00:04 This is nuts. This is like a huge function.
00:07 So that's really cool and I don't know, I think the movie is really deserving of that
00:12 and everybody who's here who worked really hard on it, they deserve to celebrate.
00:16 So Tigress is Coriolanus' cousin and they have grown up in the capital together
00:22 and sort of been each other's caretakers.
00:24 And yeah, that dynamic has kind of lasted from childhood up until where we meet them now.
00:32 Well, I think under the guise of this really cool kind of dystopian sci-fi world,
00:39 there is something really deeply human that Susan Collins kind of infuses into her stories.
00:45 And I don't know, I think if there's any sort of mission or something to take away from it,
00:50 the delivery of it through the sort of fantasy world might come across easier to people
00:56 than the harsh reality of some of what the stuff is talking about.
01:00 So it's pretty cool.
01:02 I mean, it kind of takes me a minute to understand that this really cool thing is happening to me.
01:08 So I don't think I kind of had the moment until I was there on set doing it.
01:13 But I know that little 12-year-old me, who was a huge fan of the books,
01:18 was losing her mind when I got the role.
01:23 I mean, I think for any fans of the Hunger Games,
01:27 any sort of cravings they've built up over the years will be fed to some degree.
01:32 But also they'll be given something new.
01:34 It's a new sort of flavor that's come out of a beloved original series, you know?
