Project Watch: Hunger Games

It's round two for casting today.

Variety is reporting that Hunger Games may have found their Effie Trinket.

Elizabeth Banks is in talks to play the bubbleheaded chaperone for District 12 Tributes Katniss and Peeta.

Project Watch: Hunger Games

Entertainment Weekly has reported that Hunger Games has found their tributes for District 11. 


Unlike the casting for Katniss and Peeta, the producers have gone for a pair seriously unknowns. Which could be a very wise move for both sides. 


This pair, Amandia Stenberg and Dayo Okeniyi will play Rue and Thresh. And while they have almost nothing on their resumes, I do like the look I'm seeing.

Lionsgate has also setup a tracker on the project's official Facebook page to watch the casting as it happens.   Talk off the Facebook and Twitter logos and the page could be ripped out of the books themselves (Folks at the Capital would at least have that level of access perhaps). Effectively creepy in my opinion. 


If you are one of the handful of folks out there that haven't read these books, I recommend them. Sure they were written for teens and all that, but they are quite good.
