They probably had Jennifer Lawrence in mind from the moment they saw "Winter's Bone." She was terrific in that...only to be supremely meh as Young!Mystique in "X-Men: First Class."
Course they did. Probably after they saw her swimsuit pictures... I'm bitter about they're choice is it obvious. I loved that Katniss was "regular girl" pretty in the books. Not supermodel pretty. Give me the girl from Kick Ass or something......
Lawrence is a bit too old, but other than that, I don't have an issue with her physical appearance - if she can capture the essence of Katniss, then I can overlook the age.
I think she is just too pretty. The thing about Katniss i really liked was that she was "gorgeous" like 99% of the other girls in YA. Then they pick one to play here. I'd rather have the little girl from Kick Ass or someone more normal looking to play her. I'm getting rather tired of all the pretty on the big screens. I miss old hollywood style actress who could act, but weren't considered all that attractive.
I will say casting for Peeta and some of the other stars are all right....
