Catching Fire Prize Pack Contest!

Catching Fire comes out today and I couldn't be more excited that it is finally out there and we can all talk about it. Have you gotten your copy yet? If not, I may have a little contest that might interest you... (and even if you do have it, you could always give your extra copy to a friend, right?)

You will be seeing this same contest on more blogs over the next 2 weeks, so try to enter as many as you can, because you WANT to win this one!

Three (3) lucky winners will receive:
*very* limited edition promotional T-shirt
collectible mocking jay pin
copy of Catching Fire

Read my review of Catching Fire.
Visit the official Hunger Games site.
Watch the trailer:



And check out the t-shirt:


All you have to do to enter is leave a comment telling me who you think should play Katniss, Peeta, and/or Haymitch in the upcoming Hunger Games movie. (You can cast all three, but one will suffice). If you haven't read Hunger Games yet, no worries. Just tell me why you want to read it and Catching Fire and you're in. Followers of my blog get an extra entry, so indicate if you are in a separate comment for it to count. New followers are welcome!

Finally, read the fine print:

The Catching Fire book promotion is open to participants with a United States mailing address only (international readers can enter if you have a friend in the States who can accept your prizes by mail!). Entrants under age 13 must have parent or guardian permission to enter. The Catching Fire book promotion runs from September 1 to September 15, 2009. Winners will be announced on or around September 16, 2009.

I think Katniss should definitely be someone new. I picture her as someone with very strong features, like Kiera Knightly, but with dark hair and olive skin. I don't really think Dakota Fanning or Anna Popplewell could pull it off.

Peeta: definitely Alex Pettyfer. He's the kind of character that calls for a really classic "cute boy" kind of actor.

Haymitch: Jeff Bridges would be awesome. Just keep him chubby.

Gale sort of draws a blank for me. Someone who resembles Alex Meraz, but I don't think I'd want any twilight actors in the movie.

Prim: Brooklynn Proulx

For Haymitch i'm thinking Will Smith, because of Hancock. (I'm a fan of Orlando Bloom..... I know he's sorta old for Peeta)

I actually haven't read The Hunger Games yet, but it's really up high on my to-read list!! So many friends of mine have recommended it to me, and I trust their good literary taste that the book is great! I'm certain that The Hunger Games as well as its sequel are awesome reads, and I can't wait to read them. I'm actually already thrilled that a movie is going to be coming out for it, even though I haven't read it!

William Moseley keeps coming to mind as a good Peeta--at least how he looks.

Maddie A said...

Well, I think that Katniss should be a fresh face, someone not very well known. She should be pretty but she should not be super model pretty, and should give the impression that she is strong and a survivor, not week. Peeta should be played by Alex Pettyfer or Michael Welch, and maybe Brendan Gleeson for Haymitch?

By the way, I love the books! They are truly the best books I have ever read!

Hello there! I'm not exactly sure who I would cast for the movie, but I am very excited about it. I loved the first book, and I'm anxious to read the second one. I want to see how this whole Gale/Katniss/Peeta thing turns out, as well as what happens to District 12 after the games.

I LOVE CATCHING FIRE. I'M OFFICIALLY OBSESSED! Anyway, I think Anna Sophia Rob would play a great Katniss, and Skander Keynes from Narnia would be awesome as Gale. He looks perfect. Oh, and I definetely follow!

I think they should cast an unknown for Katniss. I just hope that Suzanne Collins has a say in the casting.

What about Selena Gomez as Katniss? I'm not sure about her acting, but she could pull it off in looks.

I too think an unknown, fresh faced actress would be best to play Katniss.
As for Haymitch, I am so on board with Nathan Fillion!

I haven't read The Hunger Games though I was recently able to get it. I want to read these books because they sound good and I've heard great things about them. Personally, I think they should cast unknown or little known actors/actresses for the movie. I'd rather see an unfamiliar face than some big shot.

I think Jack Black should play Haymitch. He would be really funny. I also think an unknown should play Katniss.

Well, I just saw the trailer for Whip It and I'm thinking Ellen Page for Katniss. I think she has the innocence but the spaz to pull it off....we'll see, I guess. :)

For Peeta (I'm so Team Peeta!), I think it should be Max Thieriot! He's adorable!

Anisa said...

I kinda see Brendan Gleeson as being Haymitch

but it's kinda hard for me to decide who should be Katniss and Peeta. I mean, i have an image in my head but I'm not sure who would do them justice

Unknown said...

I think Alexander Ludwig would be a good Peeta! For Haymitch, I think Justin Kirk. Don't really know anyone for Katniss...

I think Saoirse Ronan would be good for Katniss. She's the right age and I could picture her in the role.

Anonymous said...

I would love to see Bill Murray as Haymitch! He's perfect for that sardonic wit mixed w/lovable bumbler. As for Katniss & Peeta, I'd like to see some talented unknowns.
