Today's Hollywood is great at catering to the superfan. Whether it's the dedicated following that supports (or argues over) TV shows like "Game of Thrones," "True Blood" or "The Walking Dead," or the comic-book enthusiasts that salivate over every detail of a superhero flick like "Avengers: Age of Ultron," it's definitely a great time to be a pop-culture vulture.

Fans of Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" novels are no different when it comes to diehard commitment, which left Jennifer Lawrence with some pretty big shoes to fill after winning the role of the story's main protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, in the film version of the book series.

"To me, interesting characters are the beginning and the end of an interesting story — or a good movie," the 24-year-old Lawrence tells The Japan Times. Katniss is "a responsibility and an honor to play."
