draftee or mercy-killing a wounded opponent. Still, she’s only 16 and doesn’t yet know her own heart, which makes her flawed enough to be relatable.

Where did Lawrence get the steely resolve needed to play her? (Her Oscar-nominated performance as a teen protecting her rural family from scary meth dealers in Winter’s Bone offers a clue.) Her Katniss may display a hint of liquid-eyed guilt or remorse at having to take an enemy down, but she’ll still do it, quick as an arrow.

Jennifer Lawrence #2 on Forbes Highest Paid Actresses List

Forbes has just published their annual list of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. Jennifer Lawrence comes in at #2, behind only Angelina Jolie. To compile the list, Forbes talked to agents, managers and other in-the-know folks to estimate entertainment-related revenue for each celebrity between June 2012 and June 2013. 

Jennifer Lawrence

$26 million


Hollywood's new It girl walked away from 2012 with an Oscar for Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook and one of the top-grossing movies of the year with The Hunger Games. Lawrence was paid under $1 million for the first Hunger Games movie but Lionsgate was happy to pay more to secure her for the second installment: Catching Fire. As Katniss, Lawrence has shown that action heroes don't always have to be played by men for a film to turn a profit.

PopSugar caught up with Catching Fire's Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Willow Shields and Francis Lawrence at the press line for the movie at Comic-Con. Lawrence spilled on the "complicated" relationship her character has with Peeta and Gale, the scene she's most excited for fans to see, and, oh yeah, something about a wedding dress! Josh actor joked about the funniest people on set (besides Jennifer Lawrence, of course) and the Catching Fire scene he's most excited for fans to watch. Hint: it involves vicious monkeys. Willow explained what it was like coming back to the cast, including the surprising reaction she got from onscreen sister Jennifer Lawrence. Shields also let PopSugar in on Prim's biggest challenge going into the saga's second chapter. Director Frances Lawrence is new to The Hunger Games family, but the Catching Fire director says it was easy to get along with the cast.

'Catching Fire' Panel At Comic Con - Breakdown By EW

 

Entertainment Weekly broke down the Catching Fire panel at Comic Con. Here's what they had to say:

The Panel: Stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Jeffrey Wright, Jena Malone, Lenny Kravitz, Willow Shields, along with director Francis Lawrence

Footage Screened: A new trailer (check it out below), which featured a very brief look at the new Arena, newcomer Sam Claflin as your merman boyfriend Finnick,  and several scenes set around the Capitol.

Snap Judgment: In contrast to the gray-grit aesthetic adopted by director Gary Ross for the first Hunger Games, the footage screened from Catching Fire was decidedly more colorful, with sweeping shots of the Capitol and the Victory Tou rof Panem. (In fairness to Ross, Catching Fire is almost certainly benefiting from that sweet sweet sequel cash.) The film certainly looks impressive, although it’s disappointing that we didn’t get to see much of the new characters.

The Big Revelations: A single shot of Sam Claflin led to loud whoops throughout the crowd. The chatty panel didn’t offer many surprises — turns out Jennifer Lawrence is incredibly charming, have you heard? Lionsgate is clearly sticking to the YA-franchise script with the second Hunger Games movie. (It’s really going to get interesting next year, when the cast and crew try to convince us that they’ve figured out how to turn the incredibly bleak Mockingjay into two movies.)

Most Incisive Audience Question: An attendee asked Lawrence and Hutcherson whether they would have any “hot” kissing scenes. This led to a long story which involved Lawrence — who, lest you forget, is an Academy Award winner and one of the most popular actresses alive on the world today — saying the words, “There was a huge string of snot!”
