Here's the latest from Deadline.com:
Casting for the male leads on The Hunger Games isn't complete. I'm hearing that at the moment, Liam Hemsworth is frontrunner for the role of Gale Hawthorne, and that Josh Hutcherson is in the same position for the role of Peeta Mellark. Both have been hotly contested roles among young actors, as was Katniss before Lawrence got the job. Both of these guys look rights for the respective parts. Per Lionsgate, no offers have yet been made, and nothing is definitive.
What are your thoughts on this? Hoping that it's just simply an April fools rumor? Or are you ready to see them taking on the Games on the big screen? Tell us in the comments!
