I am rooting for Josh. I have been a huge fan of his ever since his debut in Little Manhattan. And unlike Alex Pettyfer, he’s likeable and appreciative of his career and how far he’s come. Aside from that, the kid can actually act. Unlike Alex Pettyfer…who can’t even act his way out of a paper bag…

please Gary Ross, if you are reading this, give him the role!!! He\’s a good actor and he already cares about the character\’s evolution during the third book! He\’s just perfect for Peeta.

He would be a terrible Peeta. No, just no.

Josh seems perfect as Peeta, even down to the descriptive details of appearance from the novel. HOWEVER, put him next to Jennifer Lawrence and it\’s all wrong. She can\’t make a good Katniss next to him. Even though she\’s young, Hailey Steinfeld needs to be Katniss. She\’s got the perfect look of, \’I\’m a pretty girl and you\’d never expect it but I\’ve the potential to rip your head off if I have to\’.

None of them! They are all too old. Hailee Steinfeld all the way, and for Peeta, Jeremy Irvine. He\’s in the new Steven Spielberg film War Horse. Saw his stills and thought of Peeta instantly.

I don\’t know. I\’m a HUGE Jennifer Lawrence fan and an equally HUGE Hailee Steinfeld fan. I\’m rooting for Hailee because I think she\’ll be great but at the same time I\’d love Jen too.

One thing\’s for sure, though: no way in God\’s name should Alex Pettyfer be Peeta. I\’m sorry, that is a freaking mistake. And as much as I seriously adore (better to say I absolutely love) Jhutch, I don\’t think he\’s right. I\’m very torn between their prospective casting choices. I hope to God they don\’t screw up.

Just remember that these aren\’t their only choices for casting. These are only some names that have come up. I\’m sure they have a very long list for both Katniss and Peeta in case their first choices pass or there are scheduling issues.

He just wants to make out with Jennifer Lawrence.

Jennifer Lawrence is an amazing actress. I started reading The Hunger Games books because of her. And I can totally see her in the character, especially because of the many nuances and expressions and feelings that she\’ll have to portrait as Katniss. Finally, a great actress hired for a great part. I\’ve seen her movies, such as The Poker House, The Burning Plain, The Beaver and Winter\’s Bone… she\’s all about acting, and she doesn\’t even have to say anything with words, because her eyes, her face, her body act, too!

His Spiderman audition tape was comedy gold.

He can act and he\’s a hard worker (so he\’s two ahead of Pettyfer already), but his look is all wrong with Jennifer Lawrence.

Pettyfer better not get this role!!! I just had to suffer through Beastly with Vanessa Hudgens and Pettyfer and it was excruciating for so many reasons (there are the obvious ones) BUT he is such a TERRIBLE actor! I cannot express this enough…horrible. With every movement it was as though he was letting us know \”I\’m acting, this is acting, we are acting\”…he overacted and was phony.

Either Josh or Alex P. for Peeta.
& newcomer/unknown Lauren Whiteley for Katniss.
Look at her info and pics:

She\’s Like the perfect actress for Katniss.
Lauren WHiteley!

Jennifer looks way too old to be Katniss, it wouldn\’t work with those two paired together either. I pick Josh as Peeta and think they need to find a better female lead.

nonono. Alex. He\’s an actor so what if he has attitude he\’s a ACTOR so i\’m pretty sure he can act like Peeta.

Let\’s put it this way: I love Alex Pettyfer to death, but he\’s too old for this part. I love Josh Hutcherson just as much, and he\’s only about 2-3 years older than the character. But hey, that\’s what make-up is for.

The girl, personally, I haven\’t heard of her, so i can\’t judge; I hope she does her role well.

Oh, and I don\’t even want to get started on who they casted for Gale. It\’s just….no.

I actually think Josh Hutcherson DOES fit the part. But that\’s my opinion…

Have people seen Alex Pettyfer act?! No offense but I strongly disagree with everyone who wants him as Peeta. I absolutely LOVE Josh, he is a down to earth kind of person and he really loves being different types of characters. And he\’s good at it too! I think he\’s totally perfect for the role and in time people will realize that too. He has Peeta written all over him. His personality matches perfectly. His hair is starting to grow a bit, just add not too blonde hair dye, not too noticable contacts and voila! There\’s our Peeta.

I personally think that Nina dobrev from the vampire diaries would have been perfect for the role of Katniss Everdeen, she is an AMAZING actress and has the brown hair and everything. Jennifer Laurence is all wrong for the part. NINA DOBREV!
