The Hunger Games

[ComicChick]

i think i read somewhere that Laurie can't (or won't) do it.

RDJ would raise the cost of the budget with what he'd be asking for.

 

[Project862006]

Jefferey Dean Morgan would be a great haymitch

 

[MadVillainy]

Not even budget but I dont think RDJ would do a smaller role like this. Maybe 5 years ago

has anyone made any casting choices for President Snow?

 

[Crockett]

I like the choice for Rue and Thresh, Banks on the other hand Effie eh, we'll see.

 

[Crockett]

has anyone made any casting choices for President Snow?

Here's some of my choices:

Malcolm McDowell
Billy Nighy
Danny Huston
Ray Wise

 

[Jack Bauer]

Malcolm McDowell. Just Malcolm. Don't care what the role is, use him. He's awesome.

 

[Hush]

I still say Oldman as haymitch. For Snow I never really had an actor come to mind.

 

[MadVillainy]

BIll Nighy and Ray Wise came to my mind for Snow

 

[ComicChick]

I like the choice for Rue and Thresh, Banks on the other hand Effie eh, we'll see.

like i said i'd be optimistic if it happens, but she never really came to mind when i thought of Effie.

Leven's a great person and actress. I worked with her in '09, and she kept me sane on set. She's stoked on the project, and though I haven't talked to her about her thoughts on the books, I'd be willing to bet money she's been a fan for a while.

Paula Malcomson cast as Momma Everdeen in Hunger Games

 

[Hush]

Paula is perfect and exactly how I thought Mrs. Everdeen would look.

John Reilly is in talks for Haymitch.

The battle over Swank is only the latest snag to hit Oz, the Great and the Powerful. As this blog just reported, John C. Reilly had been in talks to join the production as the sidekick to the Wizard, James Franco, but is expected to get the formal offer from Lionsgate Films to play a much bigger role: that of Hunger Games winner and tribute mentor, Haymitch Abernathy.

 

[Hush]

That would not be good in my opinion. He is a competent actor but just no, I would hate him in that role.
