THE 411 ON THE HUNGER GAMES MOVIE

I dont' know about you all but I've really been trying to keep up on the Hunger Games movie casting since I am very protective of this book series.  I am mostly pleased with who Lionsgate has chosen for the cast but I will say that the casting of Lenny Kravitz as Cinna is throwing me for a loop...to put it kindly.
Take a look through the pictures of the cast and let me know who you are excited about or who you wish they could recast!

"You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope."

"She has no idea. The effect she can have."

Jennifer Lawrence is a beautiful golden bombshell!  Here she is gracing the cover of a couple magazines and I have a feeling that we will see her on the cover of many more in the years to come.

CINNA
(being played by:)
{I WISH it were Hugh Dancy! (shown above)}                                  Instead, the casting crew picked...LENNY KRAVITZ

"District 12: Where you can starve to death in safety."

Below are just a few photos of the beautiful landscape and scenery of North Carolina so you can get the image of what the arena and district 12 will look like in the movie.

According to local officials, the small town (its population is less than 2,000) is being transformed into the country of Panem for the big-screen adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games.

 "I keep wishing I could think of a way...to show the capitol they don't own me. That I'm more than a piece in their games."

I can't wait to see this movie...who else is excited?
