I heard they are throwing around the idea of having Kristin Stewart/Bella Swan play Katniss in the Hunger Games movie(s). I'm a huge Twilight fan but I'll be royally f-ing pissed if they make her Katniss.
She is too weak in my mind... or maybe she just plays weak Bella so well.... idk
thoughts?
Re: any other Hunger Games readers...
I have books 2 and 3 sitting on my desk ready to go!
I kind of don't want to see it made into a movie. Especially with her in the lead.
Miss Mrs.
and I heard someone wanting Taylor Launter as Gale.... um no!
As for her being 20, but Katniss being 16- when has that ever stopped anybody from casting older? They never cast by age, otherwise Gossip Girl, etc. wouldn't be full of actors in their mid-twenties.
If they make Kristin Stewert Katniss, it will seriously ruin the entire series for me. I've read all of Twilight and seen all the movies, and the Hunger Games is leaps and bounds better written and thought out than Twilight, at least in my opinion. Katniss and Bella are polar opposites.

I think he'd be ill-cast. Sherlock Holmes is the only movie that I can remember in the last several years turning off mid-way through.
Ideally, I don't want it to be a movie because they are guaranteed to ruin it. Would they actually have the kids killed? I doubt it, if they want to appeal to a younger crowd. I think Hollywood would make it too gentle, if that makes sense. No way would they ever make that scene in the last book with the parachute bombs.
I think they need an unknown for Katniss. If it's even remotely a sucess like the books are, I think they will have the next "Kristin Stewart" on their hands.

my read shelf:
I approve of Hugh Laurie in any role.
TL as Gale is a bad idea as well, but since I have such an old lady crush on him I won't hate on it too much. Haha.
I'm also nervous that they will sanitize HG if they make it into movies. Could it even be rated PG or PG-13 with all of the killing and violent deaths? Unlike Twilight, HG actually has fighting and conflict; would that go over well with this crowd? I assume they are targetting the same Twilight audience. Have the HG books garnered as large a fanbase as Twilight?

no no no no no. Wrong answer. SO not the right person to be Katniss.

And KS is just NO. I'd prefer unknowns just because when they turn books into movies, I hate associating the actor/actress with the book character. It ruins it. I used to love Ella Enchanted until they made that terrible movie.
I'd could see it binge whatsherface from Vampire Diaries. And the only way I picture Gale is as Gaspard Ulliel playing the character.
I can't see Hunger Games working as a family film. The premise is just too dark.
I think they need a nobody to come into Katniss, Peeta and Gale's roles. I really do.

That's the best I've got, but that's how I see Peeta all up in my brains and stuff...
And Gale:

[QUOTE]Alix, I just kinda fell in love with you for knowing who Anberlin is. Very few people I know do. I could see him being Peeta. Or someone who looks like that anyways.
Posted by heyimbren[/QUOTE]
I LOVE Anberlin long time. Long, long time.
Mandy I want Finnick to be Chris Pine. I think he could kill that role. Or that due who plays um... Eddy? Teddy? Freddy? I forget his name, on the new 90210.
And I want Hugh Laurie to be Haymitch like whoa.
And Malese Jow would be perfect for Rue, how I pictured her.

Alix, they've been one of my favourite bands since they came out with NTFP but barely any one I talk to has heard of them. You're from Canada right? Have you seen them play here? I know they've only done a few shows and they've got a few stops during this tour. I saw them in Toronto a couple years ago but I can't make it next week.
And I love the Peeta pick, Alix, but I picture Gale to be more rugged.
I picture Finnick to be more...
But I know that's impossible, since he's got more important things to worry about.
