Woody Harrelson has landed the role of Haymitch Abernathy in THE HUNGER GAMES, and that’s what I call another exciting casting. John C. Reilly had originally been in talks for the role, but looks like that didn’t pan out and I can’t say I’m too disappointed, I actually think Woody Harrelson will make a fantastic Haymitch. Haymitch Abernathy is Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta’s (Josh [...]
Oh that’s a good one, Stanley Tucci has been cast in the role of Caesar Flickerman in THE HUNGER GAMES movie.
