MTV has released a short snippet from their latest interview with Josh Hutcherson, who portrays Peeta Mellark in Lionsgate's upcoming adaptation of The Hunger Games.
"This summer the whole time I spent shooting 'The Hunger Games,' which was an amazing experience," Hutcherson told MTV. "Very exciting, and I can't wait for that to come out"
Hutcherson also talked about the process of auditioning for the role of Peeta.
"For the audition process, I came in the first time and read a few scenes for [director] Gary Ross and [author] Suzanne Collins and some of the other producers involved. Then maybe about a week or so, maybe two weeks later, I came in and did a screen test with [co-star] Jennifer [Lawrence], where I actually read the scenes with her so they could see how the chemistry worked," Hutcherson said.
"Both of them felt really great, but as an actor, you just pick apart every single thing that you do, so for me, I was on pins and needles waiting to find out. And then when I finally found out, my jaw hit the floor. I was so excited."'
Also on MTV, Hutcherson talks about his other upcoming projects and balancing work between bigger budget movies and smaller productions. See the rest here.
MTV says they'll have much more with Hutcherson discussing The Hunger Games next week, so stay tuned!
