Hunter Parrish as Peeta Mellark?

I've blogged before about the frustrations I have with the lack of information out there concerning The Hunger Games movie. Why is Lionsgate holding out on us? Do they not realize that their is a huge fan base for this book that will double if they would only give us a little bit of information? Every soul that I have peddled this book on to loves it, and with the hype that is surrounding all things "teen" and especially teen fiction, why, oh, why are the marketing execs of this film not capitalizing on this wave of teen love? Anywhoooo, I digress. I meant to show you a few pictures of this hot actor, Hunter Parrish that has been seen on the HBO series Weeds. Don't you think he would make a swell Peeta? Peeta has to be hot, but not pretty boy hot. I think Hunter fits into both of these categories.



Please, Lionsgate, at least release a name or two of actors for Katniss, Peeta or Gale. Sheesh, even a name for Haymitch would at least give me something to mull over until the summer of 2010 rolls around.

  4. Yeah, if you're thinking about looks, he really does make a good Peeta!! And I know; I am SOOOOO frustrated too. Not only that Lionsgate hasn't released ANYTHING about the movie, but that I have to wait half a year to get my hands on the next book!!!!!!!!!!

  5. They are totally teasing us! I really think this series is about to blow up and be bigger than Twilight. I usually don't like comparing YA fiction to Twilight, but this series will draw in males and females alike. They better make the movie as good or better than the book.

  6. I agree, he is the perfect Peeta! I couldn't picture Peeta before. But now I can, and he is perfect. For Haymitch, Hugh Laurie would be good. He's what I think would be good, what do you think. http://thestarceleb.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/hugh_laurie.jpg
    For Katniss, I would like to audition. It shouldn't be someone famous, and I'm not just saying that. It's because its true. They need new and fresh people. But I have to admit, I'm thirteen, but I am 5'7". I don't know if that's okay, but no one is going to stop me from auditioning!

  9. I think he would make a pretty good Peeta, but I feel Peeta would have to look more boyish... Like yeah, I don't know, sort of a rounder face, because even he may be thin he's more well built than Katniss... I think that Matt Lanter would make a pretty decent Peeta if he colored his hair, and maybe put in some darker contacts...http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q183/storygirl1892/peetamanip.png Check out the very, very, VERY quick manip I did of Matt, I don't think he's half bad... But I have to admitt, he's not the face of Peeta, Matt only does it like 75% or 80% for me....
