If you needed one more reason to go see the newest installment of "The Hunger Games" franchise, it's that legendary actor Donald Sutherland is quite literally singing the praises of young costar Jennifer Lawrence.
The "Fallen" star compared Lawrence to none other than Jesus during an E! News interview.
"When I worked with her, I realized the child was a genius," said Sutherland, who plays President Snow in "The Hunger Games." "She's the right person at the right time in the sense of Joan of Arc or Jesus Christ, any genius, in that sense."
Katniss, Lawrence's character in "The Hunger Games," is the unstoppable protagonist throughout the film, and Sutherland wasn't her only costar with nice things to say.
"She's delightful," said Julianne Moore, who makes her debut in the franchise in "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" as District 13 President Coin. Willow Shields plays Lawrence's onscreen sister, Prim, but Shields said the sister-like relationship has transcended film.
"She's a good sister to have," Shields said. "She's been nothing but wonderful."
