Jena Malone “Super Excited” to Play Johanna Mason

Landing a coveted role in Catching Fire is not going unappreciated by Jena Malone, who is set to play Johanna Mason.

“I’m super excited… it’s going to be amazing,” she told E! on Thursday night.  Though she says she has not met with the director yet, reading the books is a task she already had under her belt.

“I read the whole series over a weekend when I had a wisdom tooth out,” she said.  ”I was in bed looking for something to read and my little sister recommended it like a year and a half ago, so she was like, ‘You have to read it! You have to read it!’ And so I’m glad I finally did and I loved it.”
