Hunger Games Director Gary Ross: Jennifer Lawrence Is a “Once a Generation” Talent

Don’t stare at this dress too long. You might get seasick!

With more than a month still left until The Hunger Games hits theaters, we’re ravenous for more details about the movie. Fortunately, director Gary Ross recently sat down with MTV and threw some delicious scraps about what to expect our way.

As hoped, Jennifer Lawrence’s performance will be one to remember. “She is so good, it’s silly,” said Gary of the Oscar nominee. “Seriously, I just want to write her parents a thank-you letter for creating [her].” He even went so far as to proclaim, "Once a generation, you find this kind of talent." Quite a compliment, right?

The praise parade continued when he was asked to choose her best scene. “I’m not being coy in this answer; it’s really hard for me to say...  The commitment Jen has, the bravery, the incredible control over what she's doing, she's just remarkable." Thank goodness she was the one to win the role!

And that settles it. We’re buying tickets for the midnight showing on opening day. Who’s with us?
