Responses:

Alex Pettyfer as Finnick, Terry O'Quinn as Beetee, Scarlet Johansson as Johanna, and as Emmy Rossum Wiress. -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 07:23 19
- how much $ do you expect them to pay in actor salaries in this movie???? - groiny Mar 26, 07:24 15
  - Those 4 people are all cheap. Johansson can get decent money, the rest, average. -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 07:30
  - when it's going to make a gazillion? can't they splurge on salaries? - Pippy Mar 26, 07:25 13
    - by the same token, they don't need big names to make more, so there's no value added. -- nm - loosilu Mar 26, 07:28 8
      - except Twilight went for Dakota Fanning and Micheal Sheen - so... -- nm - Pippy Mar 26, 07:29 6
        
        they're not a-list yet. -- nm - loosilu Mar 26, 07:32 4
        
        seriously? I thought Dakota Fanning was - -- nm - Pippy Mar 26, 07:32 3
        
        in the past we have spent many boards arguing over what A-list means. :) - loosilu Mar 26, 07:34
        
        not in my mind. - groiny Mar 26, 07:34 1
        
        okay, I will concede -- nm - Pippy Mar 26, 07:35
        
        who? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 07:30
      - I wonder if stars will take less on the upfront just to get in? I'm not sure this ever happens but... -- nm - Pippy Mar 26, 07:29
    - IMO, big time people would be a distraction. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 07:26 3
      - I'd say there's no one in his list outside ScarJo who moves the needle above what they currently have. - Will Hunting Mar 26, 07:30
      - IMO - they don't need the big names for the upcoming roles - they seem to be doing fine without them. - Pippy Mar 26, 07:28 1
        
        well, that too, and especially using HG as a base, they would not get a ton of screen time. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 07:29
- *love the Terry O'Quinn suggestion* -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 26, 07:24 2
  - this is true for most roles he fits though -- nm - Beaker Mar 26, 07:25 1
    - this. -- nm - loosilu Mar 26, 07:26
Jared Padelicki for Finnick -- nm - Pippy Mar 26, 07:15 14
- Probably too old - he's only supposed to be 24. - Kim Pine Mar 26, 07:21 11
  - dang - I need a tall, muscley - Neptune looking dude - ya know. No shrimps for this role. -- nm - Pippy Mar 26, 07:22 10
    - Zac Efron -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 07:22 8
      - neither tall nor muscley. -- nm - loosilu Mar 26, 07:27 5
        
        really? he's kind of muscley - he's not Jared P muscley but still some what - Pippy Mar 26, 07:30 3
        
        I think we need to examine the evidence. -- nm - loosilu Mar 26, 07:32 2
        
        here -- (link) - Pippy Mar 26, 07:34 [Image] 1
        
        wait, that ain't him. is it him? -- nm - loosilu Mar 26, 07:35
        
        Perhaps we should discuss the definition of muscley. And whether movies ever stray from books. -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 07:28
      - you know, it's not horrible but they'd never do it. -- nm - Pippy Mar 26, 07:23 1
        
        He's too high-profile for the role, I doubt it would be a good match -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 07:24
    - Aquaman! -- nm - oblique Mar 26, 07:22
- this would work...although he might be too young (IIRC Tom Cruise was thrown around when the books first came out) -- nm - Beaker Mar 26, 07:18 1
  - *Head Desk* -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 07:20
I stopped reading after Glee -- nm - Beaker Mar 26, 07:15 12
- I've seen every ep of Glee and don't know who that is. - Diva Mar 26, 07:18 11
  - Dramatic slutty gay one. -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 07:20 1
    - oh - I thought he was someone else. -- nm - Diva Mar 26, 07:31
  - IMDB has him on 4 episodes of Glee as a character named Sebastian Smythe -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 07:19 8
    - there is no singing in the arena! nm -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 07:20 2
      - You know Channing Tatum is going to try and get in this movie. -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 07:21 1
        
        oh HELL NO - Pippy Mar 26, 07:27
    - the irish twit? -- nm - oblique Mar 26, 07:20 4
      - no - the boyfriend stealing Warbler. He's Curt's new nemesis -- nm - Pippy Mar 26, 07:21 2
        
        ah, he's a prick -- nm - oblique Mar 26, 07:21 1
        
        he's short. cute - but too short for Finnick. He could do smirky/sexy but Finnick had presence. -- nm - Pippy Mar 26, 07:23
      - You do not put those words together! -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 07:20
oh lawd, no HBC! nm -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 07:15
