    Can't wait to see the chemistry of these two brilliant actors (Jennifer and Josh). From their past performances ,they exude an innate sense of toughness and tenderness, humility and heart that will propel the series and emotionally engage the viewer. I am certain film audiences will embrace this on-screen couple in the same way readers have already come to love Katniss and Peeta!

    Look, i think every girl imagined Peeta this way in the beginning. A boy who is cute, and could be her best friend. But as soon as they find out that Peeta will be with Katniss, their view changes and Peeta suddenly becomes every girls dream guy. Besides, who wants the main character to settle for cute, when she could have beautiful with just a little tweak of their imagination.

    ugh...i HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE josh hutcherson (or w.e. his name is) for Peeta...HATE.. They should have used someone like Alex Pettyfer or Lucas Till for this role..like someone that's actually ATTRACTIVE... and blonde...

    This cast sucks!!

  • sophie - 13 years ago

    OK, ANY ONE INTERESTED TO HEAR THIS?????
    MADGE ISN'T IN THE FILMS.
    THAT'S RIGHT, THEY'VE TAKEN HER OUT!!!
    APPARENTLY, IN THE DRAFT, KATNISS GIVES PRIM THE MOCKINGJAY PIN, AND PRIM GIVES IT BACK TO HER RIGHT BEFORE SHE GOES TO THE CAPITOL, THEN KATNISS LEAVES IT WITH RUE WHEN SHE DIES, AND GETS A BRAND NEW ONE WHEN SHE RETURNS TO 12.
    What do you think of that?
    BECAUSE I'M PRETTY ANNOYED. (and wondering how in the name of Mockingjay their gonna pull it off without MADGE)
    MADGE IS KEY.

    I agree with Adriana, I think Liam should be Peeta. I thought Peeta was supposed to be attractive. I loved Peeta in the book, I don't think I'll love him in the movie, since it is not what I pictured at all.

  • elle - 13 years ago

    I think the carachters are perfect!!! even though some dont origanally look like they descriebed in the movie I think its going to be a fantastic movie. Plus' the author herself choosed the caracters and I think that the look his not has importnat has how they play the role and seriously I Josh IS peeta! have u seen him in interviews?! He has all the same qualities thats peeta has and I if u ask me is physicall aperance is also perfect. he is strong but also vulnerable and he is soooo hot!!! I think people should wait and see the movie before they judge because since suzan collins said she wanted josh to be peeta and jennifer to be katniss it will be just has good has her amazing books. And talking about Katniss I find the casting is just right because she has this strong face and she is also an amazing actress. But i find that president snow, haymitch, effie, cato, clove and foxface are the ones i most likely recongnize. thought I would had imagine prim a little younger but i think that her expression is great because i dont think that she should be presented has someone vulnerable because she his a fighter. But in general I love the choices and i really look forward to the movie!! I CANT WAIT!!! (and I Just looooooove josh hutchterson! Isnt he adoorable ♥♥♥ BIG FAN!)

    People Please Stop Hating. Once You See The Movie You'll Take It Back. He's An Amazing Actor And He Can Pull It Off. and Fyi He Is Blonde! {Well After They Bleached It} Regardless He's An Amazing And Perfect Choice For The Role.

    But think about it Aly:
    Peeta is a baker's son, he's spent his whole life eating carbs and carrying huge bread trays around, so he's gonna be pretty muscled!
    And in the 1st book it says that Katniss has seen him carry huge bags of flour around the market, and he put on 15 pounds of muscle in 3 weeks to look the part, and I don't think he did that entirely voluntarily!!!!

  • Faith - 13 years ago

    OK guys this isn't that bad!!!! I mean I think that he would be a good Peeta, he seems to have a good personality to pull off Peeta. I was concerned a little about the hair but I did look at the pictures on Google and he looked totally different, in a good way :) We haven't even seen the movie yet! He might surprise all you people who are against him playing Peeta.

  • Aly - 13 years ago

    I had my heart set on Peeta the second I read The Hunger Games. This Isn't Peeta. Peeta would be more like the actor portraying Cato, or Alex Pettyfer, he is supposed to look thinner, and simple. He looks more muscled than Gale's actor. That's just messed up. He does look better than expected. But he is no Peeta by any means.

    Everyone who says that peeta has blonde hair and tht josh isn't perfect HE CAN DYE HIS HAIR BLONDE GOD he can put in colored contactss have u ever thought of tht???

