![]() She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives. When 16-year-old Katniss's young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district's female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. However, when her name is called, Katniss volunteers as tribute. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. Prim is randomly selected as the girl tribute that is supposed to fight in the Hunger Games. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Willow Shields was only 11 when she landed the role of Katniss younger sister, Primrose Everdeen, in 2012s The Hunger Games. Lawrence played Katniss Everdeen, a teenager from District 12 who volunteers for the Hunger Games after her younger sister's. ![]() In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts.

Mockingjay: Part 2 is now available on DVD/Blu-Ray and Digital HD.Deadline first broke the news of this casting, the latest in an ongoing explosion of actors joining the upcoming adaptation of the Suzanne Collins novel about a televised battle to the death. Jen looked beautiful while still being an incredible character and doing something epic in the film! So that was kind of my favorites! I really liked filming The Reaping scene, as well as the scene in Mockingjay Part I, when I am in the bunk bed with Jen talking. It’s just visually stylistic! Francis Lawrence, our director, did an incredible job with that take. WS: In Catching Fire, I really loved visually, in the final scenes of the film, where Katniss shoots the bow and arrow into the dome of the arena. MS: With the Blu-ray in stores, do you have a favorite scene, from Mockingjay or from the whole series that stuck with you? I think that it is just another step, and part of the journey that is still continuing. In 15 years, there will be people watching these movies. I feel like the fans are still so supportive and hugely excited about our series, still that I almost think that it will never be over in a sense since fans will watch it forever. I think for me, it still hasn’t hit me that its over. WS: You know, I don’t think its really ending yet still. MS: With the Blu-ray now in stores, does it feel bittersweet to say goodbye to the character again? And then, you can just build on that on your own. Shields was next cast in the science fiction adventure film The Hunger Games in April 2011, her first feature film role, where she was given the supporting role of Primrose Everdeen. And you have the script as well, but to have the backstory from the book is really important. In the film, she portrays a homeless child named Grace. I breezed through them and read them again and again and sort of underlined all the things I felt were important for me to think about for Prim, things like that. Because as an actor, it is more than you could ever ask for to have that material already written and a series of three books already written. WS: Oh no, I mean I definitely read the books over and over again to get my research. MS: How much of the books did you use as research? Or did you stay away from the source material as the movies continued? It was definitely very helpful, but I think she is just a really interesting progressive character, who is kind and caring, but also kind of strong and fearless in the end. So I had a lot of fun with that! It was really challenging, but I also had the books as material to work with, as well as the script. But enough for you to work really hard to figure out how to portray it. As an actor, it was really cool to play her because in each movie, she changed slightly. Willow Shields: I think she is a really well developed character in the series. MStars News: After playing the same role for four movies, what was it that held your interest about Prim? In an interview with MStarsNews, Willow Shields talks her portrayal of Prim Everdeen, saying goodbye to the franchise, interacting with fans and lots more.
