'The Hunger Games' Casting Update: Paula Malcomson & John C. Reilly

[TheKnifeofTheDead]

Also the girl that's talking should read the books she doesn't know nothing about the hunger games

[TheKnifeofTheDead]

I don't think he's the perfect haymitch..... But oh well he's good enough any way Jennifer Lawrence is the perfect katniss I LOVE her!!!!

[SoldierEverdeen98]

u can kinda tell these people havent read the book.... Mrs. Everdeen wasntt terrified for her children... she was devastated and hardly spoke...

[thenextbroadwaystar1]

This is why they need to get people who have actually read the books to make these. Recently lost her husband.......5 months is recent.....5 years, not so much. And there were 2 other victors before Haymitch. He's just the only one alive

[MsBuchnerd]

@thenextbroadwaystar1

Actually there was only ONE other victor before Haymitch... Not that you're wrong about needing people, who read the book... -.-

[thenextbroadwaystar1]

@MsBuchnerd ah sorry, this is my first time reading the series so I don't remember everything.

[MsBuchnerd]

@thenextbroadwaystar1

No problem, it's just a very tiny detail ;)

[LIVEloveLAUGHdieXx]

Always imagined Timothy Spall as Haymitch

[MusicRoxGurl]

Haymitch was the only victor from district 12 that was still LIVING. If you had read the books, you'd know that in total the district had one other, deceased victor in times past. 

[Snowbuni00random]

Read the books before you make a bullshit video...Haymitch was not the only person in district 12 to win but is the only one ALIVE! There were 2 victors...

[13nicopico]

@Snowbuni00random I WAS THINKING THAT. These people have to read the book BEFORE they jump to conclusions

[TheHG12]

We already know that Paula is the mom and Woody Harrison is Haymicth!

[Sevipants19]

There were 2 winners. Haymitch is the only living. Haha. I never thought I'd be correcting people. It's fun knowing about this book.

[Smilezyz]

@Sevipants19 excactly wat i was thinking

[LaVidaClay]

"She recently lost her husband" -- 5 years is recent? O.o

[lovemsally]

false. he is not the only winner. hes the only alive one. but there had been one precious one.

[MsBuchnerd]

The Trailer is SO AWESOME!

[Witnessteam]

bad for haymitch!!!!! 

[neszi3]

There's other one who won the Hunger Games before Katniss and Peeta. It just so happen that that one is dead. It was mentioned in Catching Fire, as I remember.

[PettryGaming]

@neszi3 Haymitch, is alive. There was another.

[goldenlover20]

they better not choose him! he looks nothin like my picture(in my mind) of Haymitch

[2123bella32122]

um... Haymitch is not the only victor....

[216Dancer]

The book says, word for word, "Then he reads the list of past District 12 victors. In seventy-four years, we have had exactly two. Only one is still alive."

[9bluebell99]

No Haymitch is the only won to win from District 12 before Katniss & Peeta so ya'll are messed up.

[misszebrasoup]

@9bluebell99 MAYBE U SHOUD REREAD

[soph2100]

@9bluebell99 did u not read the book? it said that there was 2 winners in 74 years but only one is alive (Haymitch)

[StraitUpDamnStrait]

cosmo sumthing won the hunger games before haymitch

[bobtheburritoman]

1:11 She said o reily. hahahhaa

[littlescotgirls]

Haymich isn't the only person to have won someone else did in the early hunger games but was too old and died

[MIAisBOREDx]

Have they even read the books?

[wilnik12345654321]

channing tatum should be gale

[flowerpower1800]

I want will farell to play Haymitch. c'mon you know it would be pretty awesome.

[Colie448197]

I think John C. Reilly is too much of a comedian than an action actor. He's one of my favorite comedians after Step Brothers, but I really don't think this is the movie for him, sadly...I'm happy with the man who currently has the role of Haymitch.

