First The Hunger Games pic

There you have it. The first official image from The Hunger Games movie with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen. Cool, so she died her hair and got a tan. That's method acting right there. At least she has a bow and the Mockingjay pin, but still . . . they should have gone with an age appropriate actress that closer resembles the character in the books. In related news, because they're drawing out the announcements in a clever marketing ploy I've waited until now to update you with the definite additions to the cast. Of course, all the tributes and minor characters are sorted, but the signifianct updates are Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket and Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman. It's interesting, because I think that trio of actors are better cast than the trio of leads in Katniss (Lawrence), Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). Meh, what can you do but have fate and wait for the March 23, 2012 release date?
