Peeta blazed the trail, and now it's catching fire.
Following in the footsteps of their Hunger Games costar Josh Hutcherson, Jennifer Lawrence, Woody Harrelson and Elizabeth Banks ditched the dystopian universe for some time with dolphins.
During three separate visits to Atlanta's Georgia Aquarium last month, the actors, in town filming Hunger Games: Catching Fire, were treated to exclusive meet-and-greets with marine mammals.
On Oct. 14, Lawrence donned a wetsuit to swim with whale sharks, manta rays and zebra sharks at the Journey with Gentle Giants exhibit. While she was instructed not to touch the creatures, she swam the perimeter and got up close and personal with several whale sharks.

Electrifying!
Alicia Silverstone and Woody Harrelson both experienced the magic of David Blaine's Electrified: One Million Volts Always On in New York City this weekend.
Operating on no food or sleep, wearing a chainmail bodysuit and surrounded by over one million volts of electricity (with Intel Ultrabooks controlling the voltage), the illusionist defied death by undergoing electric shock treatment for three days at Pier 54.
Silverstone and Harrelson both brought their significant others to witness Blaine in person.
"They had an incredible time and stayed for a while watching David interact with the crowd," a source tells PEOPLE.
Harrelson couldn't get enough of Blaine's latest performance.
"He said it was a stunning experience and he came back three more times throughout the weekend," the source adds.

Independent Spirit Awards 2010
Gabourey Sidibe: From $2 a Day to Independent Spirit Awards Win
Originally posted 03/06/2010 01:30AM
Who knew how far $2 could go? Gabourey Sidibe's mom, who used to pay her daughter that amount each day to attend school, does now.
"I saved up my money for a week so I could see Welcome to the Dollhouse," Sidibe, the Independent Spirit Awards' best female lead winner, said in her beaming acceptance speech Friday night. She excitedly explained that it was the first film that made her think: "I could do that." A notion that gave birth to her own independent spirit and an Oscar-nominated performance in her first film, Precious.
Her costar Mo'Nique credited their "low-budget, independent film's" leaders for teaching her how to bring her A-game and score yet another trophy this awards season for best supporting female.
But it wasn't all about the best feature film of the year, Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire. Crazy Heart star Jeff Bridges continued his winning streak for best male lead, exclaiming to his wife that his Spirit award trophy would "really tie the room together!" He explained to PEOPLE after that it was his "little
nod to The Dude."
