ReplyDeleteHmm what about Dev Patel [from Slumdog Millionaire] as Peeta? And I think Bill Murray could pull off Haymitch.
ReplyDeleteLove the shirts! I think that Dev Patel would be perfect for Peeta, and Brad Leland would be spectacular as Haymitch. As for Katniss, I'm still deciding.

I love the shirt! I think Max Thieriot or Alex Pettyfer would be a good choice for Peeta. They both are fair haired and can pull off the puppy dog face that I think Peeta would have.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I follow you.
ReplyDeleteI think Haymitch should be some crazy dude like Robert Downey Jr.!! As for Katniss, I think they should get a fresh face, someone new, tough and pretty.

ReplyDeleteHaymitch should be a bit off, crazy hair optional, maybe the likes of Robert Downey Jr. or Jack Black could pull it off.

ReplyDeleteAwesome contest :)

For Katniss - Physically I think Maiara Walsh could do it. Although, unsure of her acting skills.
Emma Watson or Anna Popplewell would be able to pull off both acting/looks. Anna is probably too voluptuous though. I'm thinking they (casting people) would probably be better off with someone unknown in the role though. :)
I haven't read them yet, but I have heard so many good things about the books so I'm really excited!
ReplyDeleteI vote Robert Downey Jr. or Bill Murray for Haymitch.
ReplyDeleteI think Nick Nolte would be a fabulous Haymitch. The Hunger Games was my favorite book of the last year and I can't wait for the sequel.

ReplyDeleteGary Oldman for Haymitch. He can pull off crazy characters and straight-up characters (he's Sirius in Harry Potter, villain Ivan Korshunov in Air Force One, and Commissioner Gordon from The Dark Knight). So he'd be a good choice for the different sides Haymitch, I think.

AHHHHHH.
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing giveaway!!!!
Haymitch I think should be... John Goodman. He's such a good actor and he can play anyone, but I think his looks and some of the roles he's played previously would make him perrrrrfect.
+1 for the follow!
ReplyDeleteI just reread Hunger Games with my husband and was SHOCKED to hear Peeta described as stocky! I always imagined him slender. Kind of Zac Efrony with blond hair. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that the idea of Robert Downey Jr as Haymitch is a good one -- I could see him as that character.

There is going to be a movie? Did you mean hypothetically? Say there will be a real movie!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'd rather that Katniss and Peeta be played by unknowns so that the book is what stands out, not the actors.
For Haymitch, I would love to see Gerard Butler. But I think I'd love him in the movie just because, well, he's pretty. I know. I'm a horrible person.

Yay! I absolutely cannot wait to read this book, so I'm really excited about your giveaway. I don't even want to look at my position in the library queue.
ReplyDeleteI think a good choice for Katniss would be someone very understated but with the potential to be beautiful. I'm thinking a young Reese Witherspoon or even Kristen what's-her-face from Twilight (but pre-Twilight). Someone nearly boyish and gruff. I'm having a hard time coming up with a young equivalent now, though. I feel so old. lol

ReplyDeleteI want to read The Hunger Games because it sounds like a thrilling new YA read and everyone says it's wonderful so it sounds worth a shot.
ReplyDeletei see people are saying one of the characters should be played by Dev Patel. i haven't seen slumdog millionaire, but he was great in Skins so I'd just agree based on he's a good actor.

I haven't read The Hunger Games yet but I so want to! I've had it on my wishlist since it came out. I love dystopian future novels and not to mention it has a premise that sounds similar to Battle Royale which was totally awesome, so I have to read it! I can't start a series without reading the next book. So if I had the sequel it'll give that extra push to go out to the bookstore and buy it. Hehe.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I'm not sure I can hold off on buying Catching Fire now that it's available for purchase, but I might wait just a bit to see if I can win one and save a few bucks.
ReplyDeleteDakota Fanning was the first to come to mind for playing Katniss. Maybe Kirsten Stewart from the Twilight movies....but people might be tired of her by then.
I think Bill Murray would be an awesome Haymitch!

Truthfully, I'm going for unknowns. But I think a great Haymitch would be Hugh Laurie.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting since November for Catching Fire. To pass that time, I (and many others at hungergamestrilogy.com) have put a lot of thought into casting.
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely no idea on Katniss. Nobody seems to embody her to me. As far as Peeta, I'd love someone who looks like Alex Pettyfer did a few years ago (now he's starting to look a bit too old.)
Thanks for the oppertunity,

I think that the person who plays Katniss should be a new actress.
ReplyDeleteFor Haymitch, I'd cast James Marsters (you know: Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer). He'd fit the approximate age range and I think he'd be perfect. Second choice: Benjamin Bratt?
Personally, I'm tired of Robert Downey Jr. playing drunk/crazy guys; it makes me wonder if he's high and I lose track of the story.

