While talking to People earlier this month, Rachel opened up about how she is a big fan of the franchise and recalled the first time she had watched The Hunger Games.

‘I went with my sister and my mom to the theater to see it,’ she recalled. ‘The woman next to my sister had never read the books or seen the film before, and when the mutts came out, she started screaming, “What’s gonna happen next?”

‘And it is ingrained in my memory forever,’ she said of the experience and movie. She then added in regards to the prequel that, ‘I hope people in our theaters do it as well.’
