You just ruined the movie.
So, blondes are brunettes and brunettes are blonds. AWESOME.
liam hot.
josh … not.
:)
People need to remember how easily you can change hair color.
That being said, I think they’ll be fantastic!
Miley’s boyfriend
and Vanessa’s boyfriend!! ;)
Perfect!
Ewwww….seriously? How about Hunter Parrish? He was perfect!
Holly Golightly, can you imagine BLOND Josh? It’s like Paris Hilton with red hair
@Anne: Hahaha. I know it’ll be an adjustment, but I’m just having faith that Gary and Debra know what they’re doing.
IMO, i think it would have been better for freshly unknowns to audition for the roles, instead of already known actors.
I think they are perfect. Great choices
AHHH YAY GO JOSH!!
Make up artists have been successfully changing haircolor on actors for over 100 years I’m pretty sure they can make these guys believable.
I really don’t think Josh is V’s boyfriend except he is a boy and he is her friend.
But it does seem Liam and Miley are giving it another try.
It doesn’t matter THAT much how they look but Josh Hutcherson is an AMAZING actor, has anyone here seen Bridge to Terabithia? He was so sweet! And Peeta’s not supposed to be some sex symbol, leave that to Finnick, he needs to be charming and endearing which Josh totally is! Also there’s this thing called hair dye, I’m sure some of you have heard of it
I’m okay with Josh as Peeta, but Liam is just NOT my Gale…sigh
Wrong Casting. Josh looks nothing like Peeta and Liam as Gale is the worst idea ever. Not a good choice. This movie is so not going to be as good as the books.
And that my friends=R.I.P. Hunger Games. At least we still have the books
alright with it. just like i was alright with jennifer lawrence. plus liam’s a looker
either way i would definitely have gone kaya scodelario for katniss, robbie amell for gale and freddie stroma for my peeta.
I know you can change hair color and get them colored contacts but are they going to, like, starve everyone before filming starts? Because everyone in the districts is pretty much emaciated with hunger, which these guys clearly are not.
People are acting like the most important thing about the characters are their hair color!! There is a lot more to those characters than hair color. It’s a lot more important that they got actors capable of displaying intense and conflicting emotions (especially for Peeta). They can dye their hair. But they can’t teach a bad actor to do a good job.
It should be the other way around. I think Josh would be a good Gale and Liam a better Peeta. Who’s with me??
uh the only reason why is josh is up for this ****, is because hes friends with vanessa .
@robsten fan
josh and vanessa are not dating.
@lauren:
you are delusional. Josh is a great actor. i’m happy he got this role
NOT HAPPY! They both are so wrong for the parts. If Josh were taller, then it may work if Josh played Gale and Liam was Peeta. But both of them are not at all what I was expecting. I’m disappointed.
Yay for Josh! Don’t know about Liam… Haven’t really seen him in anything but we’ll see if he works as Gale…
Now Alex Pettyfer just needs to snag the role of Jace in The Mortal Instruments, and I can die happy :D
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THIS IS AWFUL. EW.
