Suzanne Collins on Forbes’ 10 Rising Stars to Watch

 Every year Forbes publishes their list of the world’s most powerful celebrities in the Celebrity 100. Although Suzanne Collins didn’t make the cut this year, Forbes believe the author is someone “you should be keeping an eye on”

Author Suzanne Collins has a good chance of making the list next year. There are more than 36 million copies of her Hunger Games trilogy in print and the film based on the first book has earned $620 million at the global box office. Collins will get a tiny slice of the profit from the film but it could be enough to land her on our list.

By the time Catching Fire sets the box office alight we would be very surprised if Suzanne doesn’t make the list.

Eyes Open, Taylor Swift’s second song to be featured on the soundtrack The Hunger Games: Songs From District 12 and Beyond, now has an official music video. Unfortunately, apart from the lyrics, references to The Hunger Games are thin on the ground in the stop motion video.

Casting Fire: Fancasting Richard Jenkins as Beetee

We’re back again with our third week of Casting Fire in which the Mockingjay.net staff discusses the potential of actors for roles in ‘Catching Fire’. This week we’re discussing Richard Jenkins, who recently starred in the Lionsgate film ‘The Cabin in the Woods’.

Crystal

I recently saw Richard Jenkins in Cabin in the Woods and thought he was quite good. However, he doesn’t really scream Beetee for me as much as some of our other casting choices. He does sport glasses and the nerd look well, but not really in the way that I imagined Beetee. Richard Jenkins in my mind is typecast as a teacher, a principal, an uncle, or a doctor. He may be a great actor, but he’s just not my Beetee. That being said, his role in ‘Cabin in the Woods’ was quite… relevant to a role as Plutarch instead of Beetee!

Erin

The only thing I’ve ever seen Richard Jenkins in is when he played Justin Timberlake’s dad in ‘Friends With Benefits’. Based on that role alone, I can’t say whether or not he would make a good Beetee. Too me, he looks older than I imagine Beetee to be (he’s in his mid-60s) and he doesn’t look like much of a nerd. Of course, the right pair of glasses and some time in makeup could cure all that, but as of right now I’d have to say that Richard is not my Beetee.
