The Hunger Games - Part 2

[marvelman2006]

I completely had no idea he was the main baddie in death sentence, his whole performance was so menacing and even his little quirks threw me off.

None of those three are anything like Finnick, to me. They range from mildly handsome, to kind of hot. Finnick is supposed to be pretty.

i see finnick as a beach guy (considering his district and what he can do (nets, etc) who has to be easy on the eye and charismatic as he is a very popular winner and the capital is still crazy about him

as to who fits that? i have no clue

We could just view the Aquaman casting thread and choose from that lot. Pettyfer would be a good Finnick if he had any talent lol. I actually like Armie for the part

When I read the book, I pictured Finnick looking a lot like a much younger Brad Pitt.

 

[marvelman2006]

I just pictured anyone who women would spoon all over but yet come off as deadly in the arena. You know someone who could come into a room and take it over in 3 seconds by everyone paying attention instantly.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I've said this before, but if it wasn't for the fact that his brother is Gale and he is probably busy playing Thor, Chris Hemsworth would be great.

It's not Kitsch, I'm sure everyone is so shocked right now...

When the report broke that Taylor Kitsch in the running to play the dashing, love-sick, oft-nearly-naked Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, I was dubious. While starring in the sure-to-be-a-hit Catching Fire would help brighten Kitsch’s tarnished star power thanks to the one-two punch of John Carter and Battleship, Kitsch is already committed to director Peter Berg’s Navy SEAL drama Lone Survivor. That film will likely be shooting at the same time that director Francis Lawrence is in production on Catching Fire.
If there was any doubt as to whether Kitsch would abandon his close buddy Berg for Finnick’s golden trident, Kitsch himself laid that idea to rest today. When reached by The Los Angeles Times about playing the Hunger Games champion, Kitsch had a typically terse response: “Not going to happen.”
So there you have it. Armie Hammer, Garrett Hedlund, generic unknown dreamboat, the competition just got more intense!

I just finished watching the film, and while entertaining, and faithful to the source, I don't feel the story worked cinematically. One of the strengths of the book was how well written the reality television aspect of the Hunger games was portrayed. You can could easily see how the actions of Katniss and Peeta affected audiences in Panem viewing the games, including their own districts, which is virtually the entire point of the trilogy. This is almost a forgotten after thought in the film. I know they tried, but it simply didn't work, and by extension film didn't work as well. Moreover, the loss of Kantiss's inner thoughts during the games only to be replaced with silence didn't work for me. This was especially evident during her scenes with Peeta in the cave, which was one of the more pivotal moments of the book.

Looks as if Miss Lawrence is going to be getting a nice pay raise for film 2.

Jennifer Lawrence set to recieve 20 times more pay for Hunger Games sequel

The Hunger Games massive success has earned Jennifer Lawrence, not double, but twenty times the pay for the sequel. Picture: Supplied



JENNIFER Lawrence is set to receive a major pay rise for The Hunger Games sequel.

The actress, who turns 22 next week, received $500,000 plus bonuses for the wildly successful first movie.
But The Hollywood Reporter claims that Jennifer will rake in around $10 million for Catching Fire and is in the final stages of negotiating the more profitable deal.
It will include her salary, bonuses and escalators and depending on how well the film does at the box office she is in line to have a much bigger bank balance.
Jennifer’s turn as Katniss Everdeen helped to propel The Hunger Games to a gross of $683.8 million worldwide.
Her deal with Lionsgate is said to have been renegotiated on the back of the franchise doing better than expected and is similar to what happened for the Twilight stars.

Jennifer’s co-stars Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson are also reportedly ironing out new deals but will receive smaller raises.
Production on the second film is set to start in September in Georgia with a release date of November 22 2013.

Its crazy how all these celebrities get millions of dollars for acting. The same thing with professional sports players. Kinda ridiculous. Can't wait to see Catching Fire though.

