Right, so I woke up this morning to find the news that Josh Hutcherson is Peeta and Liam Hemsworth is Gale. I have to say that my heart sank when I saw who Peeta was. I guess I had Hunter Parrish in my head for so long that it was a shock to see it wasn't him.
I may or may not have had a little cry when I heard the news, but I think it's more because I was so set on someone and was hoping for a natural blue eyed blonde that will play the boy with the bread (sigh for his blue eyes).
Like I said with Jennifer Lawrence, I trust that they chose the best person for the role and that they have a great chemistry, even if he doesn't quite look like Peeta (in my head). And as long as he encompasses Peeta's personality, I'm sure I will get over it (and stop mourning the fact that Hunter Parrish wasn't cast, sigh).
As for Gale, I wasn't too fussed and Liam Hemsworth is an Aussie. I do know that he has had some major backlashing though so I don't know.
Either way, I'm still excited about this movie and will be watching it no matter what. I truly think it will be awesome! I've been a fan of this series pretty much since The Hunger Games was released a few years ago so there is no way I would miss this movie!
I will write more about this Snail Mail group very soon!! Thanks for the interest!
