The Hunger Games!
I don't like D4's. But they're killed off, so I'm good.
Why don't you like the D4's?YAY! We have our Effie!
Mod
Stanley Tucci? Linked to Cinna? I certainly hope not.
He's a MAGNIFICENT actor, though he is not anyone in THG.

Yup. It was a birthday present..."
I want a nook or kindle!!!
Jia wrote: "Well the ones for the movie."That's what I mean. Why?
District 5 has been announced.
Chris has done stunt work and it looks like Jackie is brand new.
I was just gonna post that was have a Foxface. :)And most of the kids are either new or have done stunt work, which is nice- and we'll probably get some really sweet tricks.
Mod
I don't like who they chose for Foxface.......... not sneaky enough!!
Scarlettshea- I'm not trying to be mean (and I'm sorry if this comes across that way), but the casting crew (for the most part) knows what they are doing. And they can add make-up and other things to her once they start shooting to make her look every bit as Sneaky as she needs to be.
Mod
Emerson doesnt look sneaky enough in that photo, though you need to take into consideration that she is wearing very little-if any- makeup.
I cant wait for this movie! I am content (if not thrilled) with all the actors in this, save Liam Hemsworth. It actually gives me something to look forward to after Harry Potter ends. It will never replace HP, but its being released at a fantastic time.
How many people here think President Snow will be cast soon-ish, or MUCH later on?
I know its very unlikely, but I would love to see Sam Niel in the role:
(Granted, a lot of makeup would be required)
Also, is there any chance that we will see the district's mentors in the film? If so, that means we may need actors for Finnick/Johanna. I know its 99.9% chance we wont see this casting for more than another year, but I cant picture anyone apart from Iam Sommerhalder as Finnick, or
Mila Jovovich as Johanna.
You link for Iam takes you to the goodreads home page. ;)He could be a good Snow
This is Ian Somerhalder. He's beautiful. :)
Hahah, he is. Okay, I remember a picture being posted earlier in this topic. :)
Yep. We've been talking about him as Finnick since the beginning...
UPDATE ON HAYMITCH:Word has it that John C. Reilly has backed out of Hunger Games talks... Idk if this is mere rumour right now, but here's my source.
Mod
I didn't like him at first, but as soon as I got over the fact that hes not RDJ, I warmed to him and loved him.
ThTs the only article I've seen on the matter, so maybe it's not official yet :/

Yeah, but I wasn't going to flip out he was Haymitch, I would prefer someone else, but I couldn't get over the fact that he was usually a comedy actor...

Taylor wrote: "Yep. We've been talking about him as Finnick since the beginning..."I thought Finnick was only in Catching Fire????
He is, but he makes a sort of cameo in Hunger Games when they talk about the mentors.
Yeah, i sorta remember that....I need to reread these.....And since I have been staying away from the library for the present so that I can read other books- like the ones I own and that I can only get from my friends.
I need to stop getting new books and start reading ones I already have...
Hhaah, same, that's why I haven't check a book out of the library since before Spring Break. :)

Stunts are good.

mee too. I'm gonna have to break it what with The Throne of Fire being out today... but I'll hopefully be able to stay away for another portion after that since I have more I need to read...
Stunts are really good.
D7 is up! Sam Ly and Leigha Hancock. Neither of them appear to have an IMDb profile. (Picture here, if you don't have Facebook)
They are really cranking the tributes out!
Indeed. We're just waiting for 8, 9, 10 and 2 (Cato and Clove).
Yep! and then the non-tributes like Haymitch and Cinna....
Taylor wrote: "He is, but he makes a sort of cameo in Hunger Games when they talk about the mentors."Oh....
Darn it, I want a Haymitch. All the tributes are lookin' good though :) I really like Foxface
I don't. And I don't like the D7 Tributes.
Jia, I'm wondering what you have against almost all of the tributes, all you seem to be saying is that you don't like them- you never give a reason why.
A video of Leigha (D7 tribute) doing stunts showed up on the Hob. I'm impressed. (You can see it here. I'm kind of dizzy after watching her flip so many times.)
I am very impressed. A competitive gymnast-turned stunt girl-turned actor. I hope that we'll be shown the Tributes' ratings- we'll really get to see some sweet stuff with stunt work there. :)Now we're just waiting on the Tributes from 2 (Cato and Clove), 8, 9, and 10.
Okay, you know why I'm a pessimistic person. I am the devil's advocate. I just don't like them. Just the way they look, and you know what I do my research. I watch their reels, but I just don't like how they look, call me superficial, but yeah. I'm judgmental. Things have to look remotely close to what I expect for it to be considered decent in my mind. Okay, that's just how I work. It's my way or no way at all. You know what, there are two groups that switch back and forth on, on the same topic this movie, so I get confused sometimes. Okay, there's just too much stress in my life to handle these things. The first thing I type will stay that way. Okay? I mean this is not going to please 100% of all people. I am just in minority here, I hate a lot of things, you know? I just don't like them. Okay? There's a reason, but i can't put into words that others can understand. Your can call me crazy, whatever, I've heard it. I hate, a lot.I've starting hating this movie since the day they started fancasting. I just don't want this movie to happen in the first place. I knew it wouldn't live up to my expectations, and it hasn't at all. Will a little tribute do a flip in the fight to the Cornucopia? No. And if I remember, both of the die on the way there. Good riddance. Will I go see this movie? Probably. Will I like it? Probably not. Do I have problems? Yes. Do I care? No.
No one was accusing you Jia. Rae was just wondering about your opinion because it is, as you said, in the minority.
Thanks Kate, and that's exactly what I was doing.Districts 2, 9, and 10 to go!

Yup. It was a birthday present last year. I still love real books, but the nook is easier to carry around.