[spazpiggy]

NOOOOoooo he can Not play Haymitch plz NO!!!

i thought they were going to say he was going to be president Snow

[darkxsorrowfulxtears]

O.M.G! If John C. Reily played Haymitch I would die of pure pleasure!!!

[heyhihowyadurn13]

john c rieley would make a perfect drunk, but johnny depp would be the best actor for the part. cuz haymitch is pretty much captain jack sparrow with a different costume on haha

[RascaleTV]

Am I the only one who noticed that she got it wrong... Haymitch was the only LIVING person to win from district 12... Not the only one! :P

[Luv2bBookObsessed]

I think she's a good choice for their mother.

[jojoerss]

JOHNNY DEPP AS HAYMITCH!!!!!

Like if you agree ;D

[Halo3GirlxSniperChic]

@jojoerss um i like the guy from house ^.^

[PrincessAllie98]

I think Charlie Sheen should play Haymitch... lol

[Dangalyssa1]

Woody's playing Haymitch!!

Not who i imagined, but he'll do good. And its a big step up from john.

[HaylieEatsPotatoes54]

NONO NO TO THIS GUY PLAYING HAYMITCH !

[TheSunnRose]

omg...who will be Thresh? and Rue?????

[gaelenmarek]

Uh no there where 2 victors from 12

[carlyle0229]

whose gonna be Cato? i was wondering that... i hope hes not gonna look like a fag, or something, he has to look weathered

[DanBonRP]

i hate you hollywood. prim dies in the 3rd book and peeta gets brainwashed and trys to kill katnis

[TheSunnRose]

@DanBonRP aww....Spoiler....I'm only in the 2nd book

[shewolf2themaX]

haymitch wasn't the only tribute to win the games before katniss and peeta!! remember in the book it said he was the only LIVING victor.

[334honda]

@shewolf2themaX There were games 50 yrs before Haymitch. There may have been someone else but dead before Katniss. I would think Haymitch had a mentor, like he was to Katniss and Petta.

[AnjuSaitenKurada]

I don't want HIM playing Haymitch! That's an aweful fucking choice! You know who I think would make a pretty good Haymitch? Hugh Laurie. Period. He has that angry look that I imagine Haymitch having, he plays a rather good drunk. I think he'd be a perfect match.

[vi3tpunkgal]

@AnjuSaitenKurada whoa! Calm down, He's only been OFFERED the role we don't know yet if he'll accept the part or not :/

[Sufflesgirl327]

@AnjuSaitenKurada I totally agree with you. I'd say Hugh Laurie or Robert Downey Jr. Now THEY would be a really good Heymitch

[MavsZane3]

I vote yes for john he is the perfect actor to be Haymitch.

[MrPoneU]

ok mom, horrible haymitch

[Hailegirl10]

Ooooh I kinda like John playing as haymitch it wouldn't my that he was off the vampire movie mr.crepslry that was a good movie I vote sure

[CJNM947]

Actually there were two District 12 winner. Haymitch is one of them, but the other died before 74th Hunger Games and we didn't know much about him/her. Get your facts right

[Michiel1604]

march 23th 2012 is going to be a big big big day.

effie t.

[Dangalyssa1]

I vote no for John.

People..

You need to understand that Haymitch is much more then just a drunk.

His character changes every book..

If you read it correctly, or just read it at all you'd know that.

Elizabeth banks would be good for Effie.

I'm fine with jennifer as katniss now.

But i don't think i'll ever be over the fact that Josh is Peeta..

[YouAreNotJoshHutch]

john c. reily is so ugly XD its pretty funny

[juliasnicole]

Awesome actor but I didn't expect Haymitch to look like John...more of a...idk?

[stefanieluvschocolat]

I could picture John C. Reily as Haymitch

[Danetto]

wow john c reilly! finally an actor you actually KNOW

[shznoorbust]

That guy CANNOT be Haymitch, he just not him. He needs to be completely unknown...

[PatsieVideosDoom]

I don't like how he looks, but I know he would suit the part. Also there's news going around that John was never offered the part? No idea. It's just something I read off when i was looking for some latest HG news earlier.

