My Way into the Story: Part 2

So I found them. And they are brilliant. OK, that statements a bit too egotistical. But I like my choices. And I hope that the film gets them at least close.

President Snow - Matt Riedy

 Picture him with a grimace and spurting blood. I pictured President Snow suave but manipulative; lanky but firm. He has to come off as a man who wants power but somehow humble too so we understand why the Capitol adores him. Tough job and this guy has the look.

Cinna - Hugh Dancy

 I was having the hardest time deciding on a Cinna. Then I was tooling IMDB and found a picture of Hugh. I literally gasped out loud about the perfection. For me, this is not only the look I pictured, but I wouldn't mind if they cast him! He's a brilliant actor. If you don't believe me, watch the movie 'Adam'.

Finnick Odair - Luke Mitchell

 This is the best I could find. He's a little too surfer, pretty boy than what I pictured, but Finnick DID grow up by the sea (AND uses a trident). I also pictured him a little more brunette, but not dark. He's suave, but has insecurities and a humbleness (eventually). Anyone have a better suggestion? I'm open.

So, there you go. I don't want to get into the prep team or any of the other tributes or side characters, just the important ones. I think I found a fairly good mirror of my imagination. Apparently Lionsgate has pushed the film to a 2013 release date, but I'm optimistic. If they can get this movie out before the end of the world (i.e. December 2012), that would be golden.
