  • tori - 13 years ago

    i know this is unrelated to the character but i think haley ramm or ariana grande should play the avox girl:]

  • tori - 13 years ago

    i think alexandra daddario should be katniss b/c shes an upcoming star and we should cont. to give her the chance

  • Bob - 13 years ago

    KAYA KAYA KAYA KAYA the only reason I would watch hunger games is if she's in it!

  • Lexi Rumney - 13 years ago

    i think alexandra daddario should be katniss.

  • Regan - 13 years ago

    Kaya! for sure Kaya! i love her so much and she's excatly how i imagnied Katniss!

  • liz - 13 years ago

    Yuck. None of these people seem tough enough to be believable in the role. I would look at the girl who played the lead role in Winter's Bone (dye her hair black). She's the right age, can act, and is tough (can pull off the Appalachian look--which is NOT delicate/girly-girl).

  • HGLovee - 13 years ago

    Thank God Kaya is in the lead! None of the others are up to the challenge, and we dont need some newbies trying to show off their wild side at a movie like this! Too many mistakes and flaws. Just Saying. =')

    KAYA EVERDEEN! KAYA EVERDEEN! =')

  • Grace - 13 years ago

    None. Hailee Steinfeld.

  • linn - 13 years ago

    I think the best person to play Katniss would be Lyndsy Fonseca. She looks the part and can act. She's perfect for the role.

  • angie - 13 years ago

    Please, none of these actresses suit the role. Keep looking and remember, Katniss is only 16 and is very under weight. Dakota Fanning is an amazing actress and would be perfect for the role. Just slap on some Miss Clairol and she's good to go.

  • Erik W. - 13 years ago

    I think, if we're going for a bad ass beauty with tough skin and ACTING abilities, EMMA STONE is the only choice! For those of you who don't know who that is, watch Zombieland. Once i finished the books and realized that they were going to make a cinematic version of this story, i knew right away who should be cast. Emma stone all the way, hands down.

  • NINASHOULDAWON - 13 years ago

    Ninja should've won!! Kaya can't act! Search Nina and find a video. She would make a much better Katniss. And if you're going only as far as looks, just as Katniss is in The Hunger Games, prep teams can practically TRANSFORM you, Nina can be transformed to fit Katniss PERFECTLY :]

  • Nicole - 13 years ago

    I really don't know who any of these girls are except NONE of them really fit the profile of Katniss. I do think that Alexandria probably could pull off Katniss. I just DO NOT want the girl from VD in this movie the last thing we need are fangirl's from VD going to see these movies JUST because she's in them and quite frankly I don't think she can pull off the role

  • Shelby - 13 years ago

    Whoever keeps saying Hannah Marks, no she is terrible.
    Same with anyone on this list
    I personally LOVE Willa Holland. She can act great, and she is pretty but no gorgeous (like nina), and she has the gray eyes and skin. You would just need to die her hair.
    Idk, she is just the closest thing to how i pictured katniss

  • Pamela - 13 years ago

    I don't really think any of these people fit... While I love Emma Watson, she is going to scream Hermione no matter what she does. (And her appearance doesn't fit "The Seam Look" anyway)

    And please not Alexandra Daddario! While she might look more the part, she ruined Annabeth Chase (from the Percy Jackson series) for me. I don't know if it's just because she looked nothing like Annabeth or because she acted nothing like Annabeth or just because she wasn't a good actress in general, I really don't want that to happen again.

    Whoever plays Katniss has to be spot on for this movie to work.

  • trina - 13 years ago

    Anna on Vampire Diaries (I think her name is Marese Jow) should play Katniss.

  • Marisa Bickford - 13 years ago

    No one famous should play Katniss or Peeta or Gale. I'm stern on this point. They should hold auditions open to the public... And get some press so I can see it. I... *sigh* can't even imagine this as a movie. I think it may ruin it.

  • kayla - 13 years ago

    What about Emily Browning? Any thoughts?

  • Maurice - 13 years ago

    Should have been Christian Serratos

  • Jaci Mancuso - 13 years ago

    i would say nina would be a good role for katniss, she's doing really good in the vampire diaries playing 2 parts as Elena and the evil Kathrine. To me she would be really great as the role of katniss

  • emily - 14 years ago

    okay, all the people out there who are saying that katniss needs to be an unknown actress, yeah you're right. kaya scolderio IS AN UNKNOWN ACTRESS. she just does british films. i've never heard of her and i think she'd make a perfect katniss. just give her some gray eye contacts and shes perfect.

