The Hunger Games – Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, and Lenny Kravitz Next to Join?

Cue the cannon. Call up that logo for the Capital. It is time for a Hunger Games update. Just wait until you hear the word from The Vulture.

The paranoia and secrecy surrounding The Hunger Games at Lionsgate Films have reached a level befitting the totalitarian state of Panem: We’re told that not only are Hollywood agents being forced to sign nondisclosure agreements in order to receive offers for clients, but that even their assistants are being forced to sign NDAs, too.

I can’t say I blame Lionsgate Films. I expect quite a lot out of this adaptation. I want to be stylish. I want it to be infectious. I want it to be epic. Hey, at least actress Kristen Bell understands me! She’s Hunger crazed, too!

The Vulture further disclosed actors (and musician) Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci and Lenny Kravitz have all been made offers to appear in the film. But for which parts??

It looks like Elizabeth Banks has finally signed the dotted line to play Effie Trinket. Get out the pink hair dye! Two more tributes (cough…cannon fodder…cough) are gettin’ suited up for the Games. Even Katniss and Prim’s mama has been cast. Oh my, we even have our Primrose. Aww!

So, Harrelson could be enticed into the role of Head Gamemaker, Seneca Crane. Could Tucci be trying on the character of Cinna? His Devil Wears Prada and Burlesque work could suggest so. As comfortable as Cinna always makes Katniss, I would be okay with Tucci there, but I also always pictured her personal stylist as a tad more rugged. We’ll see!
