Mockingjay Fever/The Hunger Games Movie Cast

Oops, is it Wednesday?  And how much did I get done on me WIP....0, zilch, nada, zip.  I've been so far removed from it the last couple of weeks with me being sick, son being sick, and 15 pages/synopsis freak out, I have barely touched my WIP in three weeks.  How do you focus or find your way after such a long break?

Anyway...Last week there were tweets about the BEA and one agent in particular got to hear the first few pages of MOCKINGJAY read by the author herself, Suzanne Collins.  I quickly scrolled that post and found NOTHING on what she read!  The agent could not reveal what was read out loud. None the less, I got MOCKINGJAY fever.  Though the final book to the THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy does not come out until August, I want to play a game.

Clicking though several blogs I found a post that discussed:  Lights, Camera, Action! Help Cast The Hunger Games Cast.

So I want to know...
Who would be your dream cast for
THE HUNGER GAMES?

From the comments of the above blog, 96 comments mind you, people posted who they wanted to see as the cast.  I took every single comment, yes every stinking one of them, and googled all the suggestions.  I narrowed down from their comments to whom I could see being cast for THE HUNGER GAMES the movie.  Let me just say that I personally think, just like HARRY POTTER, undiscovered talent should be cast for the movie.  BUT if I must indulge the teenage alter ego that still lives inside of me here are my picks for movie cast narrowed down.
(NOTE: I discounted anyone who had a direct association with TWILIGHT movies.  Love the movies but can't do that.)

NOTE:  All suggestions for Haymitch are of well known actors.  Only Haymatch could be cast with an already famous actor, in my opinion.  Other suggestions made from that original post made me say, "Huh?  Are you wack?"  They were: Phillip Seymore Haufmann, Jack Black and Wood Harrelson? Seriously folks?  Though I think they are phenominal actors, but for this roll they seriously lack the attractive factor.  If my memory serves me correctly, Haymatch is a handsome "fit" fellow and a drunk. These three actors do not qualify for the first two descriptions of Haymitch, again, in my opinion.

Fun Alternates not in poll:
Prim – Chloe Moretz
Cinna – Hugh Dancy
Effie - Zoe Deschanel

Have fun!  And don't waste too much time deciding!