    Everyone who says that peeta has blonde hair and tht josh isn't perfect HE CAN DYE HIS HAIR BLONDE GOD he can put in colored contactss have u ever thought of tht???

  • Sophie - 13 years ago

    OK, if you look at the knew pictures on this website of Josh blonde and not looking like he fell on an electric fence, he's beginning to look like Peeta, and in an interview with Suzanne Collins, she says that his audition was absolutely brilliant, " If Josh had been bright purple and had wings and gave that audition, I'd have been like, 'Cast him! We can work around the wings.' He was that good" That's what she said, so even if he isn't an exact replica of Peeta, Suzanne Collins seems to think he can act Peeta......

  • claudia - 13 years ago

    nopee....i think everyones good BUT PEETA!! im like in love with the one in the book!! i would know!!

  • jason - 13 years ago

    wat the heck peeta has blond hair and looks nothing like that weirdo if that guy could play anyone it might be katniss' stylist but NOT peeta!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Molly - 13 years ago

    U need to remember that they r going to hav make up!!!!!!!! In my opinion they r going to look exactly like the characters in the book! Look at jennifer! She looks just like katniss!

  • Alayna - 13 years ago

    NO NO NO NO NO comments saying he doesnt look like peeta. he is gorgeous and the most beautiful person ever! its not even about what the cast looks like! its about how they bring that character to life! its really hard to give someone with dark hair and dark eyes, blonde hair and blue eyes! josh hutcherson was born for the role of Peeta!

    p.s. who gives a shit on what his face structure is? he is beautiful. im pretty sure they cant find the actual peeta, but josh is pretty close personality wise. so stfu.

  • Meck - 13 years ago

    ........it's called hair-dye and contacts. Though if I'm not mistaken, Gale was the one with blue eyes, not Peeta. But I couldn't be certain, it's been about 2 years since I read the first book. Snow is alright, he could flop or succeed. Katniss (well there's always going to be butthurt people when it comes to the main character [except I think in Daniel Radcliffe's case]) I'm giving a chance.

  • Sophie Abrahams - 13 years ago

    Seriously? what were they thinking casting Josh Hutcherson as Peeta?
    I don't mean to be rude, but his face shape is all wrong! And on Google, you can see pictures of him blonde, they've even messed that up! And what are they going to do about his eyes?
    Some of the actors, like the girl who are playing Prim and the girl who's playing Rue, are perfect, but they didn't get it right with President Snow, Gale, Katniss or Peeta.

  • Adriana - 13 years ago

    I feel like the two actors that are suppose to be peeta and gale should be switched because liam looks so much more like peeta than josh does and the other way around. Like what the heck the characters look nothing like i'd imagine them

  • hjean2985 - 13 years ago

    He's perfect! Just picture him with lighter hair. His face is exactly how I imagined Peeta. He's got a sweet disposition but enough edge to pull off Peeta's protective side and his hijacked mess later on! So excited!

  • Sydney - 13 years ago

    No way is that Peeta! Even if they dye his hair... His facial structure is all wrong!

  • Stevil3000 - 13 years ago

    Once he goes blond I think the Doubting Thomases will be sold. Patience people, this is Hollywood. They bring dinosaurs to life and make people fly. I think physically he's perfect for the role.

  • Shelly - 13 years ago

    What the heck???? That is not Peeta!!!! If you want to make a good movie you should make the characters look exactlly like they are in the book (when told what they look like). The author told the readers that Peeta had blond hair and blue eyes! Not to be mean but this wont be a good movie...

  • Sarah - 13 years ago

    OMG THAT SO IS NOT PEETA!!! in the book it says peeta has blonde hair and blue eyes!! i dont want to be mean to Josh Hutcherson but U R NOT PEETA!!!

  • Sky - 13 years ago

    so disapointing...... i imagined peeta with a roundish face, and peeta does NOT have black hair! its blonde
    !

  • Sachelys - 13 years ago

    I love the characters my two favorite actors Josh Hutcherson & Alexander Ludwig. :p!!!!!!

  • CiCi - 13 years ago

    I LOVE JOSH! HE IS EXACTLY HOW I IMAGINED HIM I DIDN'T EVEN IMAGINE HIM BLONDE. I IMAGINED JOSH!!!! HE ACTS JUST LIKE PEETA!!!!

  • Jewels - 13 years ago