PS; I like Dana Ward compared to other news girls. This chick is boring to watch.

[ConnoRocks10]

yes!! my favorite series is now a movie

[pen817]

can't wait til it comes out

[Cassidyequalsinsane]

Who else can see Robert downey doing a stage dive? And he was an addict

[Markunator]

@Cassidyequalsinsane Robert Downey, Jr. won't have time to be in this movie, because he's going to be playing Iron Man in "The Avengers". Sorry!

[TheoryProductions01]

John C Reilly would be a good drunk Haymitch....but im afraid of whats gonna happen when he tries and sobers up

[ladybug213213]

is josh hutcherson playing peeta?

[TheoryProductions01]

@ladybug213213 yes

[iocean92]

ok i have never read the books but seeing all the talk about them makes me interested. worth the read?

[TheoryProductions01]

@iocean92 yes! they're awesome...but they start a little slow

[DandelionDarkAngel]

actually he is the only live victor. there probably was one more in like the first 25 hunger games. katniss actually mentions there were two before she goes to her hunger games, but only haymitch was alive.

[katwitchy]

I think I like!

[MsBuchnerd]

"Only person ever from district 12 to win the hunger games" Uhm WRONG!

[AnnabethChase17]

@MsBuchnerd well she doesn't want to give the plot away, and I think she was talking about BEFORE Katniss and Peeta ;)

[MsBuchnerd]

@AnnabethChase17

NOOOO, I didn't mean Katniss and Peeta! There was another victor from district 12... It's just that he/she is dead when the 74th Hunger Games start! uhmppf -.-

[AnnabethChase17]

@MsBuchnerd .... really?.... hm... I haven't read the book in a looooooooooong time so.... I'll have it re-read that part. Now that you mention it, I think I remember something like that....

[Intronetz]

@MsBuchnerd BEFORE Katniss

[MsBuchnerd]

@Intronetz

I know BEFORE Katniss he still wasn't the only victor from 12! He's just the only victor, that still lives -.- DUH!

[loco4horses4evr]

@MsBuchnerd I know!!!!!!

[TheMelanieParkes]

@MsBuchnerd i know... sooo funny

[Taylor75761]

@MsBuchnerd lol ya it's wrong.

[Witnessteam]

@MsBuchnerd no shes right he is the first one until the end he is the only person to win from district twelve in the book until the end

[MsBuchnerd]

@Witnessteam

No she's NOT right. Haymitch wasn't the only one... It's just that the other person, who has won is already dead, when the first book starts. But there HAS been someone else!

[haybaybayily]

@MsBuchnerd ...uhm actually true? hes the only one...

[MsBuchnerd]

@haybaybayily

He's not -.- How often do I need to explain that? He's the only ALIVE person, who's ever won THG, but there has been someone before him. It's just that this person is already dead, when book 1 starts!

[shelbiicrawford]

NOOO HUGH LAURIE AS HAYMTICH!

[migator66]

i dont see him as haymitch at all, but i'm not one to get so pissed i wont watch them movie. he will probably play haymitch just fine.

[silyrabbit67]

As long as Katniss isn't blonde I'm on board for all the picks so far :)

P.S. It's CAPrica, not capRICA.

[DoubleAAz]

i dont like the guy there using for haymitch...its going to kill the whole setting and feeling..he's more comediac...not serious...

[silyrabbit67]

@DoubleAAz He played a serious character in Chicago very well.

[DoubleAAz]

@silyrabbit67 I'm sure he did, just he ruined the "Cirque Du Freak" movie...the movie was more of a comedy then seriousness, and those 13 books got me through 8th grade (not that it was bad or anything, just it got me started with reading). Last thing i want is him ruining this book for me, because it has so much potential!

[unedria]

wrong, one other person from the district 12 also won but they died before any of the events in the book.

[DeSmurfen125]

I'm gonna read the book now. Just gotten it from the library and know reading! :P
