So Amy Adams Is The New Lois Lane...

[fembuck]

I never would have guessed this in a million years but now that the announcement is here ... I kind of like it.  

When I was considering Lois Amy Adams name never entered my mind, but thinking about it now that she's been cast she seems like a good fit.

Huh, random...but I kind of like it too.

I'm still holding out for Bridget Regan to be cast as Wonder Woman should that movie ever get made...hey, a girl can dream.

As for THG...do you have any preferences when it comes to casting?

I know! It's like ... "Yeah, but ... ah, okay". Like I didn't see it coming, but I'm good with it.

I'm just glad that Bridget dodged the bullet of being cast as Wonder Woman in the new show which looks like it's gonna be a complete clusterfuck.

I would love to see her as WW on the big screen, but I'm beginning to think that movie is never gonna happen.

I love Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss.

My mental image for Peeta was Alex Pettyfer (probably because I'd seen his name tossed around so much), but I'm not really invested in him being Peeta. I don't like too many of the suggestions I've been seeing around (even Hunter Parrish though he's the least objectionable). Douglas Booth (http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/lijvaGhQ0il/2010+GQ+Men+of+the+Year+Party/cG31KYW74nR/Douglas+Booth) maybe? I just want them to cast someone who can act. I'd be perfectly happy with an unknown, probably happier.

Gale, I have no idea. I've only read the first book so I haven't seen much of him at all.

Haymitch ... I don't know. Maybe Michael Sheen. He's good in everything and is a great character actor. I don't really know who I want for this role, just that I pretty much hate the possibilities I've heard of so far so I hope this one is a surprise.

As for the others, I really have no idea. Rue's gonna be an unknown, Effie ... the sky's the limit, Prim, Katniss's mom, Tresh, Clove, Glimmer, Cato ... ???? As long as they can act, I don't care.

What are your thoughts?

Can Bridget and Tab just be cast in some HBO show where they're naked and all subtexty 24/7, I mean, if we're still dreaming, right? Heh.

My mental image for Peeta was Alex Pettyfer

I can't picture Alex in the role because I think he looks too old, and he's a little too beefy...and it's funny, I actually imagined Peeta as Hunter Parrish before all of the fan craziness surrounding him happened. But, I agree, I wouldn't mind if an unknown was cast, I'd probably prefer it as long as he could act.

Haymitch ... I don't know. Maybe Michael Sheen.

Hmm, Michael could definitely pull it off. I was thinking maybe Hugh Laurie...or Philip Seymour Hoffman. For President Snow, I've heard John Malkovich's name tossed around, but I think the guy who played the Magister in True Blood, Zeljko Ivanek, could work. Maybe Kristin Chenoweth for Effie. I haven't really given much thought to the others...but on a diff note, I hope Madge and Katniss have at least a wee bit of subtext in their scenes...even though my brain will probably conjure some up anyway. lol
