    Yay!! Journalists who aren’t pushing for Chloe Moretz! Seriously, how could a blonde, pale, 13-year-old play black-haired, olive-skin toned 16-year-old? Although points taken away for having some people that are too old to play teenagers–like Cam and Skeet. But bonus points for having Kaya and Hunter there. Fan favorites, and not very obvious choices.

    • Alex

      yeh i never got Chloe Moretz either.. it just makes no sense. i think Alexandra Daddario or Kaya Scodelario

      • Jimmy Brown

        I agree i am a Chloe Fan (Her performance in “let me in” was great Smit Mcphee Aswell) After doing some research on the story and on the main characters she would not be a good choice for the role, Her features do not go with how the Katniss is described in the books, i would hope that they go the unknown route like many are suggesting if not i say go with Kaya.

      • Kathy

        Agreed.

  • anonymous

    I really think Katniss should be played by an unknown, but if we have to vote for an already established actor, why not Annasophia Robb. She’s really talented, about the right age and with the right hair dye and makeup she’s probably look the part.

    • Meow

      annasophia would be a perfect madge! that’s always how i imagined her in the books.

      • Kathy

        Yea.

  • Anna

    Really?! REALLY!? Demi Lovato?! She’s a Disney actress who’s not very good. Emma Watson? Just. No. Kaya Scodelario is PERFECT for Katniss. Also, Hunter Parrish ♥ is Peeta. But, EW, thank you for finally taking notice of Hunter and Kaya as fan favourites!

    • Alex

      Demi Lovato is a good comedy actress who could maybe pull of drama. but she could never pull of something like Hunger Games. i love her, but just no.

    • Kathy

      I agree on Kaya to be Katniss but I think Alex Pettyfer should be Peeta.He’s only a little older.(I think.)Hehe.

  • Gloria

    I think that they need to go outside the box of big names and get an unknown actress for the role of Katniss,although Saoirse Ronan is an awesome actress. William Moseley would make an ok Peeta, Drew Roy looks like how I pictured Gale, Kristen Chenowith should hands down be Effie Trinkett, and I think Viggo Mortensen would make a good Haymitch. As far as President Snow I think you need either Jack Nickelson or Robert DeNiro

  • Avery

    KC for Effie ALL THE WAY! And Robert Downey Jr. would be a perfect Haymitch!

  • Tara

    Where Chloe Moretz? I like her for Katniss.

    • Melissa

      Yeah where Chloe Grace Moretz? She was there in previous post. Even if you may not like her, she is 1 of strongest contenders too.

      • Katie

        According to whom? Most of the fan-base dislikes her for the role. They want her for Katniss’s younger sister.

        The reporters and media are the ones pushing for Chloe, not the fans who will be the ones who make or break box offices sales.

      • Lisa

        Many of the fans were up in arms when that Chloe Moretz article came out. Chloe is only 13. She’s tiny (short and petite), with a fair-complexion, squeaky voice, and blonde. She’s, by far, not a fan-favotire for Katniss. Yes, she can act, but she’s not at all right for the role. Put her as Prim, even though I think that even Elle Fanning fits that role better.

      • Liz Lemon

        I hope to God that she’s not. I seriously can’t even begin to imagine how ANYONE who has read the books could think Chloe would work. She’s too young. Too pale. Too short. I think the idea came up just because of her role in Kick-Ass, but she’s not right at all.

      • Vienna

        Media & journalist pushing for Chloe because her acting is GREAT. They know she has the chops for both drama & action roles. They see past age & looks for talent.

  • Elyse

    Hunter Parrish NEEDS to be Peeta. He’s perfect!

    • AnaB

      AGREED!!! =D

    • Celia

      I love that suggestion!!!!

    • Alex

      YES!

    • Meow

      ditto.

      • Me

        U guys r wrong he cnt b way to old and no fitting the descripyion has WAVY HAIR AND HE IS WAY YO UGLY FOR PEETA ALEX PETIFIYER ALL THE WAY

      • Vera

        Lucas Till for Peeta, even though he’s too old for the role…
        @”Me”: as if Alex PETTYFER is any better Hunter Parrish…PETTYFER does not fit peeta’s role

      • Vera

        *any better THAN Hunter Parrish

    • Annaji

      Haha, I'm so glad! So many great shows/movies/books ecxerienped here and collected in gif-fy goodness.

  • MissX

    Hunter has connections with Lionsgate who’s producing the movie too! Man I’ve never cared about any other cast or character as I do this one. Hunter Parrish was born for the role!

    • Katie

      WIN! I’ve been able to actually have some faith in him getting this role since I found out Lionsgate TV produces Weeds. He’s perfect, I tell you, perfect.

  • JenniJenJen

    PLEASE DON’T Take this great book & turn it into a BEAUTY CONTEST like TWILIGHT!!. Katniss is suppose to be PRETTY IN HER OWN WAY!!! PEETA is a BAKERS SON- he should have a BROAD BUILT not a TAYLOR LAUTNER. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! AGE APPROPRIATE PEOPLE!

  • Samantha

    i really think emma watson should play katniss. i have read all 3 of the books and i have seen her in a movie with action and i think she’d be the PERFECT person to play katniss

    • Celia

      Agreed. She looks young enough to play a 16/17 year old, but she’s also very wise beyond her years like Katniss.

  • Ashly

    I like the girl on the left-second in the 1st columm! They need an unknown- the actress are a little too old plus they have horrible suggestions 4 the role of katniss- whats demi lovato doin in this poll? She doesnt have that wild child/sultry thing goin on that katniss has-shes 2 nice, lucas till is an ok choice but were not goin 4 ok we’re goin 4 awesum! Lucas till is way 2 built and ‘kute’-peeta is handsum but not in that ‘way’. We need sum fresh faces- *whee* im happy im not the kasting director but im pretty sure id do an awesum job!

  • Helena

    CHLOE MORETZ – LUCAS TILL – LOGAN LERMAN all the way! PUT LOGAN & CHLOE NAME IN THE POLL PLEASE !

    This poll is rigged! What Demi Lovato, Emma Watson, Shia LaBeouf, Skeet Ulrich doing here? You put them on the list but not Logan Lerman, Chloe Moretz, Malese Jow, Jodelle Ferland? Ridiculous.

    • Ashley

      no, no , no, no. go read the books again, especially the chracter appearance parts.

    • Me

      Girl thts cuz chloe is not the katniss

  • Chloe

    I will die if Saoirse Ronan is cast. DIE.

    • Alex

      agreed.

  • Brynn

    Thank GOD Chloe Moretz isnt on the poll….yea lets have Katniss be played by a f’ing 13 year old lol.

    • Alex

      a blonde, pale 13 year old could totally play a black haired, olive skinned 16 year old! -.-

    • Kathy

      HAhaHA!!!!! Good one. =D

  • emmy

    KAYAAAAA

    • Kathy
