More
"The Hunger Games" movie update! A bunch of new names have been added to the mix of Peeta Mellark contenders, as well as the newly announced nominations for Gale Hawthrone. Lionsgate Studio has recently tested the actors to depict some scenes with the currently chosen
Jennifer Lawrence who lands the female leading role Katniss Everdeen.
In addition to
Josh Hutcherson and
Hunter Parrish who were previously announced to negotiate as Peeta role,
Alexander Ludwig,
Lucas Till, and
Evan Peters were reportedly join the screen test. The four young actors must be relatively unknown for some people, but I'm sure that you actually caught them on films. Ludwig was the leading man in epic fantasy
"Legend of the Seeker". Till made his big break in the
"Hannah Montana: The Movie" as
Miley Cyrus' on-screen love interest, and he's going to appear in this year's anticipated blockbuster
"X-Men: First Class" portraying Alex Summers aka Havok, the brother of Scott "Cyclops" Summers. Meanwhile, if you re-watch
"Kick-Ass" you will absolutely recognize Evan Peters, as he played
Aaron Johnson's best friend. From this list, apparently
Alex Pettyfer is no longer up for this role.
In the other hand, the studio is also currently searching for yet another important supporting role in "The Hunger Games", Gale Hawthrone. Described as a very handsome and masculine boy, Lionsgate is searching for a at least 6' tall actors to portray this best friend of Katniss. According to "Hunger Games" best fansite
Mockingjay, the announced names are:
Liam Hemsworth,
David Henry,
Robbie Ammell, and
Drew Roy. Australian actor Hemsworth first caught the public eyes starring opposite his then-girlfriend Miley Cyrus in
"The Last Song" (and he is also the brother of
Chris Hemsworth, the
"Thor" guy). Henrie started his career being funny and entertaining in Disney Channel hit
"The Wizard of Waverly Place" with
Selena Gomez. Ammell and Roy are relatively very new, but you can see them on Nickelodeon's
"True Jackson" and sci-fi series
"Falling Skies" respectively. From the Gale description, I believe Hemsworth would perfectly fit. He is absolutely tall, with perfect masculine figure. Even so, most of us are still questioning about his real acting talents, but let's just give him a try. ;-)
