Hunger Games Movie Cast?

Which actors do you think would be best to play the various characters in a movie based on the book?

I dont know thats hard

Hmm... that is hard...
I'm not sure if I want a movie though...the movies are never as good as the books, and always disgrace the books.

yea i agree

gale should b either taylor lautner or daniel ratcliffe, maybe, idk

I can see katniss looking a little like lily collins...

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW TAYLOR LAUTNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes def. that would be awsome!!!!

a little...lilly collins eyebrows r HUGE!!! hm.............katniss should b played by..........anne hathaway wud b good if only she wasn't so old.... lol

oh yea i agree and if she wasent dead audry heburn would be great!!!

OMG I KNOW THE PERFECT PERSON FOR KATNISS!!!!!!!! bonnie wright, the person who plays ginny!!!

ok, maybe not her. emma watson!!!! (sorry for all the harry potter references, watching order of the phoenix right now) but i think emma watson would b really really really good in that... do u think they r gonna make a movie out of this???

Yes, Lionsgate has acquired the rights for it and it's supposed to be released in 2011, but I don't think it's been cast yet. Suzanne Collins is writing the screenplay -- a definite plus.

totally OMG i am so excited for that i hope its like the movie (for katniss: ellen page)

yea that would work

sweet

DEF. FOR SURE!!! I love her! (emma watson)

The movie wld be pretty bloody tho!

Do you think Keira Knightly at 25 would be too old to play Katniss? I picture Katniss as a bit emaciated/lean, but maybe not that tall.

Or maybe Anna Sophia Robb (Bridge to Terabithia, etc) but with her blonde hair darkened? She's the right age and has lots of acting experience.

yeah anna sophia robb wud b good if she died her hair black or brown lol good idea deslivres5

that is a good idea

I feel left out of this conversation. I'm not very familiar with actors/actoresses

yeah i always look up people they talk about lol

me too. Otherwise I don't know what they r all talking about.

yeah im just like, sure, i know what ur talking about....sure.... lol

totally, yeah just keep on talking, in a few days maybe i will think of one (lol jk)

Ha! lol

my friend was ovr and i was talking in this and she said, katniss shoud b played by ellen page. im just like yeah!! i looked her up on google images and im like OMG TOTALLY!!!!!! so i kinda took credit from her sorry emily!!!! lol

I just looked her up, and I must say, I don't agree with you.

I agree with FantasyGirl2 i definetally do not think she should be the one. (ha when I wrote think I almost forgot how to spell it)

Its definitely . But no matter, we all make mistakes.

an opinion isnt a mistake, its a thought

No,I wasn't talking about her opinion, but her spelling on definitely. She spelled it definetally

o sorry lol

yeah so idk any actor(esses) either so um yeah

i think we hav a pretty good list. how about prim? i think she should b played by dakota fanning's sister

who dat i can look her up on google images if i know her name

one sec....
elle fanning

Hmm...well...sigh. Not really.

she has the look for it, she is supposed to b blonde hair, blue eyes

Having blonds hair/blue eyes is not the most important thing. Any one can dye their hair and wear blue contacts for a look. The thing is,whoever plays Prim will have to have her ...expressions, that shows she has undergone hunger, depression, a lot of things. Elle fanning,no offence, looks like a complete brat. Not at all like Prim. Elle isn't sweet like Prim either.

No,I am not saying we have to get an actress who has experienced hunger and poverty, but still.

i think she sorta looks like her... but i agree not very sincere looking

well, with those makeup artists out there, they can make anybody look like that lol

huh

like makeup ppl can make ppl look tan, blue (avatar :P) or hungry and poor

huh

nevermind lol

huh
huh
huh
huh
huh....

im sorry i am a confusing person!!!

:D

No,I get you, the huh was like a sarcastic sort-of-cross huh. huh kind of huh.

huh? lol

Now i'm being confusing, lol

yeah lets just move on.....

