Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I heard that rumor as well Stacia. Hmmm


message 1052: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Hmmm...interesting. Woody is ok. He was great in The Messenger.


message 1053: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I have to say that Woody Harrelson wouldn't be bad and I never thought of him for the role. I can see him pulling it off.


message 1054: by Jaimie (new)

Jaimie (jaimier) | 1275 comments I think Woody would be great - I hadn't thought of him before but yeah he could make an excellent Haymitch.


message 1055: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Okay, so Yay! Stanley Tucci has been cast as the Host of the Hunger Games Ceasar Flickerman. (This is a much better casting.)


message 1056: by Becca (new)

Becca | 1608 comments I LOVE that casting! He'll be a great Ceasar.


message 1057: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I agree! Much better then him as Cinna.


message 1058: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Yay!


message 1059: by Jo (new)

Jo (jowillwrite) | 26 comments I am sooo excited for this film now! I really wanted Bill Pullman to play Ceasar... but I am all for Stanley :-D


message 1060: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Bill Pullman would have been good. But Stanley is a good pick too.

I'm getting excited too. I'm really loving the casting.

I agree....my cousin and I always discuss books and its so funny how we picture the characters so differently!


message 1063: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Woody Harrelson was officially cast as Haymitch.


message 1064: by Julie (new)

Julie I think he'll make a good Haymitch


message 1065: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I do too. Definitely.


message 1066: by Heidi (new)

Heidi This cast is getting me really excited. Can't wait for the movie stills to start coming out!

as long as he's involved, I cannot complain!


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I like him. Good choice.

All of the districts have been cast now, including Cato and Clove.

Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments Did you guys see this interview with Josh on Jimmy Kimmel (it was pre-casting).

He's so adorable. Dye his hair and he's perfect.

http://youtu.be/8QogI_GqBMc

(Really I want to hang out with him after hearing about him camping and stuff like that)


message 1070: by Heidi (new)

Heidi I am a Josh fan so I am excited to see how he looks when they start filming.


message 1071: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Cassi did you see Josh's Spiderman audition on youtube? I think he looked great!

NO!!! I must go see!!!!


message 1073: by Peep (Pop! Pop!) (new)

Peep (Pop! Pop!) I liked his interview, and that clip from the movie was funny. For some reason, I really like that kid. Ok, he's not so much a kid anymore but still. I remember seeing him on Cribs and thinking that he was pretty awesome.

Seems like he's being raised right (or has a good publicist!). I'm glad he got picked.


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I think it's because he's really likable, which is a very Peeta-esque quality. Having watched the interview, I just want to hang out with the kid. When he talked about the roadtrip across the United States, going to Yellowstone, wanting to do real camping without the Internet & technology. If he were a few years older I might have fallen in love lol.


message 1075: by Tracy (new)

Tracy | 14 comments Umm. I didn't picture Peeta or Gale to look like the two guys cast for the movie. Sorry, guys, I was hoping for a more sweet looking Peeta and a dark haired skinny Gale, like in the book. Call me a book purist, but I feel that the characters in the movie should look at least close to the ones in the book.


message 1076: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Tracy I am waiting to see what the makeup crew does for Josh. From some pictures people have posted I am more excited. I am so far indifferent to the Gale choice. We shall see I guess.

I've never seen the Gale choice ever in anything. So I'm completely ambivalent.

I think Liam Hemsworth's only "famous" movie was the Nicholas Sparks one he did with Miley Cyrus.. The Last Song? I have no idea. But his brother, Chris Hemsworth, was in Star Trek and Thor and he's beautiful.


message 1079: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I never watched The Last Song either, so I've never seen him in anything. Which I think is good because I have nothing to judge by.

I actually think that Liam looks alot like how I pictured Gale, just that his hair is a few shades too light. He has the tall lanky build I pictured, just like Josh has the build that I think that Peeta has.

The only things that don't match are the hair colors, and I can get over that.

Yeah, I'm going to look around on the web and see what I can see what the crew is doing to Josh. Thanks for mentioning that they are starting to post Hunger Game pics. I only saw their pics on IMDB where they post a portrait pic.


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments Oh it's not actually filming pics that I've seen but a lot of photoshopping him blonde and it works surprisingly well.

His interview just did me in. He charmed the pants off of me. Only that's a horrible phrase and I am never using it again and I swear I am wearing pants. Sweatpants but totally pants.


message 1082: by Stacia (the 2010 club) (last edited May 17, 2011 10:49PM) (new)

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Here you go Tracy. It's a fan made, since there's no movie stuff out yet. I saw this in another group.




Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments This is the one I saw that I thought looked pretty good.

http://hungergamesmovie.org/874/more-...

But I really don't want them to try to change his eyes. Despite the book description I feel like that always turns into a hot mess. At least it seemed to with Harry Potter.


message 1084: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Amy, that picture looks really good. That is an awesome image!


message 1085: by Kurukka (new)

Kurukka Josh won't be blonde for the movie. While looking for stunts, they specified they wanted a guy with light brown hair. I think it's better that way, I think blonde wouldn't suit him at all. There's nothing worse than a man with very dark hair turning blonde. xD

Anyway, EW is releasing a first pic of Jennifer as Katniss tonight!

Scholastic’s Twitter feed says:

Tonight @ 630pmET, check out ew.com for EXCLUSIVE 1st photos of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss in #hungergames movie–thisweek’s cover of @EW!


message 1086: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I'm kind of glad that they aren't lightening his hair. I agree, it does look tacky.

Yay! I can't wait to see the picture.


message 1087: by Anna (new)

Anna | 7 comments *jumps into conversation*
I always failed really hard to picture Peeta with blonde curls from the book description, so I don't have any problems with Josh's hair. I'm having more difficulties with Liam, especially since it looks like it will take a lot of work to make it look like he has never had a decent meal.

In the end, I just hope the films will be good as finished products, because I think there is a lot of brilliant film material in them!


message 1088: by Heidi (new)

Heidi I don't think anyone here is overly excited about Liam but they seem to be putting a lot of thought into the casting so I have to trust that he is ok. To honest Gale is barely in the books so I am sure his part will be minimal anyway.

Have you guys seen this yet?
I think she looks amazing!

Arphaxad | 335 comments AWEsome! I was feeling pretty pessimistic about the casting, but this is encouraging. They've done really well with her complexion :D


message 1094: by Jo (new)

Jo (jowillwrite) | 26 comments Haha OK, never mind.
She still looks great :-D


message 1095: by Heidi (new)

Heidi See. I knew the hair and make up people would make use feel better!


message 1096: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) That looks wonderful!!! I can't wait!!!


message 1097: by Becca (new)

Becca | 1608 comments She really is pulling off the persona I had imagined, and just in one picture. I'm getting really excited!


Cassi aka Snow White Haggard | 2261 comments I think my exact words when I shared this on facebook were "HECK YEAH THAT'S KATNISS" except that is the edited version of my thoughts.

BUT YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

And I don't care if Peeta is blonde so much as long as he's charming. Hair color is not significant to plot in any major way.


message 1099: by Jessie Leigh (new)

Jessie Leigh (msjessie) This makes me feel better about the cast. Maybe they do have a feasible plan going on here. I think she rocks it as Katniss!


message 1100: by Peep (Pop! Pop!) (new)

Peep (Pop! Pop!) Man you guys are committed to this movie! I don't even care and yet I care, I can't help it. Your enthusiasm is contagious, folks!
