So, when Jennifer Lawrence was reading "The Hunger Games," who did she imagine playing Katniss Everdeen? Hint: not herself! "I pictured [her] as another face, with a braid," she said during Moviefone's special "Hunger Games" edition of Unscripted. The ever-modest actress has said repeatedly that she didn't even think about playing Katniss in a movie version of Suzanne Collins's best-selling YA book. "That would be slightly narcissistic, anyway," she told Moviefone earlier. While Lawrence wasn't in a Katniss frame of mind, the same can't be said for her co-star, Josh Hutcherson. Find out who he thought should play Katniss while reading the books in the video above. Check back to Moviefone all week for more on "The Hunger Games"; for all your "Hunger Games" needs, click here.
