Watch the full video interview now at CNN.com\/Watch (or on the CNN app) and on Variety’s YouTube channel starting at 11:59 pm ET.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tJosh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Banks first met making the first four \u201cHunger Games\u201d films, from 2012 to 2015. While Banks wasn\u2019t present for the action sequences Hutcherson shot in the Hunger Games arena, they struck up a friendship. When the franchise began, Hutcherson, then 19, was a former child actor (\u201cZathura,\u201d \u201cThe Kids Are All Right\u201d), and Banks, then 37, was a well-known character actress (\u201cSeabiscuit,\u201d \u201cW.\u201d). Both also stood out this year for taking on roles as partners in complicated relationships. On \u201cI Love L.A.,\u201d Hutcherson is Dylan, the relatively sane, grounded boyfriend of Rachel Sennott\u2019s zany aspiring talent manager, Maia. And on \u201cThe Miniature Wife,\u201d Banks plays a writer who is quite literally shrunken down by her scientist husband, played by Matthew Macfadyen.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
