It's a full-fledged casting extravaganza on the Hunger Games front. Clevver Movies has the low-down on the latest tributes to join the star-studded line-up.

You're back at Clevver Movies. I'm Chelsea Cannel at our Hollywood studio with the Hunger Games casting round-up. With production set to commence very soon, Lionsgate is choosing to continue its current strategy of casting unknowns. Among the tributes joining Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson in the Hunger Games arena will be Chris Mark and Jacqueline Emerson, both of whom will represent for District 5. Mark has a resume that boast a wide range of roles as a stunt actor. Emerson has far fewer credits, but her role as Foxface will place her as one of the most featured tributes in the entire film.

Also just cast were the tributes from districts 6,7 and 8. District 6's tributes will be played by two actors with stunt-heavy expertise, Kara Petersen and Ashton Moio, while 7 will be repped by two up and comers Sam Ly and Leigha Hancock. This film actually marks Hancock's first-ever film. Rounding things out for Panem's District 8 in the latest casting news are Samuel Tan and Mackenzie Lintz. Both of the District 8 tributes are fairly unknown, but according to a source via MTV.com, Mackenzie Lintz actually screen tested for "True Grit," so she must be pretty amazing.

The Hunger Games reaping is still not over though -- we are still waiting on casting news for districts 2, 9 and 10, as well the important role of Haymitch. These actors and actresses will join the previously named talent, as well as Elizabeth Banks and Liam Hemsworth. This film will take a look at North America following a time of unrest, war and disaster, in which two young representatives from each district of the new country, Panem, are forced to fight to the death in the Hunger Games. Who would you like to see cast in the role of Haymitch? Charlie Sheen and John C. Reily are a few of the names that have been tossed into the casting convo, but hit the comments section with your choice.