  • Doc - 14 years ago

    Chloe Moretz would work for Katniss, this should be in pre-production enough time for her hair to grow back.

  • HGT.net - 14 years ago

    I think that unknown actors should be cast so that audiences can go into the theater without preconceptions about the movie.
    I would love to play Katniss. I have been in theater productions since I was little, and as soon as I read the first book, I felt very connected to the character. I am Katniss-age with dark hair, and if I got the part, or an audition, I would work very hard to make sure I portrayed her accurately. My recent pictures can be found here http://hunger-games.net/?p=522
    Do you think I look like her? Thank you.

  • Olive - 14 years ago

    none of them really seem like katniss to me although Alexandras eyes are pretty close

  • Ada - 14 years ago

    oh, please! NOT KAYA!!!!! Yuck. Eww. Just seen her background and some videos(SKINS). Ugh. So disappointing.

  • Emina - 14 years ago

    HANNAH MARKS , NOT ON HERE BUT ... PERFECT!

  • Caitlyn Swan - 14 years ago

    you people are so stupid. you can't say "she'd be perfect for the role!!" just because she looks like Katniss and the same goes for all the other characters. most of those girls are terrible actresses minus the one from the lovely bones but i know she can't pull off tough good enough. she's just too whimsical. now i would be a good actress and even though i've heard it 1000000000000 times, no, you can't just think you can play Katniss because you look like her. i'm an actual small-town actress that's been in commercials and the lead in numerous plays (i just got Marian in the music man yesterday) and i actually know how to use a bow and arrows. so stop being dumb and if you want a chance to be Katniss do some acting jobs.

  • Staci - 14 years ago

    Kaya should play Katniss. If not her then they should get someone like her. Just NOT Demi. She's a horrible actress and I would die if she played Katniss.

  • Maddie - 14 years ago

    Anyone who has seen series 4 of Skins should know that Kaya's acting skills have plummeted. None of these actors have the correct look - they don't have dark enough skin. They really ought to cast an unknown. Most of these choices are far too old anyway.

  • Olga - 14 years ago

    Kaya Scodelario, for sure. And she CAN act. The other actresses are already well-known or don't look like Katniss.

  • Abby - 14 years ago

    I dont think they should pick an unknown actor unless they can really act. I am in love with the books and I want people who don't like to read to love the movie. I want the viewers to love Katniss and personally a really great movie can be ruined by a really awful actress. An unknown could be a really awful choice and could not only ruin the movie but ruin the rest of the movies and the reputation of an absolutely wonderful series. If they pick an unknown, she better be the best actor you have ever seen.

  • judy - 14 years ago

  • Elizabeth - 14 years ago

    I should play Katniss!!! I've read the books five thousand times!! they are my favorite series!!

  • Evie - 14 years ago

    So, I just saw the article in the magazine, and they said they're considering Kaya and Alexandria because they were the top choices.

    That's...ridiculous. Have they not noticed that more people want an unknown Katniss than anything? There wasn't an unknown option, or I'm positive that would have beat the others by a long shot. If they put a well-known in the movie, it's dead. There's no hope for it. People don't want to go to the movie and say: "That's so-and-so from "insert movie/TV show here" and she's playing Katniss." They want to go and say: "That's Katniss!"

    Way to ruin the movie...

  • Anna - 14 years ago

    im sorry but none of these girls should play Katniss. I believe that Katniss should be an unknown actress so that she wont annoy any one. Also Camilla Belle would be good too.SHE NEEDS TO BE A UNKNOWN ACTRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • random - 14 years ago

    remember that katniss is short, ( one of the shortest of the 24 tributes in book 1) and she has long dark hair, olive skin, and gray eyes. i dont want any disney star or anyone who was just in a really popular movie (like kristen stewart.....) pllaying katniss.

    that is what ruins a perfectly good movie.

  • hungergamesisamazing - 14 years ago

    emily browning should be katniss. she already has dark hair and GRAY EYESSS. and she actually looks like a katniss. (its how i pictured katniss in all 3 books)

  • me - 14 years ago

    I TOTALY agree with you HGfan, she is just PERFECT for the role.

  • HGfan - 14 years ago

    Based on looks, Jessica Szohr should play Katniss.
    http://www.teenvogue.com/beauty/blogs/beauty/jessica-szohr-makeup0602-thumb-233x349.jpg

  • Jessy - 14 years ago

    sarah spearmon is playing katniss everdeen....i think her email is sarahspearmon20@gmail.com

  • Abby - 14 years ago

    Maya, seriously? Demi has fake hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. Katniss has pretty, natural black hair, OLIVE SKIN, and grey eyes.

