Elizabeth Banks ‘Excited’ To See New Effie In Hunger Games Prequel

Elizabeth, I got to ask last question just real quick. There is a new Hunger Games movie coming out. There’s going to be someone else playing Effie. Just how does it feel for you to kind of know someone else that’s going to be taking over that role? I’m so excited. I’m excited that Effie is getting the due. You know, she’s she was actually a pretty small part of those books and people forget that because, you know, I really wore the hell out of those clothes and brought a lot to the role. But when you think about what was actually what Suzanne Collins wrote of Effie, she just was kind of like, you know, she just was the representative of the capital and the oppression. But in the um, you know, increasingly fascist world we’re living in, she’s more relevant than ever. So I think seeing her story will be fascinating.

Speaking with TooFab’s Brian Particelli, Elizabeth Banks says that “in the increasingly fascist world we’re living in,” her character Effie Trinket is “more relevant than ever” — ahead of a new prequel film revolving around Haymitch’s games.
