How about Hugh Laurie (House, MD) for Haymitch?
He starts filming the “Mr.Pips” movie next month.
Yeah, his reps have said he isn’t available.
I vote for Jeffrey Dean Morgan or John C. Reilly as Haymitch. I think they’re realistic options (i.e. not RDJ) who could bring Haymitch to life.
i meant SHE oops sorry
or Robert Downey Jr.!
that’s what he means by RDJ lola..and as much as i LOVE LOVE him for haymitch it’s not gonna happen
hey…. just wanted to say It’s been announced that the actress who will play Effie is…
ELIZABETH BANKS!
What do you think of that?
I think these are good picks, and hope that the movies work out well. I am much more excited for this series to be in the theatre than any other series being worked on right now. These three books worked so well as a cohesive story, that I am looking forward to what the screenwriters will harvest from the original writing! Since the screenwriter and author seem to get along well and have even gone to press events together, this bodes well for a strong finished product!
The very idea that actors performances will be judge by their personal lives shows the unqualified ignorance of the writer of this piece who seems to have a personal ax to grind with Miley and Vanessa
The argument that women can’t be objective about anything even when doing their jobs just suffered another blow.
It seems EW needs to start paying more attention to who they hire
I have acted with Dayo (on stage, not on screen) before and I think he’s perfect for Thresh. He’s got a lot of power to him without having to over accentuate that fact. It’s amazing to see.
aww you got to work w/ him!! awesome! thanks for saying this.
We are so proud of Dayo!! He hails from our little tiny art department in Indiana. We all are so proud of you Dayo. You will be amazing!!
the girl goes to my school and she is SO PERFECT for rue, you wont be dissapointed. i’m so proud and happy for her!!
the girl looks just like a younger version of Shay Mitchell (from Pretty Little Liars)
When will we see a gallery of photos of the outlandish Capitol styles on the extras?
And…Latin is NOT a race. You can be Black and Latino, just the way you can be Black and American.
