The two will star opposite Jennifer Lawrence, who recently won the role of the film’s heroine Katniss Everdeen.

The movie is based on the young adult novels set in a future in which children fight to the death in government-sponsored competitions.

    Major Major dissapointment! Lots of my enthusiasm for this movie just went down the drain with these casting choices. Hope it doesn’t prove to be a mistake…

    I guess I don’t mind the LH casting but he should definitely be Peeta and not Gale. What the hell are these people thinking when they cast this? Did they even read the books?

    I was a little confused too, so I decided to find some videos of both Josh and Liam. I found one of Josh on Jimmy Kimmel and with a little movie magic for his hair and eyes he will be a GREAT Peeta. Liam is ok for Gale; he has that same arrogant that Gale has, so it will probably be fine. I am VERY excited that they got Jennifer to do Katniss. She has a very strong edge to her, yet a softness; just like Katniss. After doing all my research on these actors I’ve decided I am truly looking forward to how they portray these characters. :)
