Move On In

Liam Hemsworth recently opened up about his new film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. Liam reprises the role of Gale in the first part two part finale. Highlights from his interview are below.

On his role in Mockingjay Part 1: “The first two films Gale basically has to watch Katniss go into these games, and watch Peeta go into the games, and is kind of helpless from doing anything. And now in Mockingjay – Part 1 we pick up in District 13, which was bombed years earlier and now has a secret underground base. Gale is a big part of the uprising and the rebellion, and someone who’s had enough of all the abuse and is ready to stop at nothing to take down the Capitol.”

On shooting internationally for the final two films: “Well, we shot in various locations outside of Berlin which were broken down war posts and things like that, and then in Paris there were various buildings that we shot at, some very interesting architecture that will be seen in the film. The specific building in Paris that we shot in and around had a very heavy vibe about it, lots of concrete.”

On his work with the Australian Childhood Foundation: “My dad worked in child protection and human services for my whole life and now works for the Australian Childhood Foundation which is all about preventing kids from being abused, taking kids who have been abused out of their homes, putting in programs to stop that kind of thing… You know, I grew up in a great family and had great parents and was able to have ambitions and big dreams and felt very comfortable at home and it was something that I always wanted for other people, for other kids. The world’s scary enough and if you don’t have a safe, comfortable environment at home. Then it’s not fair.”
