Diana Alvarez

A feature length, eight part documentary that covers everything from pre-production to adapting the source novel to casting to shooting to post and marketing. This is an amazing in-depth piece and it's notable how many women were involved in this production, from several Lionsgate executives to novelist Suzanne Collins herself. Jennifer Lawrence talks about her "hypocrisy" in not wanting to do a big budget blockbuster after having devoted herself to indies (despite X-Men, which she seems to discount somewhat). There's also a nice sequence on the strength and weight training the actors went through and the stunts that are so notable in the film, as well as having to dance around the violence implicit in the story due to the planned PG-13 rating the filmmakers were aiming for.

Director Ross, various cast and crew and members of the Met staff discuss how the film took over the famous museum for its version of the gala. The production received unprecedented cooperation from the historically cautious institution, no doubt due in part to the participation of Vogue and its legendary editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour.
