I would go with China for Rue. I think Ludwig would make better Peeta. But really I think any of your picks would work.

I'm willing to go with your...You are a GENIUS!<br /><br />I'm willing to go with your selections for Katniss, Gale (your-bro-in-law, I trust you), and Peeta (Ludwig). <br /><br />Though I always see Gale as a blonde and Peeta as a brunette? I dunno why. Was it like that in the book? <br /><br />Your selections for Haymitch and Effie are brilliant. Now the images of PSH and Chenoweth will be branded into my brain as those characters. PSH plays such a good drunken wastrel, yet he can pull off being intimidating enough to be seen as a former Humger Games champion. <br /><br />Fanning looks perfect for the role of Prim, I'd go with McClain for Rue, Dancy for Cinna, and Robin Wright (she does "psychologically injured and scarred" so well) as the mother.<br /><br />Fred Willard is another flash of brillance. I think he's fantastic and he already has down that Flickerman-staged-talk-show-hearty-slap-on the-back-we-all-know-what's-really-going-on-but let's-make-the-best-of-it-or-heads-will-roll bit. He was great as the oddball commentatory in "Best in Show". <br /><br />Steve Martin as Snow? OKaaaaay... uh, NO. Though I would have pictured someone more debonaire than Guy Henry, but I haven't seen him in anything other than Harry Potter.<br /><br />I'm with Bittner and her Anti-Swift movement. What were they thinking?<br /><br />You may have missed your calling, Andrea.

Reading through you post I had to keep asking myself who people were? Like Claudius Templesmith was who again? Man, Caesar Flickerman sure does sound familiar? Thresh? Okay now you are just making characters up!<br /><br />-I might need to re-read that one before the movie comes out!<br /><br />My thoughts,<br /><br />a. I love Kristen Chenoweth! She was awesome on the West Wing and I can totally see her as Effie! That chick can do anything!<br /><br />b. See I liked EW's pick of Robert Downey Jr for Haymitch. And ever since I saw Red Dragon, Phillip Seymour Hoffman has creeped me out and it doesn't matter how many times I watch Almost Famous, that feeling just wont go away! But in spite of my hesitation towards him he would make a good Haymitch.<br /><br />c. Okay, I love Neil Patrick Harris! I do! You know I do! But Cillian Murphy is exactly how I pictured Cinna! I mean EXACTLY! However, If they want to give Neil Patrick Harris the part I will not complain and I will be thrilled to see him in it. <br /><br />D. I like your pick of Haley Pullos that is how I saw Rue. And I liked your Madge better. but that brings me to my last point...<br /><br />E. WHAT THE HELL IS EW DOING CASTING TAYLOR SWIFT AS MADGE!!!???!!! ARE THEY ON CRACK??? HAVE THEY EVEN READ THE BOOKS??? <br /><br />NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />NO TAYLORS SHOULD BE IN THIS MOVIE AT ALL PERIOD AND THIS IS NOT EVEN UP FOR DISCUSSION! <br /><br />ps i responded to your comment on my one day blog, it is kind of funny.Bittnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11209656083381582559noreply@blogger.com
