"They never met until after they signed off. So, I met them
individually and I just knew that something magical was going to
happen when we put these two together - and it did."

would help it stand up to the box office competition of the new
"Star Wars" film, "Rogue One".
The Jon Spaihts screenplay follows Lawrence and Pratt as they
try to unravel the mystery behind why their 120-year journey to
another planet stops 90 years early, which risks the lives of
thousands on board the spaceship.
"Hunger Games" actress Lawrence said it had been fun working
with Pratt, of "Jurassic World" and "The Lego Movie" fame.
"We met and we became really fast friends. It certainly helped
my on-set life, but I think it really helped our characters and
I think it helped the whole story," the Oscar-winner said.
