CASTING RUMOR: Dianna Agron for Johanna?

ClevverTV reports that Glee’s Dianna Agron is up for the role of Johanna Mason in Catching Fire. 

I can’t help but wonder what Naya Rivera thinks about this as last year, she expressed that she wants to be part of Catching Fire and play Johanna…

Again, this is just a rumor.


Thoughts? What do you think of Dianna Agron playing Johanna?

Casting Rumor: Armie Hammer, Taylor Kitsch and Garrett Hedlund being considered as FINNICK??

E!Online reports that Lionsgate have narrowed down the casting choices to 3 actors: Armie Hammer, Taylor Kitsch and Garrett Hedlund.

A source tells us at that the top three names being bantered about right now areArmie Hammer,Taylor Kitsch and Garrett Hedlund.

The source also says that a final decision from the studio may be announced as early as this week.

However, another source says the studio may also be looking at unknowns à laBrad PittinThelma & Louise.


According to Lionsgate:
A Lionsgate rep said, “As with the first film, we won’t be confirming, denying or commenting on any casting rumors for this title. We will announce news wide when there is official casting news to announce.”

As there is no official confirmation, this is considered to be a RUMOR. 

Thoughts? Who among those three would be the best one to play Finnick? Or who else do you think should play Finnick?

Suzanne Collins named one of the ’10 Rising Stars to Watch’ by Forbes

Although, Suzanne Collins didn’t make it to the Celebrity 100 list of Forbes, she was included in the 10 Rising Stars to Watch.

Author Suzanne Collins has a good chance of making the list next year. There are more than 36 million copies of her Hunger Games trilogy in print and the film based on the first book has earned $620 million at the global box office. Collins will get a tiny slice of the profit from the film but it could be enough to land her on our list.
