It comes as no surprise that 25-year-old Jennifer Lawrence is 2015's highest-paid actress, banking $52 million pre-tax. That's about $16.5 million more than Scarlett Johansson, who earned $35.5 million, according to Forbes.
Of course, this is with the new ranking system from Forbes, which, for the first time, ranked the highest-paid leading ladies to a global list with broader valuations. Only one non-American made it to the Top 10 -- Chinese actress Bingbing Fan ranking fourth with $21 million.
For Lawrence, however, the film franchise that catapulted her to stardom is nearing its end, with the second part of "Mockingjay" slated to be released in November.
Fans of the dystopian adaptation are all excited, but Lionsgate unfortunately made a boo-boo that got people talking about the franchise -- in the form of an unpleasant word that made its way to the poster. An oversight, really, but one that fans managed to zero in on.
News Australia noted that the photo has quickly been deleted, but as it is with the cyber world, someone managed to catch a screenshot. Check it out here -- and if you don't see it right away, it starts with the last 0 from 100 -- making the 4-letter expletive very visible on Lawrence's painted face.
It's less than 100 days before the film release, and director Francis Lawrence spoke about how different the final film is from the last. In an article by the Movie News Guide, the director explained that "Mockingjay: Part 1" is more about propaganda and media manipulation. For instance, the film relied mostly on human psychology and trauma.
On the other hand, Part 2 is about a war between protagonists and antagonists, and has aptly been called a war film. The trailer for the film showed Jen as Katniss leading supporters in battle, complete with explosions, weapons and crumbling landscapes to fight monsters.
It's the final film for the core "The Hunger Games" franchise, but fans need not say goodbye, as there lives a possibility that the franchise will extend to other movies (or even TV shows) after the release of "Mockingjay Part 2." Movie Pilot noted that Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer is planning on expanding the franchise -- including the possibility of a theme park.
There's not a lot of news on that end, but until then, you can catch Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Banks and Woody Harrelson on "Mockingjay Part 2," which will be released in theaters on November 20, 2015.
