Hunger Games News


 The article is courtesy of Hypable.com:

In case you haven’t noticed, let us be the first to tell you: The Hunger Games casting announcements have been appearing left and right. Today we’ve learned of three new people cast for the film!

NY Mag’s Vulture, which broke word of John C. Reilly playing Haymitch, has new casting information:
Vulture has been able to glean that a passel of offers have gone out to talent, most notably to Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci and Lenny Kravitz. We’re told that Harrelson’s offer is to play the role of the Head Gamemaker, Seneca Crane, of the 74th Hunger Games.
One can imagine that after starring as the aesthetically obsessed art director Nigel in The Devil Wears Prada, Tucci would make for an excellent Cinna; then again, he’s so imperious, Tucci could be a great President Snow, too. And as to Kravitz’s involvement, we’re at a loss, but we’ll keep you posted.
Shortly after Vulture reported this news, movie insider Larry Richman reported the same three names had been brought on board. As we’ve told you in the past, Richman’s sources have been 100% reliable so far.
In Vulture’s same article they discuss how secret casting negotiations have been:
We’re told that not only are Hollywood agents being forced to sign nondisclosure agreements in order to receive offers for clients, but that even their assistants are being forced to sign NDAs, too.
