OlderJennifer Lawrence: Katniss in 'Hunger Games'?
After much speculation, looks like the coveted role of Katniss in The Hunger Games is going to Jennifer Lawrence!
The 20-year-old actress “is close to getting an offer” to star in the upcoming film adaptation of Suzanne Collins‘ series of the same name, according to Variety.
Emma Watson, Hailee Steinfeld, and Abigail Breslin were rumored to have been considered for the role.

WTF?! she doesn’t even look like Katniss! If that is true I’m totally disappointed! I would prefer Danielle Campbell ( I always imagined her like Katniss ),Emma Watson or even someone unknown
I really hope Jennifer Lawrence doesn’t get the role. Maybe the filmmakers see something we book readers don’t, but she doesn’t fit the part at all.
Abigail Breslin is also VERY wrong. She’s like 10 years old.
Emma Watson would not do another series so soon after Potter.
Hailee Steinfeld would be great! But I would also love to see Sarah Bolger or Ella Purnell in the role.
I can see it (dye the hair, put in the gray contacts) she was awesome in winter’s bone, she can definitely pull it off
Ugh please no! I really dont think she would be a good Katniss!! I think Hailee would be perfect though!
Same. She’s too tall, too blonde, too not-underfed looking, still too well known, too blue-eyed, to white, and TOO OLD!!!
For anyone who has ever read The Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence in this role is like drugs… Just say NO.
She looks nothing like Katniss.
NO!!! I want Hailee Steinfeld!
She can’t be katniss and + plus she is older;i don’t know but i think that they don’t even know how katniss is!!!! she need to be brunette;tan skins;little and thin;i don’t mean jen is not beutiful but she’s not katniss; and if she got the role i will be pissed because they don’t evene put attention to the fanbase. I WANT HAILEE OR KAYA ¬¬
JUST START FILMING ALREADY!
NOOOOOO. she is not right seriously goodness.grrrrrrr
Wait…. you know what nevermind i don’t care. As long as she can act i guess and maybe dies her hair or sumthin.
*dyes
OHHHHHHHH, HELLLLL NO. WHAT THE **** MAN? This chick doesn’t even look like a Katniss! She’s too old, has lighter skin and blonde her! Can people even cast now and days? -________-
If this Jennifer girl is casted as Katniss then I’m not even going to bother to go see the movie.
nooooo! if theyre gonna cast older then i want chelsea kane. she has dark eyes and is thin and would look great with dark hair plus shes an amazing actress. and chord overstreet as peeta and steven r mcqueen as gale. dream team!!!!!
oh my god, she is way too old! i’m a huge fan of the books, but if she is cast i will not be going to see it.
Hailee is fantastic but she is too young to play Katniss! I’m still rooting for Lyndsy Fonseca, but Jennifer is a close second in my book.
She’s only 20 years old but looks more like a 26-27 year old. WHY would they cast her as Katniss? I mean, could they REALLY make her look like a 16 year old girl? O_o
Plus doesn’t Katniss have like olive skin, dark hair, and grey eyes? Jennifer just looks like a white girl. They should get someone more exotic looking for this roll.
I WILL say out of the three actresses (Lawrence, Steinfeld, and Breslin) who were up for the roll Lawrence I think would be the best bet. Steinfeld and Breslin are too young for the roll. It looks like they want to cast a 20 something year old for the male leads. That would just be really wrong and gross to see a guy in his 20′s acting next to a young girl like Breslin & Steinfeld are.
She may be talented, but this girl is NOT Katniss…I was hoping the director and casting directors had actually READ the books but, like Twilight, the movie will fail to live up to the books. What a disappointment.
she can’t be katniss. i won’t watch the movie if she would be cast as katniss. it will be better if emma watson, Jodelle Ferland, Malese Jow or Lyndsy Fonseca :)
after watching winter’s bone i could see it…dark hair and grey contacts and then she looks as much like katniss as the other girls
she’s pretty and a good actress! i think she will do a good job!
Absolute failure. Should be Alyson Stoner. period.
This is a serious F.A.I.L. She may be a good actress but honestly, she’s gonna age with the franchise and she’ll probably be close to 24-25 yrs. F.A.I.L. Makes no sense.
NO NO NO NO! I don’t like her for Katniss, she just doesn’t look the part, even if they dyed her hair…
