Not gonna lie, I'd have loved it if Fonseca had been cast too. Before seeing Nikita I might have turned my nose up at the suggestion, but Fonseca has showed amazing range and grit as Alex. I think she'd have done a fantastic job, and she looks younger than she is so I wouldn't have had a problem with her age.
Perhaps I'm not as connected to the interwebs, but I haven't heart much negative buzz...
I might be blowing the negative attention out of proportion. Really, I'm basing that statement on the article I just saw on the casting of Lawrence at AfterEllen, and on ONTD where there have been numerous posts about 'white-washing' and Lawrence being too old.
Of course, ONTD is full of turn-coat haters (seriously, they LOVED Lawrence up until the Oscars and now it's endless haterade), and the posters there are obsessed with posting topless pictures of Hunter Parrish and talking about how he's the perfect Peeta, so it's probably not the right site to base the general feeling around the movie on.
I just want the movie to be good. I want to love it like I'm loving the books, and I want it to make enough movie that they can film all three movies.
