Peeta and Gale Casting Officially Announced

146

We already know that soon-to-be brunette bombshell Jennifer Lawrence will play Katniss in The Hunger Games movie. And now there's schmexy guy news!Cute boy-next-door type Josh Hutcherson will play Peeta, and Miley's ex-bf Liam Hemsworth (looking like the president of all bros in his Wikipedia pic) will play Gale.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Josh was good but mildly unattractive in The Kids Are All Right; he strikes me as the sweet but boring guy you make out with a few times because you feel bad for him, and then ignore when he FB chats you. Does that make him the perfect person to play Peeta? I don't think so—we should feel thrilled (SPOILER ALERT) when Katniss marries him at the end of the series.

Liam Hemsworth is a serious babe, but he also looks a bit date rape-y, no? And if he's going to go that blond, he should lighten up his eyebrows.

Thoughts? Concerns? Explosions of excitement? I can't wait to hear what you think!!!!!
