However, after looking at some stills from the film, they managed to make her look like a teen. I think I would have to agree that they needed "someone of a certain maturity and power to be Katniss." I have a hard time coming up with one teen actress out there who could really pull this role off.Jennifer Lawrence Fanhttp://www.ohjenniferlawrence.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-66771727256873321802011-03-28T15:27:21.214-04:002011-03-28T15:27:21.214-04:00I can definitely see what you mean about Katniss&#...I can definitely see what you mean about Katniss' age -- and her youth -- being very important to the film's success, and I'd have to agree with you.

I envisioned a younger and more stoic looking Katniss, so this news disappoints me as well. It will be interesting to see how this movie changes the impact that the books have made on me, and I also agree with Jenny's point that the character's age over time might also be a problem. It's always disappointing when Hollywood gets it wrong from a book lover's perspective.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-88590916002033836962011-03-18T23:02:44.893-04:002011-03-18T23:02:44.893-04:00You make a really good point!

And especially if they make all three movies, Jennifer could potentially closer to 30 by the time they finish taping the last film! Even if they do them quickly she'd be in her mid-twenties.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128837662718618636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-4237501578293753382011-03-18T10:54:16.545-04:002011-03-18T10:54:16.545-04:00I really hope she does well, but I also was disapp...I really hope she does well, but I also was disappointed when the news was announced. I thought Hailee would have been a good choice as well. I just hope Jennifer Lawrence has read this book and has also been reading YA books in general so that she can get a real sense of what this audience looks for.Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.com
