Jennifer Lawrence is Katniss in THE HUNGER GAMES
After weeks of rumors, Jennifer Lawrence landed Hollywood’s most coveted role for a young actress, that of Katniss Everdeen in Gary Ross’s adaptation of Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games.
Lawrence was duking it out with 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld for the part, but watching a 14-year-old play a 17-year-old who kills other teenagers is a lot to take in for your average audience. Both actresses have true grit, but Lawrence’s darker, grittier turn Winter’s Bone (and her age) made her the obvious choice for the part.
More details from MTV:
According to Lionsgate, the 20-year-old actress is a fitting choice due to her “meteoric ascent” to Hollywood stardom with her Oscar-nominated role in Winter’s Bone, to be followed by roles in Matthew Vaughn’s X Men: First Class and The Beaver, directed by Jodie Foster.
Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins has already given Lawrence’s casting her blessing, via a statement from the studio.
Now that Katniss is set, we can start speculating on who will play other characters, including her two male love interests, Peeta and Gale. E! Online reports that Weeds star Hunter Parrish is in talks for the role of Peeta, Katniss’s male companion from District 12 in the Hunger Games arena. No complaints from this The Hunger Games fan.
Of course, my choice to play Katniss’s mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, is still Jeff Bridges. And I won’t have it any other way… unless it’s Ray Winstone.
