And what about Cinna? Kind of a big role too. I picture the actor who played The King of Mississippi's partner in last season's True Blood's. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 26, 08:29 2
- If Brandon Routh could act - but alas he can't. I'd want Jared Leto as Cinna - too old? he looks 30! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 26, 08:36 1
  - Cinna needs some...flair. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 26, 08:40
I'm not a fan of the John C Reilly as Haymitch talk. I guess I see it, but Reilly's too much of a goofball..... - ty97 Apr 26, 08:17 25
- I picture him more as Alastor (Mad Eye) Moody. -- nm - Spawn Apr 26, 08:44 1
  - i think this, Reilly, and Bill Murray are all different shades of the same right idea for Haymitch. -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 08:45
- I pictured Haymitch as the professor guy from Sliders -- nm - Stephen Apr 26, 08:25 1
  - Rhys-Davies -- nm - Stephen Apr 26, 08:26
- I could see Al from Deadwood playing him. Either that or the President -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 08:24 4
  - Oooo, I do like that. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 26, 08:27
  - Ian McShane would be a great President Snow - but I picture someone more slick looking. Think Bale from American Pyscho days -- nm - Epiphany Apr 26, 08:26 2
    - I pictured Jack Valenti. :) nm - ralph wiggum Apr 26, 08:28 1
      - bwhahahaha -- nm - prayformojo Apr 26, 08:30
- A number of people wanted RDJ for it. That's the right attitude but maybe not the right look. I picture Haymitch as having let himself go to pot. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 26, 08:23 1
  - OMG. (hands off.) -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 08:24
- see, i can. and i also recall... - TFox Apr 26, 08:21 7
  - I pictured shorter, squatter, dumpier. Mainly, I'm just not a big Reilly fan. - ty97 Apr 26, 08:26 6
    - there aren't a lot of dumpier name actors to get to play the part than Reilly. -- nm - TFox Apr 26, 08:40
    - I pictured like "former football player gone to fat." crowe? kilmer? affleck? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 26, 08:30 4
      - I might picture Bill Murray -- nm - ty97 Apr 26, 08:42
      - Crowe or Kilmer might could work, but Affleck is too smirky I think. - Stephen Apr 26, 08:36 2
        
        true - but Kilmer is inspired - Reilly is wrong for Haymitch -- nm - Epiphany Apr 26, 08:37 1
        
        Kilmer by look is good but he is a mess and would probably wreak havoc on the set. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 26, 08:41
- I loved the Kurt Russell suggestion the other day. (Not that it would ever happen). nm - ralph wiggum Apr 26, 08:21 3
  - oh. my. gawd - that would have been brilliance -- nm - Epiphany Apr 26, 08:21 2
    - Also, Paula Malcolmson is grrrreat casting. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 26, 08:23 1
      - agreed -- nm - Epiphany Apr 26, 08:25
- agreed - I wanted Joaquin Phoenix - Epiphany Apr 26, 08:21
- oh, i can totally see him getting the right amount of surl -- nm - prayformojo Apr 26, 08:18
yeah, i like all of the casting so far. my only complaint is now that i'm picturing the cast in my head as i read -- nm - prayformojo Apr 26, 08:14 3
- The young actress for Rue is basically dead-on. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 26, 08:23
- I really, really hate that -- nm - Epiphany Apr 26, 08:21
- Well I was very much team Hailee Steinfeld for Katniss so Jen Lawrence is going to have to prove herself with me. -- nm - bc/nc Apr 26, 08:21