Meta Golding Cast as Enobaria in ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’; Apply to Be an Extra on the Atlanta Set

Posted on Tuesday, August 7th, 2012 by Angie Han

Just about all the major pieces are now in place for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and not a moment too soon. During yesterday’s announcement that Sons of Anarchy actor Patrick St. Esprit would be co-starring District 12 Peacekeeper Romulus Thread, I noted that former District 2 victor Enobaria was perhaps the last new character remaining to be cast. Today comes news that the part has just gone to Meta Golding, a Haitian-American actress whose previous credits include Day Break, Criminal Minds, and Dark Blue.

But while most (if not all) of the bigger supporting roles are spoken for at this point, there are still plenty of bit parts remaining to be cast. Hit the jump for more info on Golding’s casting, plus details on how to snag a job as an extra on Catching Fire.

The Francis Lawrence-directed second installment of the Hunger Games franchise follows Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) embarking on a victory tour around Panem. As they dutifully make the rounds, they come to realize that a major rebellion against the Capitol is brewing. The story sees them crossing paths with several other previous Games winners, including Mags (Lynn Cohen), Finnick (Sam Claflin), Johanna (Jena Malone), Beetee (Tony Shaloub), and Wiress (Amanda Plummer). A Career tribute, the brutal Enobaria is known for having won in her year by ripping out another tribute’s throat with her teeth.

Fortunately, those interested in becoming extras on Catching Fire likely won’t have to do anything quite so vicious to get in. A casting call has just gone out for extras who can help out when filming begins in Atlanta next month, and On Location Vacations got the info on how to apply. (To clear up any confusion, The Idiom appears to be the working title for Catching Fire.)

That casting announcement was already put up in the official Catching Fire thread. Let's try and keep all sequel talk there so we don't have two threads going for the same thing.

Well I look at this way - movies and professional sports are big profit machines. I'd rather see the money go towards the talent, and not the executives/owners.

Hunger Games’ Trilogy Outsells Harry Potter’s 7 Books On Amazon
By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Friday August 17, 2012 @ 12:54pm PDTTags: Fifty Shades Of Grey, Harry Potter, Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
http://www.deadline.com/2012/08/hun...tters-7-books-on-amazon/hunger-games-trilogy/Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy is now Amazon’s top-selling book series of all time, outselling the seven-book Harry Potter series, the online retailer announced today. That takes both physical and e-books into consideration. Hunger Games achieved its Amazon milestone with three books over four years compared with J.K. Rowling’s seven over the course of well beyond a decade. Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games movie version of Collins’ first book that opened March 23, 2012 took in $407.4 million domestically and anotherhttp://www.deadline.com/2012/08/hun...-books-on-amazon/fifty-shades-of-grey-trio-2/ $277.1 million overseas. The second part, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is slated to open November 22, 2013. The final book Mockingjay will be filmed in two parts. The eight movies based on the seven Potter books grossed $7.7 billion worldwide (unadjusted for inflation or currency fluctuations). Another top-seller planned for movification is E.L. James’ Fifty Shades Of Grey which has three books out, all of which are currently at or near the top of Amazon’s sales lists and all three books occupy the top 3 slots of the New York Times combined print and e-book fiction and paperback trade fiction sales lists. Producers Mike De Luca and Dana are shepherding Fifty Shades for Focus Features/Universal Pictures.

 

[CrypticOne]

I always seen Dustin Clare from Spartacus as Finnick when reading the book.

 

[Sawyer]

Got the DVD today. So pumped to watch it again.

 

[Prison Mike]

I rented it last night. It was okay but I was hoping for more action. The scene where the kids were killing each other when they first got to the arena was brutal but I had hoped there would be more of it.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Not sure why it is ridiculous. It is based on the money people are willing to spend on seeing these people on film.

 

[terry78]

If you don't like it, don't watch them. But that's not gonna happen.

 

[JP]

So, I saw this once in theaters after having just read the book.


Bought it yesterday, and rewatching it, it is MUCH better the second time around. I actually think I love it now.
