Josh and Jennifer to play The Hunger Games?

Jennifer Lawrence is said to be leading the pack of young actresses on the prowl for the lead role of Katniss Everdeen in the first big-screen installment of The Hunger Games. She received an Oscar nom this year for her role in Winter’s Bone.

 

For weeks, rumors have been flying that Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin and Emily Browning were also on the shortlist, but Jennifer seems to have come out on top, Deadline.com reports.

 

And as for Katniss’ teammate, the broke baker’s son named Peeta? You might recognize cutie Josh Hutcherson from last year’s The Kids Are All Right as well as Bridge to Terabithia and Zathura. Now, he’s got his eye on The Hunger Games.

 

Josh told Entertainment Weekly that “The character is so much who I am—self deprecating, a people person. And he’d be such a great character to play! Like in the third book? Oh my God.”

 

So whaddya think, babes? Who would you cast in The Hunger Games?
