The Hunger Games

[ComicChick]

Naya Rivera is also interested in the Johanna role. I'd prefer her honestly.

Bell can be Enobaria

 

[Project862006]

The best bet is:

Tucci - Ceaser
Lenny - Flavius
Woody - Seneca

 

[ComicChick]

Jackie Emerson cast as Foxfaceand Chris Mark is cast as the other District 5 tribute. She's a newcomer and he has done minor acting and stuntwork in Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim

Wes Bentley cast as Crane.

 

[Octoberist]

After a decade of a weird career slump, I'm glad Wes is in the film.

 

[Crockett]

Left field choice but I think he will do good.

This was really quick, here's an short interview with him talking about The Hunger Games. http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/popwrap/wes_bentley_GOTQyZsqxEFttqDUshzCkM

PopWrap: Were you familiar with the books before this?
Wes: I was familiar with the books, but I hadn’t read them. However, I have now and I totally can see why everyone’s addicted to them, they’re so good.

PW: What was it about Seneca Crane that made him stand out to you?
Wes: You know, I can't really talk about the script because he's a little bit different in it then he is in the books. But he is absolutely an interesting character, very conflicted – I like playing that. Deciding what choices are good or bad and [in turn] what that means for him.

PW: Although you can't talk specifics, what was it about the script that appealed to you?
Wes: It’s going to be very cool visually and I think it’s such an original idea. It’s different from all the comic book movies. Not to knock them, but "The Hunger Games" just has a whole different vibe to them. I think the fans are going to love it.

I don't mind with Seneca having a larger role in the movie.

I thought he would be Cinna, but this is a decent role for him

 

[Project862006]

cinna would be much younger than tucci

 

[ComicChick]

i can dig it. Tucci

 

[Crockett]

Even with the age difference I wouldn't mind with Tucci as Cinna, but it's a bonus for the movie to have Tucci.

 

[Hush]

Maybe he'll finally get his ****ing Oscar, the man is overdue. Now he prolly won't in this role but I mean what the does guy have to do?

Awesome

 

[Crockett]

He's not the first actor that comes to mind but there's no doubt he'll do great.

 

[MadVillainy]

He's the one choice that I can really get behind. He's gonna be awesome

 

[danoyse]

I can totally picture Harrelson as Haymitch.

 

[Crockett]

Now that I think of it, it's a spot-on casting. Harrelson is a versatile actor and he's going to do great as a drunk but also can sharpen as a serious guy when needed. Now it's just Cinna and President Snow left right?

 

[Project862006]

Cato
Clove
Snow
Cinna

is all thats left to cast to my recollection

 

[Crockett]

I also saw that they need to cast the tributes from District 9 and 10 also but granted they won't have as much of a big role as Cato and Clove. But I'm more curious who they'll cast as Cinna and President Snow. The cast is shaping up good, especially on the ones who are adults.

 

[flash13]

They haven't cast Portia yet have they?

 

[Crockett]

Nope they haven't.

 

[Hush]

Harrelson is awesome, better than Reily in my opinion. This movie is gonna be awesome!

 

[SuperBatman]

Looks like all the Tribune Cast is completed

Alexander Ludwig and Isabelle Fuhrman will play the tributes of District 2, Cato and Clove, respectively.
​

 

[Project862006]

so it is just cinna and his stylists and president snow left i beeline

 

[Crockett]

Just what to point out that the actors they cast as Cato and Clove fit quite well with the book's description of Katniss and Peeta, more so than Lawrence and Hutcherson, not that I'm hating or anything.

 

[ComicChick]

i really like the Cato casting
