The Hunger Games Cast - Rue


Rue is described "as looking about ten" and has "bright dark eyes and satiny brown skin". She reminds Katniss of her little sister Prim, and Katniss immediately takes a liking to her. In the Games, Rue is what reminds Katniss of home. As a character, she is loveable, and unforgetable to the reader. I chose the actress Madison Pettis. You may remember her from the Disney movie, The Game Plan and the TV show, Cory in the House. She tiny, cute, and has dark hair and eyes. I'm sure she could darken her skin with a little bit of makeup, but her stature is very small for a 12 year old! Perfect match for Rue!

  2. I like her for Rue. SHe is the only one I have seen suggested that has dark skin as Collins describes.

  3. She does not have dark enough skin and she's too young looking, even for Rue.

  5. Some of these pics are a few years old, but this actress is actually pushing 13, so I don't think her current look would be too young. You have to picture the girl after costuming and make up, which I'm sure would require a darker skin tone and rougher appearance.

  6. I'm not sure. She's always smiling. I don't know if she could pull off the uncertainty and seriousness that Rue has for part of the book. If she could pull it off, though, she would be great. I can imagine her leaping through trees. :)

  12. uhhhh I like this choice. I think she would look Rue-ish with dark skin makeup and less curly hair. (She needs to have wavy hair, not curly) I also think jodelle ferland would be good. I dont know why, but for some odd reason I think willow smith would be a good Rue appearance-wise.

  13. Madison Pettis is cute, but she's just too young-looking to play Rue. She looks closer to 7 than 10-11. And I always pictured Rue with straighter hair - maybe not bone-straight, but slightly wavy, y'know? In my mind, she looks more like Willow Smith, like the anonymous above me said. Or even better, choose a young actress that is loaded with potential and talent, but not well-known. We need some new stars.

  15. okay ive been searching around for these casts and not many of them are good, shed be...okay. i saw that people were saying they wanted it to be unknown people making an appearence in this movie. Im not a celebrerty actress, but i look suprisingly like rue. no joke. and i do lots of sports and straight thick hair (dark brown-black) so im pretty tough. no offense but i think i refect rue more than any of these actresses
