next_to_normalIf you haven't been keeping track, they've announced almost all the tributes now, except of course for Cato and Clove, the ones with the largest roles. And District 10, which no one cares about.
But in more exciting news, Stanley Tucci has been cast as Caesar Flickerman (OMG PERFECT) and Wes Bentley will play Seneca Crane, in what inevitably must be an expanded role, since Crane never actually appeared in The Hunger Games and was only really notable in that he got executed by President Snow. Off-screen. But my understanding is that his role has been beefed up significantly, so that he's the main villain of the first movie, saving Snow as the Big Bad for the second and third. Not that the movie really needs a physical villain, per se, since it's about kids killing each other on national television. The villainy is pretty much implied by the premise, but whatevs. Wes Bentley's kinda hot.
Also, it seems the John C. Reilly as Haymitch rumor was false, and now word on the street is it's Woody Harrelson? I could see that. This article is now 1 for 2 in predictions - they got Stanley Tucci right, but said Harrelson was up for Crane. But if Harrelson is indeed in the movie, I'll be REALLY curious what role they're considering Lenny Kravitz for.
