Hydrogen Magazine's interview with Stephanie Leigh Schlund


Hydrogen Magazine has an interview with Stephanie Leigh Schlund (Cashmere), where she discusses Catching Fire (among many other things!)

HM: Let’s talk about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. First of all, what does it feel like being caught in the eye of this crazy storm, with the fans and the huge success of the film?

SLS: It’s been a wild ride! When I got the role, I had to keep it my little secret until I was announced but nothing could have prepared me for this. It’s been my life for last year solid but honestly, our fan base is amazing. They are so sweet and warm and it’s been such a blessing.

HM: You play Tribute ‘Cashmere’ from District 1. And Cashmere and her brother Gloss (Alan Ritchson) battle Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson’s characters for the title in the 74th Annual Hunger-Games Quarter Quell. Tell me all about Cashmere.

SLS: Cashmere is a mass manipulator who uses her -beauty to get what she wants. She is from District 1 and has been trained from birth to fight, and she is also a natural born killer, so, kind of a double dose. She fears little and that confidence may get best of her. It was great working with Jennifer [Lawrence] one on one. She is Cashmere’s nemesis because Katniss is winning hearts and Cashmere is trying to do the same as she needs votes to stay in the game.

HM: Do you see any of yourself in Cashmere?

SLS: I wouldn’t have very many friends if I did [laughs]! I can relate on a fashion level, but that’s about it!

HM: Most unexpected moment while shooting The Hunger Games: Catching Fire…

SLS: Do you know what it’s like to stare at the back end of a horse for three days [laughs]?

Seventeen Magazine's 10 Secrets from Catching Fire Cast



American teen magazine Seventeen recently featured an article entitled "10 Secrets from the Catching Fire Cast." 

Josh and Jennifer Swapped MAJOR Kiss Spit!

 
"When I watched the playback of the kiss between Jennifer and me, there was this slobber string and it was so gross! In the moment, I didn't realize what was going on."

—Josh Hutcherson, Peeta

 
They Played a Goofy Game!
 
"We had this funny game we used to play on set. I don't even know how it started! Basically, somebody would make the 'OK' sign with their hand and would hold it down real low, and if somebody saw it, they stuck their finger in it. It sounds ridiculous, but it went on the entire shoot!

—Lenny Kravitz, Cinna


What Josh Brought Everywhere
 
"I don't have a good luck charm I bring on set, but I did bring my speaker set! I brought my portable wireless speaker set because I have to have music everywhere."

—Josh Hutcherson, Peeta

How the Tributes Trained
 
"We did a lot of martial arts training. There's a lot of choreography where I'm spinning around and whipping these [knives] and rolling around. It was taxing, but it was a lot of fun!"

—Alan Ritchson, Gloss


 The Costume Lenny Kept!
 
"I kept one thing from the set. There's a leather jacket that Cinna wore in some scenes, and I had to have it. I made sure that it went with me."

—Lenny Kravitz, Cinna


 Peeta's Makeup Prep Routine
 
"It took 20 minutes [to do my face makeup] on days where I had a bad breakout—which happened a lot on set! Covering up my tattoos adds another hour and a half.

—Josh Hutcherson, Peeta


How They Bonded Off Camera
 
"We had a lot of down time on set, so the Tributes and I would all hang out together and watch movies. Alan Ritchson [who plays Gloss] and I shared a trailer, so people migrated toward us. Our trailer always had someone in it!"

—Stephanie Leigh Schlund, Cashmere

 
The Longest Scene to Film
 
"The Cornucopia scene took us weeks and weeks to shoot. It's kind of funny because what could be just five seconds on-screen in the movie probably took us a week and a half to film. For me, it's a month of memories, but some of the segments are going to go by so fast!" 

—Alan Ritchson, Gloss