:D

so how was evrybody's weekend? lol

Tiring. I had a hiking trip on Fri, so on Sat i was sore all over.
And Sun was "spring cleaning day"

Yours?

oo. spring cleaning day on mothers day? ouch. mine was sat i had a game (it was FREEZING!!! 40 degrees) and i was really cold and sun i went to an arboretum (tree garden) and had fun with a maze and played in the kids playhouse there (yes, i know i am almost 13 lol)

Ha! I'm almost 14. In Aug.
Yah. spring cleaning on mother's day. And my mother is very particular about how clean thinggs are. She will make us (my sis, me, my little sis, my 2 little bros are too young) sweep every bit of dust, get a brush and brush down the whole house, floors, carpet, walls, everything. And it has to be PERFECT!! But she really is sweet. and she works with us too.
I always to the window/glass cleaning, cause I'm best at that. My little sis (8 years) does the dusting. My older sis does the mopping and brushing andsweeping, and me an dmy mom help her, cause that a lot of work.

i do the windows too!! and some dusting but not a lot

~to chat~

sigh. i like this tho :(

SIGH

i know. but to keep things organised for anyone new who comes by...

ok. what do u wannna talk about thats hunger games/catching fire related???

well, this thread is about the movie cast... so...oh never mind.

i dont know

yeah. i think peeta should b played by that dude who was luke in percy jackson lightning thief!!

hmmm maybe...

he might b too old tho...

he does seem too old...

I agree with Elle Fanning for Prim. I dont think she looks like a brat.
I cant think of anyone for the other characters.

yeah me either tho idk many actor(esse)s

yeah thank u Mariah7 she looks young and looks the part elle is PERFECT!!

idk many actresses either only really old ones like Audry heburn yea i = nerd

never heard of her!

Hunger Games needs a bad-ass, really athletic unknown to play Katniss. Nobody out there now could do her justice, don't you think?

i totally agree with you!!! =)

TOTALLYYY. There's no actress that good enough to act her part.

Prim=person who played Lucy in Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia
Madge= Anna Sophia Robb. Anna Sophia Robb needs to stop play lead roles.

AHHHH! On Google, someone thinks DEBBY RYAN'S going toplay Katniss. I would not even THINK about seeing The Hunger Games movie if Debby Ryan starred it!

OH yeah...the person who played Susan in Disney's Chornicles of Narnia would make a good Katniss. The person looks good with a bow and arrow.

Blah Debby. I don't like her, and she isn't Katnissy at all.
I agree, 'Susan' should play Katniss. And she can actually shoot. Apparantly.

Yea the person who played susan would be good!

Mm hmm.

Katniss- "Susan" from the Chronicles of Narnia
Haymitch- "Hagrid" from Harry Potter
Cato- "Emmett" from Twilight Saga
Glimmer- "Rosalie" from Twilight Saga
Effie- Rita Skeeter from harry Potter
Gale- "Percy" from the lightning thief.

i was to lazy to look up the real actor names so I just said their stage names. sorry/

Response to 88
I agree with....
Katniss
Gale
(I don't watch Twilight, so I don't know about the others)
I disagree with hagrid. Hagrid's too nice looking to be Haymitch. Plus, Haymitch is drunk.

Hagrid was a funny drunk in The half-Blood prince. I think he did good.

You should google image them. I think it's a pretty good match.

For us all, I've put up the links to their search pictures. (Yay, I figured out how to do pictures. The URLis for those who can't see them)

Percy as Gale? Noooooooooo. i disagree. Nooooooooooooooooooo.
Gale is better.

Yay. The html thing ACTUALLY worked. Well, except the Gale/Percy thing. i dunno why that didn't work.
The thing is edited over and over cause I had to fix some stuff. HTML is a new thing 4 me.

I like Rita Skelter. I disaggre with Glimmer and Cato though. Hagrid WITHOUT beard and make-up

Hagrid without beard agreed. Obviously
I like the Rita Skeeter thing too. Now, imagine her with a pink or orange wig.

they were just rough ideas. i think Cato was a pretty good match though.

Pink wig, I can imagine.

I like Rita Skeeter. But I dont think Hagrid is a good one for Haymitch.
And I think Susan is a great match for Katniss.
But I dont like any of the other ones.

Well...we'll just have to wait and see until 2011, to see who will be who.

That's only a couple of months from now!

:D

Its like

Big smile

it's supposed to be late in 2011. like middle.

