I’m mostly glad that the strange fan-made rumors about Robert Pattinson have died down. But bear in mind, Lionsgate hasn’t confirmed this rumor yet. But it can only be a matter of time.
Another cool rumor is that three-time Emmy winner Tony Shaloub might be playing the electronic guru from District 3, Beetee. I’m all for it. And all this on top of the DVD release of The Hunger Games tomorrow. It’s like they plan these things…
[...] It appears the final casting of Finnick Odair is coming to a close and Sam is still in the front running for the roles. Lets cross our fingers and hopes Sam is officially cast. As usual, the most anticipated casting news is saved for last, and this is true for Hunger Games: Catching Fire’s coveted role of the handsome Tribute from District 4, Finnick Odair. I’ve heard via Variety that the short list is being narrowed down to Sam Claflin (Snow White and the Huntsman, Pillars of the Earth). It’s even in “rumor” status on IMDB. This role plays an important part in all three of the upcoming films, so all us ravenous fans are amped about who it will be. Personally, I think Claflin would be great and a better choice than previously rumored Armie Hammer, Garrett Hedlund, and Taylor Kitsch, all of whom are kind of hulking masses. Claflin brings the right amount of youth to the role. Source: Moviegnome. [...]
