The Hunger Games! Showing 701-750 of 1,211

[Taylor]

Same! I haven't seen the original in years but we still quote it, so I can't bear to watch even the previews for the new one.

[kathrine]

Russel Brand, aka Katy Perry's husband is soooooooooooooooo Haymitch!!!! Or Johnny Depp....

[Jordan]

Mrs. Everdeen has been cast.


On a side note, is anyone opposed to the idea of putting all official casting in bold?

[Rebekah Faith]

That sounds good to me.

[★ Jess]

Thanks for the update Jordan!
(sounds like a great idea to me as well)

When will we get a Haymitch? He's the one im most excited to see. And Cinna, I want to see him as well.
Im still intent on RDJ. No one else will do.
However, I haven't a clue as to who I want as Cinna

[Kate]

Cinna is a hard person to cast. I'd hate to see them mess it up.

[★ Jess]

Even more so is Haymitch.

[Rebekah Faith]

Yeah, Cinna is really up in the air. They could get almost anyone for him and i would be pretty happy- as long as it's someone who knows how to act.

FIRST TALKS FOR HAYMITCH!!!!!!!!!!
its the guy from 'Step Brothers'
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

[Rebekah Faith]

NO!!!!! RDJ! RDJ! RDJ! or someone else amazing! Johnny Depp?

[Jia]

I don't like him. :/

[Randi]

Johnny Depp and RDJ would work well, but they wouldn't be my first choices. I think Johnny Depp could be Cinna.
Heck, Johnny Depp could be Katniss and I would be happy.
I don't know.

[Rebekah Faith]

Now that you mention it, Johnny Depp would be a pretty sweet Cinna!

[Randi]

I don't like the Haymitch dude in talks. No way.

[Z.]

Don't know much about this supposed Haymitch, so I'm not forming an opinion quite yet.

[Kate]

That's true, Johnny Depp could be Cinna. I never thought of that, but he'd probably be great.

He could still be Haymitch though. This guy, however, well I'll be good and not get a full-out opinion yet, but I'm doubtful

[Rebekah Faith]

And we probably won't find out who gets the role until later since he's such a big role. They had to give us Katniss, Peeta, and Gale first so they did, but they need at least one big character to announce as the last main character. So we probably won't find out Cinna and Haymitch until the rest of the tributes have been cast.

[★ Jess]

No, sorry: Johnny Depp, awesome as he is, does not belong in this movie. Not in any role.

aaaand, Ive been mulling it over...John Riely MIGHT be able to pull off Haymitch. MAYBE.
At least hes a lot better-in my opinion-then other namse Ive seen thrown up. CoughRussel BrandCough

http://www.bigshinyrobot.com/reviews/...
Looks like its serious...Im starting to warm to him, actually.
At first I didnt like him because of his reputation in 'crude' comedies (i.e Step Brothers & Talladega Nights), and also since hes not RObert Downey Junior.
However, he could do justice to the roll, as soon as we forget about RDJ & Hugh Laurie.

[★ Jess]

Here is the official cast so far:

Katniss Everdeen........Jennifer Lawrence
Peeta Mallark............. Josh Hutcherson
Gale Hawthorne...... Liam Hemsworth
Primrose Everdeen...... Willow Shields
Mrs. Everdeen......... Paula Malcomson
Rue.......................... Amandla Stenberg
Thresh..................... Dayo Okeniyi
Marvel....................... Jack Quaid
Glimmer............... Levin Rambin

In talks:

Haymitch Abernathy.....John C. Riely
Effie Trinket............Elizabeth Banks

[Randi]

Which I probably will never be able to do hahahh!

[kathrine]

Does Katniss have dark hair in the book? I don't know any of the people who are in The Movie. But its going to be the BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!

[Jia]

Yes, almost black. As Gale, and everyone in the Seam. 'Cept Prim and Mrs. Everdeen.

I think it does. *looks up* "She has fire-red hair, amber eyes and sharp, fox-like features. Foxface also is smaller ..."

