The director for THG trilogy, Gary Ross, has been announced and casting is the next phase. Here is what Ross had to say about casting Katniss Everdeen
Ross revealed that he hadn’t yet met with any actresses but would begin those conversations shortly. Admirers of Katniss, District 12′s dark and resilient “Tribute,” can rest assured that the director won’t dumb the character down or cutesy her up for the movie. “I’ve talked to Suzanne extensively and I feel like I understand the character really, really well,” he said. “What makes Katniss attractive is her strength and her assuredness and her defiance and ultimately her compassion. And I don’t mean just physical strength. I mean a real strength as a human being. She knows her own truth. She feels deeply and fiercely. And this is something that the actress has to bring with her.”
There have also been rumors that Hugh Laurie & Robert Downey Jr. are up for the role of Haymich Abernathy, what do you think?

| Logan Lerman for Simon |
So who do fans want to play Jace & Simon? It is pretty clear as many are shouting it from their twitter accounts daily. Collins (Clary) has even seen the tweets and knows how serious the fans are about who they see for these characters. “A lot of the fans have been tweeting that [they want] Alex Pettyfer." She also mentioned a Logan Lerman as a name she keeps hearing fans talk about for Simon. (Source: Examiner.com)

| Alex Pettyfer for Jace |
I don't know about you but I just love the choices! I think both guys physically fit the roles. But nothing is official and for now these are the fans "wants/desires".

We would love to share the news!
O most definitely Hugh! Though I wish they were choosing someone portly.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the possibles for Haymitch. Robert Downey Jr. has Haymitch's sarcasm down to an art.
ReplyDeleteI could die happy if Alex Pettyfer was cast as Jace. Just saying. And Logan is an adorable choice for Simon. Him or Graham Phillips.
those are great choices for haymitch...
ReplyDeletebooks being made into movies. I hope that they keep the general theme or storyline, but other than I don't go into with high expectations anymore.
IE Twilight
I saw some other pictures of Rooney. Really incredible transformation. I hope all the tattoos are fake. They must be.
ReplyDeleteAlso heard more news about Miley Cyrus doing Wake. She says she wants it to be more of a horror film.
Shudder.
While reading the books, I TOTALLY had Hugh Laurie's face and mannerisms going through my head for Haymitch! Then again, RDJ would do the role justice too... I think either one could pull of drunk and snarky! =D
ReplyDeleteI think Hugh Laurie would make the perfect Haymitch, and I'm still pulling for Malese Jow for Katniss :)
ReplyDeleteYep, we're super excited about all of these. THanks for the updates!!!

ReplyDeleteWow! I can't believe I haven't read any of these books yet, so now I can't join in the fun! Shame on me!!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide who I want more for Haymich, they are both great options.
ReplyDelete@ Julie I always worry the movie will ruin the book too :(... If the others are involved I usually have a little more faith.
@Leanna GIRL! You need to get going and start The Mortal INstruments quick! :)
@Allison I didn't even know they were making Wake into a movie let alone cast Miley Cyrus... very nervous
*crosses fingers and toes that Alex Pettyfer will be Jace*
ReplyDeleteFor the win, people!
Hugh Laurie would be best as Abernathy.
ReplyDeleteMara looked pretty scary in her Lisbeth makeover... Have you seen the other Lisbeth the foreign Danish (I think their Danish) movies? Now she's perfect!
