The Hunger Games Movie

Okay, I've put it off long enough.  I DO NOT like the actors they have chosen for the Hunger Games movie.  I had just high expectations for this movie when it first was announced.  I loved the books so much and I really wanted them to do justice to the movie.  But with the cast, I don't think that it'll happen.  I do have preferences for the actors and actresses I would have liked to see in the roles.  It's a moot point now, but I'll still post it anyway.  Feel free to agree or disagree! (Also, my TOP picks will have a picture)

Katniss Everdeen - The main character of the series.  As told from her perspective, she has the most important role of defying the standards set by the Capital.  I pick:
  • Kaya Scolendario
  • Hannah Marks
  • Caitlin Stasey

Peeta Mellark - The boy that has loved Katniss from afar and would do anything for her and to keep her safe.  I pick:
  • Benjamin Stone
  • Tony Oller






Gale Hawthorne- Katniss' best friend and hunting partner.  While he seems to like Katniss he never openly admits it to her.  Quiet when he needs to be, brash and somewhat of a lady's man.  He is also a leader in taking down the Capital.  I pick:
  • Drew Roy
  • Keegan Allen




Primrose Everdeen - Katniss' little sister.  She takes  her place during the Reaping and is everything to Katniss.  She is quiet and like her mother, she likes to try and help.  She is the only person that Katniss truly loves.  I pick:
  • Ella Fanning
  • Ava Phillippe 





Haymitch Abernathy - The previous living winner of the Hunger Games and the mentor for Katniss and Peeta.  He is constantly drunk, harsh and very comical.  He becomes an important player in the revolt against the Capital.  I pick:
  • Philip Seymour Hoffman
  • Jeffery Dean Morgan



Effie Trinket - The Capital chaperon who escorts Peeta and Katniss everywhere during the games.  She is described as having pink hair, high-pitched voice and all about manners and presentation.  She is prominent in the first two books and absent from a majority of the third for being a supporter of the revolt.  I only have one pick and she is the only one I will ever accept!  I pick:
  • Kristin Chenoweth 



Cinna - Katniss' stylist for the first two games and a trust friend.  He has created the elaborate designs that help to spark the idea that there could be freedom from the Capital. 
  • Hugh Dancy
  • Cam Gigandet





Caesar Flickerman - The interviewer of the tributes who gets to know them and tries to connect the audience with each tribute.  He is fairly dramatic and seems a bit over the top.  And I will say that I LOVE Stanley Tucci for the role.  And to be honest, I think that either one of my picks would be perfect.  But he was also tied with:
  • James Marsden

  1. I love that you picked Drew Roy for Gale Hawthorne's role. I know him from when he grew up in Alabama. (family friend)
