00:00 - Francis, you raised me, whether you know it or not,

00:03 based on just the music videos that you've directed

00:05 and they've created me.

00:08 But one being "Slave 4 U"

00:09 and I just wanna know a secret from the set.

00:12 - A secret from that set?

00:13 - Yeah.

00:14 ♪ I'm a slave for you ♪

00:17 - I will say that I love that video

00:21 and I think it's actually aged really well.

00:23 I really like that song

00:25 and I think her performance in it is great.

00:27 I will say one of the scenes,

00:30 and I don't know if you remember,

00:31 it's in the breathing where they're all breathing

00:32 really heavy and there's like,

00:34 I think there's a moment where she actually

00:35 licks somebody's face.

00:37 And I just remember she was really shy about doing it.

00:42 ♪ All of the time and place ♪

00:44 ♪ Oh baby ♪

00:45 ♪ Don't you wanna ♪

00:48 ♪ Dance up on me ♪

00:49 - So it was like her team and the dancers

00:52 and she knew them and the choreographer

00:54 and everybody was like sort of amping her up.

00:56 But it was, you know, she was shy.

01:00 And so it doesn't look like there's any shyness

01:03 in that video.

01:04 - Yeah, well that was the video that--

01:05 - Yes, that sort of shifted it, but she was shy.

01:08 ♪ I'm a slave for you ♪

01:13 ♪ Oh tonight ♪

01:15 ♪ I'm trying to ♪

01:19 ♪ Like that ♪

01:20 - I have summoned you all here

01:21 for the 10th annual reaping ceremony

01:24 in which we choose two children from each district

01:27 to fight to the death in the Hunger Games.

01:28 From District 12, Lucy Gray Bear.

01:32 - And of course fans of the franchise

01:34 will recognize so many Easter eggs throughout the movie.

01:37 But one of the ones that hooked people from the trailer

01:39 was when Lucy Gray does her curtsy,

01:41 which is a nod to Katniss.

01:43 But my question is, does Katniss the character

01:46 do that now because the Lucy Gray curtsy

01:50 was like this iconic thing that happened in District 12

01:52 during the reaping ceremony?

01:53 - Well, that was actually something that's not in the book

01:56 and it was something that I made up on the day

01:59 and had Rachel do because we're constantly looking for,

02:03 in the making of this, little sort of Easter eggs

02:06 that would excite fans.

02:07 If she does this, then Katniss could have heard

02:10 generations later about this kind of rebellious,

02:13 irreverent act of this woman that was a singer

02:16 and did this sort of bow curtsy at the reaping.

02:21 And it just gives a different sort of meaning

02:23 to Katniss's action.

02:25 - There is also a prevailing theory or theories around

02:27 that Katniss and Lucy Gray could be related.

02:30 What do you think?

02:31 - I say no.

02:32 - You say no?

02:33 - Yeah, I say no too.

02:34 - Not related.

02:35 - I mean, we think--

02:36 - Not related.

02:37 - I mean, there's some also speculation.

02:37 We don't know because, and I love that Suzanne lets you

02:40 kind of have your theories and debate it.

02:43 You know, there is some talk that she might be

02:46 the daughter of Maud Ivory, you know, who's in the band

02:50 and who's like a little fiery blonde, you know,

02:54 who introduces Lucy Gray at, you know, in the Covey

02:59 and that they obviously had a very special relationship,

03:02 but we don't know for sure.

03:05 And, you know, we may never know.
