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.
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...
'The Hunger Games' continued its domination of the 2012 MTV Movie Awards with yet another win - this time for Best On-Screen Transformation, won by Elizabeth Banks for her performance as Effie Trinket.
Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron (stars of 'Prometheus') presented the 2012 MTV Movie Award for Best Fight and after some comments that he should announce the award - because he's a guy and he's Irish - Charlize kicked his ass and presented the Best Fight award herself. And she presented it to the stars of 'The Hunger Games.'
Though he was up against some stiff competition - including Ryan Gosling and Daniel Radcliffe - 'Hunger Games' star Josh Hutcherson won Best Male Performance at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards.
No one expected 'The Hunger Games' to do as well as it did. Sure, everyone was expecting a big hit, but no one was expecting the major blockbuster numbers the film pulled off when it was released back in March. Naturally, Lionsgate did the fiscally (if not creatively) responsible thing: they put a sequel on the front burner and turned up the heat. Today, it was revealed that 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' is set to begin filming in Atlanta this July.
One of the big casting decisions for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' (as it is now so artfully titled) is the role of Finnick Odair, a survivor of previous games who's called back in for one more fight. Supposedly the choice is down to three actors: Armie Hammer, Garrett Hedlund, and Taylor Kitsch.