So far, this summer (a little whine-fest here) the only books I've been able to get were books that I've won in contests. I've actually been a little lucky.
I'm interested in this book, and I think this is from a series, (am I right?, or thinking of another book)
The shirts look pretty cool, too.

Peeta - Unknown. I haven't been able to find anyone I like yet.
Haymitch - Johnny Depp definitely!
Evan Rachel Wood should play Katniss! I can't wait to see who will really play her...
ReplyDeleteThe only one I can think of is Summer Glau for Katniss. She could definitely pull off all the physical stuff required for it, and she is a fantastic actress.
ReplyDeleteI could totally see Nathan Fillion as Haymitch.
And Paul Bettany would be good in some role. He's too skinny for Haymitch in my opinion, and not right for Cinna, but someone...
Unknowns would really help this movie, if they were amazing. Great twist Lenore.

ReplyDeleteNever mind, just looked at Paul Bettany again and he could totally pull off Cinna (I know that wasn't one of the choices, but still). They would probably need to make him look a little bit younger though.

I literally just finished catching fire like 5 min ago... I accidentally stumbled across this site and read some of the choices for actors and actresses for some of the characters... Most I thought were completely ridiculous no offense and hopefully none taken... But I did agree with some like that Alex Pettyfer as Peeta... I honestly have no idea who this guy is but I looked up his pic and agreed he'd definitely make a good looking Peeta I don't no if he'd be any good but apparently he is an actor so he must be.... As for haymitch i'd probably consider that one dude from house like that one chick posted before me.... I've only seen the show a couple of times but I can tell he'd be a decent haymitch.... And lastly for katniss I'd take the advice of previous commentators and get a fresh new face like someone said before pretty but tough... Personally I would rather have some unknown faces mixed with a couple familiar during this movie because I've felt the disappointment of a book being made into a movie and not that the actors didn't do a good job just that it kinda kills it when I know all the actors so fresh faces might make this movie less of a disappointment then others I've seen...
ReplyDeleteI think that Katniss should be played by Daniel Day Lewis. Peeta should be played by Kal Penn, and haymitch should be played by zac efron.
ReplyDeleteI have a really hard time casting Katniss or Peeta, but I can definitely see either Brendan Gleesan or Paul Giamatti as Haymitch.

ReplyDeletesherigami@hotmail.com
I believe that Alex Pettyfer is the perfect Peeta. When you look at some of his pictures, there are ones that just jump out and say "I am the essence of Peeta!!!"
ReplyDeleteHmm.. Jack Black would be a hilarious Haymitch (saw that in someone else's comment) but I'm not sure that he could be serious when the occasion called for it. I'd love to see Dominic Scott Kay as Peeta, but he might be a little young. For Katniss... A fresh face! Whoever gets cast, I CANNOT WAIT for this movie!

I haven't read this yet but after many great reviews I went out and bought it. I can't wait to jump in to it.
ReplyDeleteI think Alex Pettyfer would be perfect for Peeta.

I think Amber Tamblyn should play Katniss in the movie. And what about Gale? Why does no one care about Gale? Steven Strait should play Gale. I know you didn't ask, but I love him <3

Hi! I'm a new follower, but I love love love HGT and was immediately drawn to your blog!
ReplyDeletePEETA:
-William Moseley
-Alex Pettyfer
- But someone new would also be awesome!
KATNISS:
- Definitely someone new, and maybe someone who could be "transformed" into Katniss, because I think her personality is more important than casting her for her looks, because those can always be changed!
Haymitch:
-Hugh Laurie (!!)
for Katniss, I think Willa Holland could do it if she bulked up and gained some muscule, but I really can't picture any actresses out there as Katniss. and I think Gerard butler would be a good drunk Haymitch :)

I've been loving Alec Baldwin as Haymitch for forever!

ReplyDeleteI reckon Alex Pettyfer would make a great Peeta. Dev Patel wouldn't work, because Peeta is blonde and pale.
ReplyDeleteI would have Alex Pettyfer play ♥Peeta♥ and the fat guy from borat play Haymitch and me play Katniss but if that doesn't happen I want Anna Popplewell
ReplyDeleteI think the girl who played Moze in Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and Kat in 10 Things I Hate About You show would be good for Katniss.

Katniss could be played by Abigail Breslin. Haymitch by Adam Baldwin or Billy Burke. Peeta should be played by new and upcoming actor, because honestly no one in young hollywood could fill the part. In my opinion.