I hope they choose someone good and sneaky for Foxface!!!! :)

[Randi]

For some reason I always think of the Avok as a red head and I want Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine to do it, which would be kind of ironic, seeing as she as huge voice :)

[Jia]

Well, Lav is a redhead. I can see Welsh, but I don't know if she can use her body language in a way that would reflect tortured Lavinia.

[Randi]

Just a thought :)

[kathrine]

Ya. Is the movie gonna be all three books in one or separate?

And I hate Josh Hutcherson for Peeta! Peeta has blond hair right? So they have to dye it. AND his smile is weird!

[★ Jess]

Yes, its just the first book being made into a film, so far.

And Josh isnt the best choice, but not the worst, either. It doesnt matter if his smile is weird. Thats got nothing do do with the casting...

[Taylor]

Who knows if they'll even do another movie? If it's anything like Percy Jackson (and I hope to all the goodness in the world it's NOTHING like that), then they'll only do the one.

[Kate]

Yeah, but Percy Jackson is going to have a sequel. I don't know how, but they are.

[Randi]

What the heck?

Ya. Dosnt Katniss kinda like Peeta?

[★ Jess]

...yes. Why?

[Randi]

Scarlett have you finished the books?

[Rebekah Faith]

I thikn she's only on Catching Fire

[Kate]

Or the Hunger Games.

[Randi]

I was about to say.......................

[kathrine]

Im on Catching Fire.... page 315

[kathrine]

★ Jessica ★ wrote: "...yes. Why?"

Well at first Katniss is liking him then she doesn't... and not just in front of the cameras.(I think)

You should definitely finish reading Catching Fire and Mockingjay. You don't want spoilers. *Jedi hand movement*

Scarlettshea wrote: "Ya. Dosnt Katniss kinda like Peeta?"
We only get the books from Katniss' perspective, and I feel like she sees herself differently than others see her. In The Hunger Games, she has to pretend to like Peeta for the cameras, to save their lives. She doesn't ask herself whether she actually likes him, she just does it to survive, like she always does. He already likes her. Catching Fire and Mockingjay deal with the huge question "Was it all just an act?" Maybe it started out that way, but you can definitely see a difference from Hunger Games to Mockingjay.

TLDR? Finish the series. It'll be clear. :)

[natalie]

I can see him as Haymitch, but he's not RDJ.

Yippee!! I finished Catching Fire. I can't wait to read Mockingjay... But im waiting for it from my library. Im number 30!!!! NOOOOOO. Hahaha. The ending was kinda confusing. I get she was the "mockingjay" or whatever, but what was the point that they were trying to keep Katiniss alive? And why did they not finish the Hunger Games and took the rest of the tributes out. I skimmed the las like 5 pages. But the ending is sad.... So can someone elpain the ending to me???

[kathrine]

Im testing a spoiler thing. Im going to choose a random thing for the spoiler.... (view spoiler)[I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES! (hide spoiler)]

[kathrine]

I works..... COOL!!!!

[Jia]

We have a D3. The boy tribute looks like Spock.

[Randi]

I agree, he does! I like the girls face though :)

[Jia]

Yeah, she's pretty. I'm awaiting Foxface anxiously.

Most of that will be explained in Mockingjay. It was supposed to be one of those kind of "Wait, what?!" moments. Don't worry, you're not the only one. :)

Yeah, the boy tribute does look like Spock. I love the fact that they actually look young, meaning it won't all be Alex Pettyfer-esque boys (he's the first one that comes to mind). I also love that they're not casting huge names. Ian seems to be a complete unknown, and Kalia has an uncredited role and played a stunt double a few times. Anybody remember if the D3 tributes were important to the story? I think I'll pull out my nook and check.

Believe it or not, I'm actually getting excited. I have hope for this movie again. :D

EDIT: I believe the boy from D3 was responsible for setting up the mines around the Career's camp.

[Jia]

I'm just hoping they don't cast like models who have never acted for this movie.