  • Willa Holland - 14 years ago

    should play katniss. she looks JUST PERFECT!(she has the country-look, she is a GREAT actor and the first time i saw her i automaticly thought of katniss) and if kaja is going to play her, then i'm gonna DIE, she is a TERRIBLE actor, she just don't got the look. and, i mean have you seen her NOSE??? that is SO NOT KATNISS. IF KAJA IS GOING TO PLAY THE LOVLEY KATNISS THEN I'M NOT!!! GOING TO SEE THE MOVIE!! I WOULD RATHER KILL MYSELF.

  • gjori - 14 years ago

    i think WILLA HOLLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • elle - 14 years ago

    NONE OF THESE WORK! Saoirse ronan even if you died her hair and gave her contacts she wouldnt look anything like katniss. Demi lovato?! really some actors are best left on the disney channel. Nina dobrev isnt terrible but she is too pretty. Aleaxandra daddario is a terrible actress and not and she looks too old. Dont get me started on kaya! everything about her screams city girl and some things you cant cover up with make up. also (though i havent seen her act myself) I hear she is a terrible actress. I dont get why emma watson made the list! she looks nothing like katniss! she is a great actress but shes not katniss. they should just pick some unknown actress

  • Rod - 14 years ago

    KAYAAAAAA!!!!!!

  • Jason - 14 years ago

    I've always said they should do what they did for Harry Potter. Cast unknowns for the leads/teens and famous adult actors for the adults. That way the characters are much more believable cause their faces will be fresh in our minds.

  • Angie - 14 years ago

    Kaya Or Alexandra. They both have the look. Demi Lovato? Seriously?

  • Shivo - 14 years ago

    Kaya!! In my eyes she seems like the perfect katniss :D

  • Mairead - 14 years ago

    Hannah Marks would be perfect. She's 17. Her eyes are grey, but they look dark, just like Katniss' are described in Catching Fire. She has olive skin, she can sing.....and she's WAY better than Kaya, who couldn't act her way out of a paper bag! Eugh!

  • Julia - 14 years ago

    None of them! I think that they should cast an unknown, and probably do open casting calls. None of these work. They either don't fit the part, can't act (Demi Lovato especially...seriously that smile annoys the heck out of me), or are too old. So no,no,no. An unknown please!

  • Alyssa - 14 years ago

    Alexandra just seems like a Katniss to me, plus she's not very well known, plus she can act.
    But who put Demi Lovato? seriously?

  • Marissa - 14 years ago

    I really like Kaya, but Lily Collins would have been a good option, also. :)

  • Susie - 14 years ago

    Just not Demi Lovato...she horrible...

  • Jenna - 14 years ago

    Kaya!
    She's a great actress. Saorise and Emma are amazing, too, but they don't have Katniss' look. The rest are mediocre actresses. Kaya may not look exactly like Katniss to some of you, but she's close enough and her acting is superb. And Katniss is going to need some great emotional acting.

  • Deja White - 14 years ago

    Aleandra would be perfect at the part i believe i love all the other actress' but i dont see myself wanting them for the part as much as alexandra and her whole persona doesnt portray a childly figure i believe shes more of a mature actor and the rest are either vampired up--->> nothing compared to this. Child stars. Or they look like a 14 year old.!

  • Amanda - 14 years ago

    LOL Maya, did you ever even read the books? Suzanne Collins reiterates multiple times that Katniss has the classic "Seam Look." That basically means, she's olive skinned, dark haired, and light eyed. Not pale and Snow-White-looking.

  • Maya - 14 years ago

    i think demi would be perfect for the role. i mean she's supposed to be a slender, pale skinned girl. Demi is very pale, and she can act her butt off. it would be a great chance for us to see her do something real for a change.

  • mockingjay - 14 years ago

    OH MY GOD! WHY AND HOW DID DEMI LAVATO GET IN THERE?!?

  • Cami - 14 years ago

    Katniss is such a hard character to portray!!!! For me either Kaya or Alexandra, because they both have light eyes and colored contacts make it harder to see.

  • Karlee - 14 years ago

    Kaya!! She has the look down pat. KAYA!! Nina is too vampire aquainted already, it should be someone who isn't well known.

  • Mairead - 14 years ago

    Eugh! Not Kaya. She can't act!
    Nina Nina Nina.
    Although, I'd be okay with Daddario...I suppose...

    NINA!!!

  • nikki - 14 years ago

    none of them seem like katnisss to me

  • Em - 14 years ago

    KAYA KAYA KAYA!