Fine then. 1 to 1.5 year(s)

thats a longgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time. ='

we can be patient. Patience is a virtue
Would u rather wait and have a good movie, or not wait very long and have an extra-bad one?

yes. well-said.

While you're waiting, you can see Despicable Me. It's pretty good.

ah i totally agree with you. I can't think of any actress who can play her.

o the previous comment is in response to smaystein's comment. About how hunger games needs a bad-ass who is athletic and unknown.

i think the guy who played Peter Pan(Jeremy Sumpter) and the guy who played Eragon(Edward Speleer) should be somewhere in the movie...not sure who they should play though.

How do you put pics up?

-grins- secret,
but I'll tell u ;D

This is off Neopets.com

" Once you know where your images are saved, you are ready to write the code. The code to insert a picture is made up of three things:

1. closes the tag

When you put the code together it looks like this:

The image tag is special because you don't have to end it. Now, when you look at your webpage, you should see your picture.

There are several other things you can add into the code to make the image look better, including the border tag. Using this tag, you can choose what thickness of border (if any) you�d like around your image. Some basic borders are:

* Border="0" no border
* Border="1" thin border
* Border="2" thicker border

You simply type in border="2" inside the tag after you have typed the location of your image, like so:


Your picture will now be displayed with a thick border around it. "

oh great, it does not show up

Here, go to this page

http://www.neopets.com/help/html1.phtml

"inserting images" is no5
http://www.neopets.com/help/html_5.phtml

lol.... what are you guys talking about!?

how to put pictures up.

thanks by the way.

how do you get the code??
or maybe you could just put pics up of the two guys. =) because I cant figure it out.

Go to the picture-inserting page. You know, how they give this thing? its in bold
Copy paste it in ur post. Then, copy the exact url of the picture, like http://images.teamsugar.com/files/upl2/38/389545/25_2009/329e86f63e38667e_Nikki.... for example, and replace the http://www.neopets.com/mypicture.gif part with the picture's URL.

Edit. The "thing" I was talking about, in the first line, is the html coding.

ok this is the best I could do.

I still didnt understand you. haha
o well.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT WORKED!

not sure if this is a recent pic.

lol
it does work.
GOOD JOB!!!!!!

so what do you think about these two guys.

I think the second one(jeremy sumpter) looks like cato. but thats the second book.

I think the first one(edward steeler?) kinda looks like Peeta but might be too tough looking.

No, I think they fit.

I only saw the one... the guy with like three necklaces on.

Three necklaces or two necklaces?
Dunno why u can't see the first pic...I see it.

thats weird. you could just go to google and look him up if you really want to see him.

Crap. My first day of school is AUGUST 24! No Mockingjay for me.

nooooooooooo!!!!!!! Protest! Rebel! School on (one of) the best days of your life?? Noo!

i would rather wait one more day....because i start school on the 18th.

I know. *sigh* My sister starts on August 25th though, so I can give her 20 dollars and commad her to get her sorry butt over to Barnes and Noble and buy it for me.

good idea.

I start the 18th. =(

How about


for Gale?

(Ben Barnes)

No. Looks to old for a hot eighteen year-old dude that Katniss will marry some day.

mayyyybe if he shaved...but i think still to old. but i am loving the hair(for gale)!

131>lol. "hot eighteen year-old dude that Katniss will marry some day" Better not hope too much, or you'll jinx it and something horrible will happen...
He IS perfect for her though.........
Looks too old? He IS too old. Wasn't my idea tho. I saw it on some fansite. And thought it wouldn't be bad.
There's got to be a "perfect" one somewhere........
132>I love the hair too.

And well, who says Hollywood can't make him look younger?

yea thats what i was thinking.

I say Hollywood should find someone better.

I say they better not disappoint us.

>136 HannaMeads:
ahah i agree

135+136> :D
Agreed!

I hope the Katniss/Gale/Peeta are all new ppl. Who wwe haven't seen b4

Yes, that would be awesome! Hey, I'm 11...maybe the can cast the hunger games biggest fan as Prim or Rue!

139> haha maybe..just maybe.

139>I love that idea.
:D

WAIT! THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA FOR A DISCUSSION!

good because we need more conversations going on here. some of them are getting kinda worn out.

