It helps that filming involved intense training. \"We ended up bonding over it,\" says Isabelle Fuhrman, fourteen, who plays ruthless Tribute Clove. \"They would bench-press me as a workout,\" says Amandla Stenberg, thirteen, fan-fave Tribute Rue. \"I was one of their favorite weights!\" And, of course, the girls are all die-hard fans. \"For my audition, my mom rolled my clothes in mud and put twigs in my hair,\" says Amandla. \"When I got to [the director's] nice house, I had to make sure not to sit on anything! \"\n\n \"I read the series thirteen times!\" says Isabelle. \"I said to my mom, '[Auditioning] is like The Hunger Games. I'm going to win and be in this movie.' \""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
