Woody Harrelson, on his first meeting with Jen: “I was on my bus, and on my bus I have a yoga swing. Jennifer comes on, and she goes, ‘Hi, Woody, I’m J— is that a sex swing?’ Her first sentence to me.”

JP Morgan media analyst Monica Dicenso predicted that the first Hunger Games film would yield $310 million in profit and the series as a whole will rake in $1.5 billion. James Marsh of Piper Jaffray said the totals could be even higher, with more than $400 million from the first movie and more than $2 billion for the entire series.

Celebuzz: Hunger Games News – ‘Hunger Games’ Star Wes Bentley Talks Additional Scenes (EXCLUSIVE) http://hungergamesfanblog.com/2012/03/celebuzz-hunger-games-news-hunger-games-star-wes-bentley-talks-additional-scenes-exclusive/ http://hungergamesfanblog.com/2012/03/celebuzz-hunger-games-news-hunger-games-star-wes-bentley-talks-additional-scenes-exclusive/#comments Tue, 27 Mar 2012 12:23:19 +0000 amanda http://hungergamesfanblog.com/?p=960

A lot of you saw The Hunger Games over the weekend, so now you know the additional scenes that Gary Ross added with President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and Wes Bentley (Seneca Crane). We talked to Wes exclusively who filled us in on his journey becoming Seneca and why those additions were so vital. How did you get involved in the project?

I knew about The Hunger Games. I heard through the business grapevine that Jen Lawrence was cast in her next movie, and I loved Winter’s Bone, I knew that girl was going to be the next big thing, as an actor. I was interested in what she was doing and it was The Hunger Games. Little did I know my great team was already working on getting me in it! Thankfully so.

The scenes with you and Donald were amazing and give great insight into the Captiol and President Snow. Can you talk about how those additions came to be?
