Thresh: played by Dayo Okaniyi, who's yet another debuting actor in the movie world!

That's all we know for now.
Personally I love the choice of actress for the role of Katniss. I saw Winter's Bone and although the movie itself didn't blow my mind, I really loved Jennifer and how she played! She was brilliant! I think she will make a wonderful Katniss :)
Peta? Meh, could have been better. I somehow can not imagine Josh in this role. Can you? I mean, he has this amazing sensitivity painted all over his face.. which fits the role perfectly, but other than that he just looks like a .. kid!
Gale! I didn't have a chance to see any of Liam's movies yet, so I don't really know what kind of actor he is, but judging my his physical appearance, this was definitely a good choice! He does look like Jen's cousin, doesn't he? And most certainly he looks like a skilled hunter! Nice, nice! :D
I really like the choice of actresses for Prim and Rue, both girls look just like I imagined the characters to be! And it's really nice to see some new faces for once!
Effie? Oh my, I dunno.. I saw all the movies with Elizabeth Banks and I do love her as a comedy actress, but I'm not quite sure if this was the right choice for the role of Effie.
What do you guys think about the cast?

I really feel like I should read the Hunger Games - I have heard so much about it but just haven't gotten into it yet.
I think the cast is great! I'm super excited to see the movie. Oh man, can't wait.
I find myself reacting the same way to the casting choices, especially Peeta. Isn't Peeta blond, with pretty looks and super muscular? It's been awhile since I read this series, but this kid doesn't really shout Peeta at me, at least not physically.

I'm liking (or at least warming up to) nearly everyone they've cast. But I agree on who they picked for Peeta. He just looks really young! Guess I'll have to wait and see. :)
I didn't like the choices for Gale and Peeta but maybe they'll change my mind in the future.
I'm trying to fit Josh into the image I had of Peeta, and it's just not working.. I pictured him with the look of Christopher Egan... O well, maybe they'll change my mind..
Happy Reading :)

I can't wait for the movie! The cast is so great and the guys look pretty hot ;D ...great! :)
The casting seems ok I think the production can transform them to looks like the character from the book. I just saw the photo shoot of Jenifer Lawrence as Katniss and I think it was great.
The Tributes are complete. Can't wait to see The Hunger Games Movie next year.
