who should play katniss in the movie?

ABOSLUTELY NO Disney or Twilight. Perhaps someone unknown, not common, or new even! A fresh face would be nice for a change. Camille Belle seems like an okay option, but isn't she a bit too old?

As much as I'd like a new actress to play Katniss, I think Lucy Hale would be a good Katniss because she looks what I imagined Katniss to be and she is a great actress. She looks alot like 16 and it feels like she could portray Katiss well. So I think Lucy Hale would be a great choice because she isn't too well known like some.

camilla belle

i think Annasophia Robb should play Katniss! she's of perfect age! if she dyed her hair brown, she'd definitely fit the image

An unknown definitely! I just can't see Anna as her. I never pictured Katniss as completely white. Camilla's too old. I think she needs to be someone that looks 16 and is olive with natural dark brown hair because not all light haired girls can look like they have natural dark hair. I don't really care about whether she has gray eyes because there's always contacts. And I just hope that it's an unknown because a known actress would take away from the film.

Obviously, a new face would be perfect. I know Katniss is supposed to be skinny, but dont you think she should look a little athletic too? She has been running and climbing trees her whole life, she cant b just all skin and bone. And isnt she supposed to have a height in the 5'2"-5'5" range? I always pictured her looking a little younger than she actually is. So, maybe getting someone a little younger to play her wont be so bad, especially if they continue making the series into a movie. Then as they continue the actor wont "out grow" the part.

I choose Kaya Scodelario. Most people voted for her on this poll:

i think Elizabeth Gillies would make a good Katniss. I know a lot of people will hate her just because shes on Nickelodeon but hear me out. In my mind, she looks like the Katniss i pictured. Though she can use a little bit of a tan. She can act and sing, which is important. She's 17 and she can pull off from being a sweet girl to a "female dog". She's not really that well known, which a lot of people seem to want. And most importantly, she has this fierce look to her. I think the fierce look is important because Katniss tries to show she's tough and she hates the Capital.

ummm idk... someone good... like kristen stewart or dakota fanning...

anne hathaway!

Camilla Belle would be perfect for the role of Katniss Everdeen. She is just about everything that Katniss is supposed to look... :-)

definatly camilia belle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Jojo should play katniss

Well I think someone that has grayish eyes, medium height, skinny, black long hair, very pretty.

I guess Camille could do it, if she was young enough for the part.

i think annasophia robb would be perfect for the role not only does she look exactly like katniss but she has a greta personality for it as well

I think Emma Roberts might be the perfect Katniss.

I reckon it should be someone who does Archery. So that they could spare the expense of classes. Yeah I don't no. New face for sure. Hate it when actors who have been in several things and then take the part of a character. Its just not...right. More believable if its a new face.

I want to play her!!!! But so does every girl in the world (ok, that may not be true...some people may not be too keen on the whole "near death experiances" thing). I'm a fair shot with a bow, if that counts for anything. I do think it should be someone unknown though. No matter how good the actress is, if she's known for something else already, that's all we're gonna see when she's Katniss.

i think an awesomer, darker, edgy-er, stronger, kickasser version of Lucy Hale would be okay. (:

OMG! that is like an obvious answer. Annasophia Robb. she is like amazing. and definitly no major Disney stars or Twilight please! Annasophia is perfect and then if not her then Emily Browning she's the one in the pic

honestly, i know that alot of people want to play her, but i think id be a good katniss.
the only thing is that i have brown eyes, but i have the perfect olive skin and long natural brown hair.
i also have a pretty face and am skinny.
i also know that everyone including me absolutely want her to be an unknown so id be a fresh face,

anyways ill be ready for the upcoming auditions :)

I agree on assigning unknown actors, but if they chose current actors, I think Christian Serratos (even though she's on Twilight XP) or Victoria Justice fit Katniss's description of "long straight sleek black hair, olive skin and gray eyes" pretty well. For Peeta, perhaps Alex Pettyfer or Jeremy Sumpter? Not sure about that one as well as for Gale. Maybe Ben Barnes, but he's a bit old. Hope my suggestions aren't way off, haha :) I apologize if they are.

I kinda think I would be a good Katniss, I doubt I would ever actully get the part but eh. Any one know where auditions are? I would love to auditon :) I absolutley love the Hunger Games :)
Oh and this is me if you were wondering (I know archery too)...

maybe nicola peltz or alexandra daddario...???
-this is alexandra daddario-

NO AnnaSophia!!!! I dont know if you've ever heard of Emily Browning but SHE is the only person I could imagine as her while reading the book.If you dont know who she is she played Violet Baudelaire in Series of Unfortunate Events.(Very well i might add)

I saw her on deviantart and she's exactly like I imagined katniss to be

Definitely Lucy Hale or Alexandra Daddario.

A Rumor Has BeenSaid That Sarah Spearmon, A Georgia Girl, Has Been Casted As Katniss. Her Supposed Email Is sarahspearmon20@gmail.com

I agree with the people who think there should be some one new and Lucy Hale is a great choice she looks sixteen and she plays one in pretty little liars!

I really want to play Katniss Everdeen and I've had some experiance in acting and such but I don't know where or when to try out.....and If I can't be Katniss I think your right, someone new should play Katniss....

I know a lot of you guys out there want to be Katniss, Rue, & Prim, & EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE TO TRY OUT!! Here are some tips that wil help you get the part.
Take acting classes,
singing classes, & also maybe something like dancing, or playing an instrument/instruments. They will be looking for unknowns for the main characters but they will need to have talents.
Also, look at your else over & see who you look like. Some directors won't even let you audition if you don't look like that character. I know you can dye your hair or get a spray tan, but they will be wanting natural & if you have blonde hair and white skin, you might not look good with olive skin & black hair. Not alot of people care about the eyes because there's contacts. Also, I fyou want to be either Katniss or Rue, climb some trees, do archery, get in shape!
Good luck to you guys & hope to see you at the auditions
P.S. LionsGate won't be sending out any auditions informations until November or December. Hope I've been helpful, Thank U!

I think that Jessica Stroup should play Katniss in the Hunger Games movie. She has the dark hair, and almmond shaped eyes. She's perfect.

first, i was screaming for kaya scodelario or saoirse ronan.
i was screaming BLOODY MURDER OF MY BELOVED PEETA when i saw jennifer lawrence as katniss. at this rate just cast a disney and or twilight snob as peeta and gale. in fact, theyve gotten liam hellworth as my other beloved guy!!
