The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I feel really bad for her. Someone had to have noticed that, right? I mean it's not like that picture is a backyard shot from years ago...it's a publicity shot. Someone should have been all "Ok, we're going to make you look your best, time to get rid of the hair"

She looks like she can definitely pass for Prim in this pic:

Not a bad choice to play Jennifer Lawrence's on-screen sister.

Kim, I so agree. Poor girl. Nobody bothered to tell her. All that hair really distracts you from noticing her gorgeous eyes. I know what it's like to have a jacked up eyebrow. I have a scar on both of my brows so I don't do them myself because I'd more than likely mess them up (have done). I usually get them threaded, but sometimes I forget to go. lol

Yeah, I think she'll be fine on screen.
It's just unfortunate that someone wasn't looking out for her image. I mean, I know it's not the end of the world, but for someone who wants to be in the public eye, it's a very big deal. I just feel so sorry for her, that she's being scrutinise so much when it was something that could have been avoided.

I know Cinna is supposed ot be a lot younger, but for some reason this is the guy I've always pictured. Stanley Tucci. The moment he came in in THG, he popped into my head. As for who I'd like to play Cinna, I've never really thought about it. In fact I've never really thought about the casting of THG too much other than Katniss.

So far I'm only okay with the tributes from the other districts. I'm not satisfied with anyone else.

Elizabeth Banks has officially been cast as Effie!!

I think she'll be great, even if she wasn't exactly what I pictured.

I don't think I've seen her in anything. At least i can't think of anything off the top fo my head. Several of the other no name districts have been casted. I'm letting all my worry go. Truth is, we won't know how the mvoie will turn out until we see it. So I'm not going to worry about it anymore. I'll just be glad when we start seeing photos of everyone as their characters and even more excited to see clips and trailers. but we still have 11 months until the movie comes out : /

I like Elizabeth Banks. I've seen her in Definitely Maybe and she was a pretty good actress. She reminds me of Rachel McAdams.

Fantastic cast so far. Waiting for Haymitch and Snow.
Hoping for Bill Nighy for Snow. I don't have anyone for Haymitch in mind.

Apparently I have seen Elizabeth Banks in quite a few movies but I only vaguely remember her. Oh well, she does look like she'll make a good Effie.

And Kim, she does look a little like Rachel McAdams.

Omg!!! Stanley Tucci is going to be in the Hunger Games movie!!! He'll be playing Caesar Flickerman. Stanley Tucci is awesome.

I hope they cast Cinna next.

LOL I love him. It's funny cause I always pictured him as Cinna. I know Cinna is a lot younger, but he's who popped into my head the first time I read THG. I tink it's awesome that he'll play Caesar

Now, I am really curious as to who will play Cinna.

I'm glad they're casting more than just the tributes at the moment, but I really want them to get to Haymitch. I mean, we got Katniss, Peeta and Gale really close together, but the only other main person we haven't really got to yet is Haymitch. I really want to see Cinna too, but I think Haymitch is more important.

Haymitch may be more important throughout the entire series... but Cinna's really only in the first two books and as a relatively minor role... whatever, I just like him better. lol I'm really hoping they don't cast Robert Downy Jr as Haymitch though. I can't stand the guy. House... maybe, though I think he's probably too old.

But Stanley Tucci!!! *squeals* I have to respect anything Stanley Tucci is in. He's such an awesome actor. I can't wait to see what he does for Caesar Flickerman.

I have no idea who has ever been rumoured for Haymitch's role. I thought the choices of Robert and House were just cast suggestions. But anyway, I really want him to be cast already.

Robert as Haymitch? blech...I like him in Iron Man but can not see him as Haymitch. Anyways, I want them to hurry up and cast Haymitch too, but i'd rather them take their time and find the right actor rather than rush and choose the wrong one. I

Oh yeah, I'd rather they didn't rush either, but I want them to get the main characters done before getting too many of the extras set up...there should be a priorities list, and Haymitch and Cinna need to be at the top now.

I agree, but I guess the extras are easier to cast than the main characters which is why so many of the nameless tributes have been casted. They only have Districts 2 and 10 to cast now. I'm curious to see who will play Clove and Cato.

I don't really care about Clove, but I curious about Cato too.

Speak of the devil...Haymitch has apparently been cast. Woody Harrelson is Haymitch. I haven't found any official reports though, but IMDb has a lot of new articals saying he's been cast. I've only seen him in Zombieland and I actually don't remember much of his role in it, so I hope he's good.

Ditto. I didn't particularly like Zombieland... or Woody Harrelson. He isn't what I pictured for Haymitch... but I guess we'll see.

ok, have seen official reports now, so he's definitely Haymitch.
But I guess it's like everyone else cast, We won't really know what they're like until we see them on screen playing their part. He has to have been picked for a reason.

I wanted to be wowed by whoever they picked. I don't really feel bad about Woody, but I don't feel overjoyed or excited either, so just have to wait and see.

Ok, double posting. I just watched this clip of Josh Hutcherson showing his support for gay relationships. And the way he smiles at the end of a few sentences made me smile too...I can totally see myself crushing on him as Peeta now. He whispers the word 'Ever' and someone made the comment that 'ever' could easily be turned into Peeta's 'Always'

Check it out, it was pretty cute.

I dunno... I still only see Little Manhattan whenever I look at him. I don't think he'll make a bad Peeta though. I just won't be fangirling over him as I'd hoped to. lol

I've never seen Little Manhatten, so I can't see him as that. I reckon he's got enough charm in him to be Peeta.
