So I’m reading The Hunger Games trilogy right now, and I can’t put it down. Now that the casting is out for the first movie, I’ve got some opinions. Ha ha. I have no idea how the actors of the tributes are going to do because I’ve never seen most of them before. Jennifer Lawrence is cast as Katniss, and after seeing her in X-Men: First Class as Mystique I think she’s going to do a stellar job. She definitely looks the part. However, there are few casting choices I think I would have done differently.
I would have cast Michael Sheen as Haymitch, and Colm Feore as President Snow. We’ll see how Woody Harrelson and Donald Sutherland will hold up to the book’s reputation, but in Haymitch, I want to see the hopeless drunkard, but also ruthless/genius Games winner and not some stupid campy character only in the film for comic relief. Also, I want to see President Snow be as ruthless and creepy as possible. I’m pretty sure Donald Sutherland can pull this off, but I think Colm Feore would have been a better choice.
I guess we’ll find out in March of next year.
Who would your casting choices be?
May the odds ever be in your favor!
