Kaylee~ .......


Emily i searched google images for photoshopped pictures of the lead actors as their characters in the movie. josh hutcherson looks dumb as peeta. jennifer lawrence looks just about right even if most people think shes too old. oh well we'll see


Emily liam hemsworth as Gale looks way creepy and much too old


MizziQ can you give us a link? I want to see them... If not its fine.


Hannah Personally this cast...Is not was I expected or in that sense wanted.


Alice Nay. Theyve screwed everything up.

I don't like the cast.

Nana I'll give each actors a fair chance-
day by day Josh Hutcherson is becoming Peeta for me. He wasn't even the slightest image of Peeta that I imagined when I read the books but by the time I knew it, I'm now referring to the character as Peeta ~Hutcherson.
Maybe it's because of his new blonde hair or the peeta-kindness that seems embarked on his features. idek.

Gale: No, this is a really bad idea.
Peeta: Okay, but not the best.
Katniss: No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clearly the actors just don't fit the characters. Katniss needs a cold, hungry, desperate fire in her eyes, as does Gale. Peeta needs to look nicer and friendlier.

They should've chosen Alexander Ludwig as Peeta!"


I agree!


Celine I hate the casting. I mean, Liam as Gale. Really? I've pictured Gale as a beautiful hunter with brown, medium length hair. And Liam is just the opposite of it all.

And then Peeta. I wanted Alex Pettyfer to play Peeta. Without all his tattoos, ofcourse. I think Josh is a creep.

And then there's Jennifer as Katniss. I don't know. I guess she's not that bad. I mean, first I thought she was horrible, with her blonde hair and stuff, but I think she could possibly play Katniss without me yelling at the TV that she doesn't deserve to play Katniss.

So. That's what I'm thinking about the casting.


Maggie I am happy with the casting.

And I'm thankful Kristin Stewart, Alex Pettyfer or any Fanning weren't cast.

I don't know that they can go wrong when Suzanne Collins has such a hand in the casting and the script. I'm so excited for this movie!

Leslie I get sooooo annoyed how people don't like the cast because they don't look like what they pictured them to look! I would think that people would care more about their acting skills 'cause the casting director can't pop into your head and think, "Oh, so this is how so-and-so thinks the person should look! I'll have to keep that in mind when I'm casting for the role." No!!!!!!! Alex Pettyfer is not as good an actor as Josh and Jennifer was nominated for the Academy Awards best actress! Geez! Sorry I'm ranting about this, but it makes me sooooooooooo angry!!!!

You are awesome. I agree 100%


MizziQ 100% Don't REALLY care. I might ponder whether they should like, dye someone's hair but besides that...


message 75: by [deleted user] (new)

i dont know why but i like josh as peeta. liam as gale not so much or jen for kattniss, well at least until she died her hair and all that


message 76: by Kaylee~ (new)

Kaylee~ osh and gale's characters should switch.

u think so? i dont really like liam that much eh o well, cant do anything about it


message 78: by Kaylee~ (new)

Kaylee~ hmmm.......that's just my personal opinion.

i know, i dont really care much anymore. but i still want to watch the movie, i loved the books well except the end of mockingjay

i got so fustrated with it when fennick and the prim dies i was like "r u kidding me" and then turned out the anna had a baby. i love petta i was so sad at what happened to him :<


message 82: by Kaylee~ (new)

Kaylee~ i was just pissed off in general.

Kaylee Marie Coors wrote: "i was just pissed off in general."

that wasn't a good way to end the seres. i mean this was all about katniss protecting prim and then she dies, really. but i was happy when pres.coin died and pres.snow


message 84: by Kaylee~ (new)

Kaylee~ yah.......


message 85: by [deleted user] (new)

I think you should have waited a few more years, before the did this movie...


message 86: by Kaylee~ (new)

Kaylee~ yep, itotally agree


message 87: by [deleted user] (new)

mmmm, I'm kinda ify on all of them. i think they should swap peeta and gale's actors. Peeta can be a lot cuter though, i mean, come on. i hope these people making this movie does not cut out important stuff or make it cheesy like Twilight! they ruined that for me and i love the Hunger Games far to much for that to happen again. although, I'm satisfied with Katniss


Celine I completely changed my opinion. Jennifer looks awesome, now she dyed her hair. She totally looks like Katniss. Well, as I pictured Katniss. I still have my doubts about the other two. I think they should, like, switch. I don't know. Lindsay changed my opinion.


Lucy it's terrible the whole cast completely sucks and doesn't resemble anyone in the least. the casting people must of been high or drunk to pick these actors and actresses


Nadia Er, thought Cato would be more like Max Adler. The guy playing him doesn't look beefy enough. Also not sure about the guy playing Gale - he just doesn't look right. Katniss' actress, with the dye job, looks more like Katniss now to me.

Woody Harrelson was a no-brainer for Haymitch. If he restrains his performance, I'm good.

Heartbroken about Effie not being played by Kristen Chenoweth - she was the only actor I was *positive* of being cast b/c she was so obviously Effie. The woman playing her looks too young.

But anyone else have a massive "WTH?" moment when *Lenny Kravitz" was cast as Cinna? ::headshake::

I'm willing to give it all a chance, but the Cinna and Effie castings kind of bummed me out.

message 94: by drew (new) - added it

drew The Mayor's Daughter. The one who gave Katniss the pin.


MizziQ got it...thanks...didn't REALLY pay attention till training...maybe a reread is in order... :)


Miranda i love all the casting do far.
peeta is who i imagined in my head. i was like, "hey you know what? josh hutcherson would be an awsome peeta!"
so, yeah, i win!
liam... i hate you. but im starting to think that they picked him because of his jaw line... dont ask.
and i litterally jumped up and down with happiness when i saw the cover of entertainment weekly with jeniffer as katniss.


MizziQ she looks sooooo good as katniss!

1. Haymitch: I've never seen Woody Harrelson act, so that's the doubt. I'm..."


i'm just commenting on your questoning about josh being able to act emotional.
he can, ive seen many movies where he cried, and looked really heart broken.
he has alway been one of my favorite actors.
