“My coworker Jo and I would be up until 2am going through the script and cross references with the original movies.”

Mckenna Grace has shared another glimpse into just how deeply she and Joseph Zada immersed themselves in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.

Speaking to SiriusXM Hits 1, McKenna explained that the prequel does not simply repeat the world audiences already know. Suzanne Collins reintroduces familiar characters at a younger age while reinventing events such as the Reaping, the chariots and the Games themselves, making every familiar element feel unpredictable again.

She also revealed that she and Joseph would stay awake until 2am, despite having 6am call times, writing notes in the margins of the book, studying the script, cross referencing the original films and discussing scenes they wanted to bring into their performances.

Can one of the admins contact me about an issue I am having with my community?

I am the sole moderator of a tiny community which I really love. However, I am experiencing problems with my main account and I had to do the appe-l. I can still see the moderator tools, but I cannot approve posts or comments, send moderator invitations, etc. The interface tells me actions were completed, but they do not take effect.
Can an admin contact me, please? I want to make sure I will not lose the community and that it won't appear as if it has been abandoned while my account appe-l is pending. I even tried to add this account of mine as a moderator, but I am not able to. Thanks in advance! (Desktop/iPhone)
