Lionsgate is not messing around when it comes to 'Hunger Games' news today. To add to the casting of Amanda Plummer and the shortlist of actors' names for the upcoming sequel 'Catching Fire,' we've got news that the studio is already looking for a director for the final installments of the franchise.
And the 'Hunger Games' sequel news has officially started rolling out with as much regularity as the daily mail delivery. The latest: Lionsgate's shortlist of talent includes Melissa Leo, Tony Shalhoub, and possible contender for the role of Finnick Odair -- Sam Claflin. Sam who now?
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' is on a roll with casting. Following news of Jena Malone and Philip Seymour Hoffman joining the cast, we've gotten word that veteran actress Amanda Plummer has also signed on for the role of Wiress in the upcoming sequel.
It had been rumored for some time, but now it can be confirmed: Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman has been cast as Plutarch Heavensbee in ‘The Hunger Games’ sequel ‘Catching Fire.’
After a lot of rumors about who was getting the role, it now appears official that Jena Malone has been picked to play Johanna Mason in the 'Hunger Games' sequel 'Catching Fire.' But will she get naked onscreen?
Time to pack it in, Jena Malone. It looks like newcomer Zoe Aggeliki is giving Malone a run for her money for the role of Johanna Mason in 'The Hunger Games' sequel. But who is this Zoe Aggeliki anyway?
There's a whole lot of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' casting rumors going around, and at this point it's hard to say what's real and what isn't. Though they listed a number of Hollywood hunks, Finnick Odair has yet to be cast, nor have we heard if Phillip Seymour Hoffman is officially on board. But the latest word is that Jena Malone is up for the role of Johanna Mason.
Though no actor has been locked down for any of the new characters entering 'The Hunger Games' sequel 'Catching Fire,' there's been an awful lot of rumoring about who's joining the cast. The latest word is that Mia Wasikowska and Zoe Aggeliki are up for the role of Johanna Moore.
'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' will light up IMAX screens next November. The sequel to this year's 'The Hunger Games' is currently in production under the direction of Francis Lawrence, and he's been tinkering with those fancy IMAX cameras.
Franchise films often cast great actors for small roles. It usually means a big payday for the actor, and it gives the film more credibility. So it's no surprise that 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' has offered a role to Philip Seymour Hoffman. But he'd also have to sign on for the sequel...
