The point of this blog, however, is not that I love The Hunger Games novels, but that they finally are starting to announce the cast for the movie franchise! I'm going to say my thoughts, and if you disagree with me, I want you to look at all the cares I give: ________________________. That being said...
Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss: At first I hated this. I am a Hailee Steinfeld supporter through and through to my core. I realize that you can change her hair color and do some alterations with makeup and costumes and stuff, and most people are arguing that once she's in costume she'll be fine. I still disagree. It takes more than hair and costume and good acting to pull off a role. You need the attitude, the build, the demeanor, the correct age, and so many other things to pull off a role completely, and Jennifer Lawrence hasn't shown me that she'd make a good Katniss. I will support her in the role until she proves that she shouldn't be supported, but I think it could have been casted more appropriately.
Josh Hutcherson as Peeta: I'm okay with this casting. Josh has the right build and the right attitude to play Peeta. All he needs are some contacts and a bit of hair dye, and I think he'll pull off the part well. Again, I think it could have been casted better, but Josh will do the part justice, and that's all I can really ask of my favorite character.
Liam Hemsworth as Gale: No. Just no. There is no amount of disgust in this casting that can be properly discussed. He is not Gale, nor will he ever be Gale in my mind. No amount of makeup, hair dye, or even plastic surgery would make him Gale. I have no idea what Lionsgate was thinking, but he bares no resemblance to the beautiful boy that Suzanne Collins wrote about; none whatsoever.
These are my thoughts and they may be proven wrong when the movie actually comes out. But for the first time I'm going to follow one of my fandoms through to the very end no matter how awful the movies are. I didn't give the Harry Potter movies the chance they truly deserved, so I'm going to try to be different with The Hunger Games. The problem is that I have to wait so long, and having to wait to see how these actors portray the loves of my life is agonizing.
