With strong turns also being offered from such celebrated character actors as Lynn Cohen, Amanda Plummer, Jeffrey Wright, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, we're sort of spoiled for choice when it comes to contenders for a Catching Fire MVP. (We're big enough to admit when we are wrong.) Plus, newcomers to the franchise are earning lots of well-deserved praise in their own right, including Jena Malone-who nailed every aspect of the fearless rebel Johanna Mason-and even Sam Claflin who we'd assumed would be a total dud as Finnick. Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson once more lend her solid support as the two prongs of her love triangle, and her infuriating mentor. But, it was fine.”īut despite the difficulties of opulence and over-the-top kaleidoscopic glamour, there is one thing that Banks is most excited about.Of course Jennifer Lawrence is again captivating as the stern survivor Katniss Everdeen.

My lunch hour was a full 10 minutes of eating, and that’s it. I was like, ‘There’s no one to eat with! I just got here!’ It took me 25 minutes to get in and out of my costume. By the time I got to the lunch line, everybody was back in their trailers, done with lunch. I had ladies-in-waiting that did everything for me. Designed to match each outfit and occasion, they are deliciously long and as I surmised and Banks confirmed, very problematic when it comes to functionality. One of the interesting focal points in Effie’s look are her fingernails. Gary is really fucking brilliant about that stuff.” That’s Katniss’ thing, at the beginning of the movie, and you don’t want Effie stepping on it too soon. I thought, ‘The fans are gonna die if she’s not in a green suit at the Reaping.’ And we had a green suit that I didn’t end up wearing because once we looked at the color pallette of the day and the background and everything, that fuschia was better. I was really nervous because, in the book, has pink hair and she wears a green suit to the Reaping. But, for the Reaping, it was very specific. Once we’re in the Capitol, then it was whatever I wanted to do.

Not just in the way that she dresses, but in her attitude.My looks get a little more outrageous, as the movie goes on. She represents the Capitol, in every way. I really wanted her to be three-dimensional. We looked at Kabuki, a lot of Christian Dior, Marie Antoinette, all these crazy adornments, and just really crazy, cool stuff.”ĭespite the opulence and over-the-top persona and appearance of Effie, Banks “ever wanted Effie to be a clown.

She had reference boards all the way around the room, and it was great. She has one of those dress forms of me, which is weird, in her studio.

I want to show you what I’m looking at.’” As testament to Makovsky’s vision and talent, “All of costumes are handmade.

Once Makovsky was on board, “She called me immediately and said, ‘Come to the studio.

Gary’s one real note was, ‘I imagine Joel Grey in Cabaret for her face.’ That was our jumping off point, and why we ended up with the rough skin and the gnarliness of that.”įortunately for Banks, Judianna Makovsky, who did the costumes on Seabiscuit in which Banks stars, was called on again by director Gary Ross, this time to bring the world of Panem to life, with Effie being one of the design showstoppers. Who the hell knows what’s going on? So, I really wanted her to be ageless. I imagine, in the future, life expectancy is long and they use crazy plastic surgery. I never knew how old she was, in reading the book.
