Catching Fire Casting Update!

Jena Malone

On the heels of the super success of The Hunger Games, its sequel Catching Fire looks to be headed in the same direction by adding to the stellar cast from the first film.  The second film features previous winners of the Hunger Games who come together to take part in the 75th anniversary of the games.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Amander Plummer 

Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman will be head gamekeeper Plutarch Heavensbee as the last gamekeeper Seneca Crane meets a most dire fate.  Amanda Plummer has been confirmed as Wiress from District 3, half of the duo of nicknamed 'Nuts' of 'Nuts and Volts' by Johanna Mason who, today, we learnt will be played by Jena Malone.  Johanna has a prickly relationship with Katniss so I'm keen to see how it plays out onscreen.  She definitely is an interesting character.  But we still have a long way to go as Catching Fire releases in theaters November 22, 2013.  I, meanwhile, am awaiting to see who will play Finnick Odair.
