That was my mindless rant on whatever was on my mind.Now that read it over, I have no idea why I said that.

[Kate]

I understand that. Everyone has times like that.

[Jia]

Yeah, I just had a tracker-jacker moment.

Best. Description. Ever.

[Jia]

Umm, thanks I guess. So anyway, I heard they apparently casted a guy named Wes Bently as Seneca Crane.

Yep! I just saw that on Mockingjay.net

[Taylor]

I have an even NEWER update on Haymitch!

Here you go, Hunger Games fans.

What do you think?

[Jordan]

Just saw the news about Seneca. I'm wondering if he'll get more screen time than he did in the book. (I'm also slightly annoyed that the one day I don't check my computer until...10:41 at night, they announce a new cast person.) Not sure what I think about the Haymitch situation. Maybe. He could work, I suppose.

[Taylor]

I am trying my hardest to have no opinion on the casting til I've seen the film, since I haven't seen most of these actors in anything, ever.

NOOOO
I dont like Woody Harrelson! I want John C. Riely. He would have totally nailed the part :(

[Rebekah Faith]

Waiting on 2 and 10....

I have to say, I imagined Foxface looking slightly more like Annie Thurman (D9 girl) then Jaqueline Emerson- but that's without all the makeup and stuff that'll go to make Jackie look like we expect her to.

[Jia]

I don't really like Woody, he looks like a wrestler or Jesse James. (Sandy Bullock's ex) Not what I imagined.

[kathrine]

Does anyone read the last page of a book before you start it? I do!!!

[Rebekah Faith]

...That'd be a no for me. I read the last paragraph if it starts getting slow, but I never read the last page first- it would ruin the book for me.

[★ Jess]

I never ever do that. But can we please stay on topic?

[Randi]

I don't about Haymitch....................
*slumps in chair* They're probably never going to be able to appease me....

Joel Edgerton's name in the mix, for an unknown role (like Tucci & those other two a week ago?)...hmmm. I can sort of see him as Cinna. The makeup department can make him look the part, and he could cover it acting wise, certainly. I'll wait for more news, but I wouldn't complain to see him as Cinna.

[Jia]

I could see him more Abernathy than Cinna. :/

[★ Jess]

I've changed my mind...I think he is to old for Cinna. But if he slimmed down, and the right make up was applied...
I dunno, there are still better options out there. Somewhere. As long as it's not Stanley Tucci.

[kathrine]

I think Micheal Urie would be a good Cinna....

[Randi]

That could be fun....
(Love your profile picture Scarlett, I had to watch the wedding in a hotel room two days afterward becuase I was in the area affected by storms. It was beautiful)

Thanks!

[Jordan]

We have Caeser Flickerman! Stanley Tucci has been cast, as of today (via the HG Facebook page)

[Rebekah Faith]

I was just about to post that, Jordan. :) Onnly I saw it on mockingjay.net's facebook page. :)

[★ Jess]

ooooh! A big name for a small role?
Does this mean he'll get more screen time?

[Jordan]

D10!

It miiiight.

[Rebekah Faith]

Cato and Clove of 2, You're up next! And then we've got Haymitch and Cinna to worry about.

and it probably does, they wouldn't give a big name like Stanley Tucci a tiny amount of screen time. it'll probably flick back and forth between the Games and Districts/Capitol

[kathrine]

All that's left is D2???

[Rebekah Faith]

Of the Tributes, that is. :)

[kathrine]

:)

[Randi]

Woody Harrelson is cast as Haymitch!
I don't know if I'm cool with that yet, 'cause he's won both Razzies and Oscars and has been in some cool/good movies. But I don't know....

[★ Jess]

:( Hes not Robert Downey Junior! Not please. I would have also preferred John C. Rielly...oh well.

[Jordan]

Aaah, it happened again. I leave all day (California to Oregon, woot) and they announce something huge...

I'm looking forward to/dreading Cinna. He's my favorite. (view spoiler)[I'm still mad at SC for getting rid of him without explanation or backstory...just a "Oh, he's dead". I expected him to triumphantly return and was really sad that he didn't. (hide spoiler)]

[★ Jess]

I know! (view spoiler)[That annoyed me so much...There wasnt even a confirmation he was dead! Just "oh yeah, he might be dead, so lets presume he is and thats the end of that" (hide spoiler)] :/
Anyway, if anyone else wants to rant on the matter, we can do so in the "hunger games" book thread

[Rebekah Faith]

Pssst! Hey guys! We have our D2's now!

It's Alexander Ludwig (not unknown, but not super famous) and Isabelle Fuhrman. I've not looked anything up on her to see what all she's done in the past (like stunt-work, if anything) but I'll do that now. :)

Kinda disappointed with our Haymitch, but I can't truly judge since I haven't seen anything he's been in.

[Rebekah Faith]

EDIT: Here's Isabelle's imdb page- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2265157/

[kathrine]

I don't really like who they chose for Haymitch either!

[★ Jess]

Oh, I like Clove...but not Cato. Definitely not how I pictured him...not scary enough.

CINNA NEXT CINNA NEXT!!!

[Rebekah Faith]

I dunno, I've seen some of Alexander's stuff (Race to Witch Mountain and The Seeker: The Dark is Rising) and he's pretty good. I can really picture him as Cato.

[Randi]

So, I slipped in conversation that Woody was Haymitch to my mom and she kind of had a minor spazz. She went to college with him and was freaking out about how perfect he was.
The best part?
He hit on her the first day of class.

He hi..."

That's so cool!

[Jia]

I heard they were considering... LENNY KRAVITZ for my precious Cinna.

[★ Jess]

Lenny Kravitz for Cinna?
Just no.

[Taylor]

Jia wrote: "I heard they were considering... LENNY KRAVITZ for my precious Cinna."

That... is just not right.

[★ Jess]

The articles say they are considering him, but the studio hasn't released the role.
It might be Cinna, but I personally think its for either Flavius or Darius.
Id love to see Lenny as Flavius :D

[Taylor]

Flavius... Still makes me laugh. Have you read Julius Caesar?

[Jia]

Yes. I was reading it and I was like "Brutus? Cato? Portia? Caesar? Flavius? All THG names! Hahaha!" I got weird stares from my friends.

[Taylor]

I read Caesar first. So I'm going through The Hunger Games going, "Caesar. Caesar. Caesar. Really? Can we borrow from some OTHER Shakespeare for a sec?"

[★ Jess]

Taylor wrote: "Flavius... Still makes me laugh. Have you read Julius Caesar?"

I haven't read any Shakespere yet. I think we study Romeo & Juliet at the end of the year

[Taylor]

Having read Caesar before I read The Hunger Games... The characters totally don't match up. Cinna is both a conspirator and a poet... Portia kills herself by swallowing hot coals... Flavius is just odd...
