More Casting News For The Hunger Games Movie

Golden-locked Jennifer Lawrence has indeed landed the lead role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movie trilogy. And that’s not all! Another blond, Hunter Parrish — whom you may have seen playing Meryl Streep’s son in It’s Complicated or as Silas on Weeds — is in talks to star as Peeta Mellark. Peeta is described as having “ashy blond hair that falls in waves over his forehead.” Some believe the book makes a point of contrasting Katniss and Peeta’s darkness and lightness, but Jennifer and Hunter almost look like brother and sister. The hair and makeup people have their work cut out for them.
