They even survived stifling heat, humidity — and bugs! "It was like some weird summer camp," said Jennifer, who plays Katniss, and who got to play hero in real life when someone stepped on a hornets' nest on the set. "I got stung four times in the face, but Jennifer came to the rescue," says Amandla Stenberg, who plays Rue. "She picked me up and ran to the car!"

However, the hardships were totally worth it.
