WE are now getting word that both Paula Malcomson and John C. Reilly could be joining the cast. Paula, who recently starred in Syfy's Battlestar Gallactica prequel Caprica, has accepted the role to play Katniss and Primrose's mother. In the books, the girls mom is terrified of her girls joining in the Hunger games after recently losing her husband.

REilly, on the other hand, is said to have been offered the role of Hay-mitch Abernathy, a drunk who serves as a mentor to Kat-niss Everdeen and Peeta Mel-lark, after being the only person EVER from District 12 to win the Hunger Games.

JOHNNY DEPP AS HAYMITCH!!!!!

Like if you agree ;D

[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...

[Shoujohoney8]

Is this girl even a fan? There WAS another winner from district 12 before Haymitch. =_="

[hiirule2]

I swear the was another winner from district they were just dead?

[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!!!!

@thenextbroadwaystar1

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

[thenextbroadwaystar1]

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

@thenextbroadwaystar1

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

[SoldierEverdeen98]

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

[13nicopico]

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

[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