Yeah.....
I wish Mockingjay would get published already, so that we have more to talk about...

so did we decide to read it at the same time? i cant remember.

I can't get the book in time. Unless....wait, there's a less crowded library that I live near, maybe Mockingjay requests won't be as bad for that...

well just let me know.

It's official that they're making a movie. Look at the Mockinjay review in USA today.

heck yes!!! haha. the book is awesome guys. Better than I expected.

I wont wreck anything for you though.

did you already finish it!

nope. I have volleyball practice and stuff other than reading to do:).
You all will be mad. I was almost crying I was so mad.

hey dont give anything away missy!

I GOT THE BOOK FROM MY SCHOOL LIBRARY CAUSE NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!

There spoiler was here, but now it's not.

WHAT the heck!!!!!
why did you tell us!!! i now hate you.

SORRY!! I COULDN'T HELP IT!!! But I swear, I will NOT tell why.

i still hate you.

=)

153>AARRAAHH!!!! Booklover287 WHY OH WHY!! I THOUGHT WE AgREED THAT WE WOULD NOT GIVE OUR ANY SPOILERS!!
First reaction aside { ;) }, I suggest that you, um, delete that post. So that if some innocent person stumbles across our thread, they don't see your very obvious spoiler.
156>I absolutely agree. ;)

And then maybe you would like to go see my blog. http://themindislimitless.blog.com/ I wrote an entry about spoilers. And that was BEFORE I read this spoiler.

I think that selena gomez would make a good Katniss
madisson pettis from "Corey in the House" would make a good Rue.
Cody Linley would probably make a good Peeta

EWWW! NO, NO NOT SELENA GOMEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Madisson Pettis is too old now.
Cody Linely is okay, but not the Peeta I pictured.

perhaps......Ciaro Bravo from Big Time Rush as rue?
sterling knight as peeta
and....Alysson Stoner as Katniss?

Ciaro Bravo....just can't picture
No Sterling Knight, eww please no.
Alyson Stonner is too kiddish looking. Katniss is more serious and stuff.

i can kinda see ciaro bravo. just put some dirt on her face! haha
but not the others.

hmmm...

Ok...I give.....I don't think I can come up with good cast ideas...

you came up with lots of them though!
keep trying =)

No, I don't think any of them really fit...
But I do agree with Mariah7. Keep trying Celestius :)
We'll get the perfect ones...if we keep trying...

I feel like you guys are huge downers...
whenever someone says something its never rite... it's disappointing! :P

because it never is right.

Everyone has their own opinion though.

True, true

They just announced a list of actors who are trying out for both Peeta and Gale.

For Peeta:

i say Evan Peters and Drew Roy look good!

=

i think drew roy for gale too, alexander ludwig for peeta though..... some of the people trying out for gale look way to old.....

I like Lukas Till and Drew Roy. Robbie Amell and David Henry, good luck...

Absolutely loves your suggestions! Couldn't agree more with your choices. :)

Latest update about the frontrunners.

http://collider.com/josh-hutcherson-liam-hemsworth-hunger-games/83642/

I looked on imdb.com and the person cast for Katniss is Jennifer Lawrence.

I don't think that last message worked......
Would Effie be good as Alice (I think thats her name) from Twilight? She's a bit too young though.

I'd have to agree with bananak and say Bonnie Wright from Harry Potter. She'd have to lose the accent though. ;)

I heard somewher that Bonnie Wright is not a very good actress. She can't look straight at the camera without making some weird nervous face. Thats why they usually show from the side in HP.

It's now official. Josh Hutcherson will play Peeta and Liam Hemsworth will play Gale. Can't say I'm a fan of either choice.

http://collider.com/hunger-games-josh-hutcherson-liam-hemsworth/84005/#more-8400...

Really?! Not who I expected

bubblegum99: Huh that's really weird but I guess I've noticed that too.

that sucks big time The guy playing gale looks 30!!!!!!!:( so not cool

i really like josh hutcherson and i think he will do good as peeta, but i wanted some not as known. but i cant really complain.

i so dont know agree with liam. i really liked him in the last song but sooo not gale! hopefully hes good.
