Chloe Moretz Interested in the ‘Hunger Games’ Movie

Categories: The Hunger Games Movie
A few sites out there have been speculating on who’ll lead the film as our heroine, Katniss Everdeen.
Suggestions have included Ellen Page, Camilla Belle, Kristen Stewart, Malese Jow, Jodelle Ferland and even Megan Fox. Some of the suggestions floating around aren’t half bad, but there’s one name missing from all of these lists that should be at the top, Kick-Ass’ Chloe Moretz. In fact, the young actress wants it herself!
During a recent chat about the Kick-Ass DVD and Blu-ray release, we spared some time to talk about her upcoming projects Hugo Cabret, The Rut and Hick. All of those films sound promising, but I couldn’t help but to ask if Moretz had ever read The Hunger Games. She knew exactly what I was getting at and didn’t even answer the question, she just said, “I really really want to be in it.” The enthusiasm continued when I suggested she’d be perfect for the lead role. “I would so so so so so love to be in this film.” She added, “It would be such an honor to be in it.”
I think it’s safe to say that once The Hunger Games casting commences, Moretz will at least seek out an audition. Ever since Kick-Ass she’s the hottest commodity in Hollywood when it comes to playing a young girl with a little edge. Moretz made the perfect hero in Kick-Ass, so doing so in the Panem Hunger Games should be no problem. The only thing that might work against Moretz is her age. However, this is Hollywood we’re talking about, an industry where a 30-year-old can pass as a high school student. There’s no reason Moretz can’t play a 16-year-old. Plus, should the first film spawn into a franchise, she can grow with it.

She dosen’t look like Katniss at all!

I think she is bad ass. I like it 
0 0
Rue, definitely.
Katniss, not so much.
0 0
no way… maybe as someone else but not katniss.

I would have said Madge at first- (She looks older than she really is!), but I think she’d make a perfect Prim like you mentioned! 
0 0
For Katniss? NONONONONONONONO. No way!!!
For Madge? YESYESYES. =) Perfect.
0 0
i think she should not play katniss but i would think she would be great for prim or madge
0 0
She’d make a fantastic Katniss, she’s a very talented actress and very mature. Get her into make up and let her get into the character and she’ll do wonders.
0 0
She just doesn’t look like Katniss. It’s clearly stated that Katniss has dark hair. Although, she might dye her hair dark, but I think she should keep the color and audition for Madge. She fits the bill of Madge wonderfully.
0 0
I like her. her face really looks like it could work for katniss, she also has that edge that is needed for the role, however is is young so the age might impact the choice, however she is 13 now and the movie might not get going until one or two years have pasted, and she will be closer to the age. of course she would have to dye her hair, but i think her face has it. whom ever ends up playing Katniss i pray that it is NOT a big hollywood name yet I’m hoping that they get actors that no one has really seen.
0 0
Madge, or Katniss once her hair is dyed black, it just might work. Who ever gets the roles in the movie(s), I hope the actors are closer in age to the characters in the book. Come on, Megan Fox as Katniss? Ellen Page? Kristen Stewart? Ugh!!! Please just get someone that is age appropriate so they can play the roles for all three movies.
0 0
There’s also several tributes she could play. She could dye her hair red and be Fox Face =3
0 0
PLEASE GOD NO!
0 0
No.
0 0
No. Just…no.
Madge maybe…but NOT Katniss
0 0
No, not Katniss. Maybe Prim or Foxface.
And I really hope they don’t pick Kristen Stewart.
0 0
NO NO NO NO.
Can I say it again? NO!
She doesn’t fit any of the parts. Gahhhh.
0 0
Honestly, this is how I imagined Madge and Maysilee Donner.
I think she should play one of them, but I don’t really like her as Katniss. That one Kaya Scodelario girl would be perfect for Katniss, IMO!
0 0
JMP,
Rue? She was only 12 years old! And if we’re going by descriptions from the book, Chloe Moretz still wouldn’t fit it.
0 0
@Gab-YES! KAYA! NOT CHLOE!
0 0
Oh no, too sweet looking for Katniss
Magde or Prim, Yes!
0 0
i think she is too old to be prim, and i definitly wouldn’t like her as katniss, but she would be a good madge
0 0
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO…..and on and on. No WAY! At least not as Katniss, please. Besides, she IS only 13. I really hope that the age factor does work agaisnt her! I know that sounds really mean but I just really do not want her as Katniss.
0 0
No, definitely not Katniss. As said, she would make a wonderful Madge, but Katniss? No. Just…no.
0 0
I love her and think shes SO talented, loved her in kick-ass, but shes just not Katniss….one of the other tributes, maybe Glimmer? cause shes all blonde and pretty, but no…not katnisss…I think Kaya is a million times better…shes my choice!!!!
0 0
she would make a better Clove than anything else in the movie…she should absoulutly NOT play Katniss or Prim!!!
0 0
Didn’t realize she was that young, so Chloe as Prim or Rue would be a better fit. The actress for Katniss has to be something special though. Olive colored skin and grey eyes, so a bit of a mediterranean look to her, which doesn’t sound like Kaya.
0 0
She’s too young, plain and simple! Maybe makeup movie magic could sharpen her face slightly, but there’s a youthful innocence to her that is just nooooot Katniss.
No offense to her though, Kiss-ass was GREAT
0 0
Jodelle, Ellen, or Melesa would be good for the part. But they all better have dark hair. yea im talking to you Ellen.
Kristin can slide because she already got her stardom.
0 0
I agree, Prim or Madge. Maybe more Madge…Or Clove or Glimmer…I really don’t know..
I’m just pissed that Kaya Scodelario doesn’t get any recognition.. =(
0 0
everyone has to remember that Katniss doesn’t look her age and is short. she needs to be somewhat little to be able to climb high in those trees.
0 0
She’s as cute as kittens but can we please just have someone who actaully looks like Katniss?!? I get the whole make-up thing but why go through it all when there are way better actresses who could fit the part better than her? In fact, she looks like the exact opposite of what Kat should look like. No. Kaya is way better.
0 0
who thinks Selena Gomez should do it?
0 0
If she wants to be in the movie, I’m fine with that. As Katniss, I’m not sure I can support. Anyway, she seems cool, and she actually knows about the series! So I hope she gets to be someone, other than Katniss, in the movie.
Malese Jow was also mentioned in the article. I don’t know anything about her, but I just looked her up & judging by her looks, I think she would make a great Katniss!
0 0
No not at all to sweet and young theres not enough movie magic srry shes pretty i think madge thought she would be good at that or some tribute but NOT KATNISS!
0 0
Madge-ish more than anything.
0 0
So many of you are saying NO, but have you seen her in Kick-Ass? She is anything but a sweet little girl. These pictures do absolutely nothing to show what she could be like in The Hunger Games. Please, go look up the trailer for the movie Kick-Ass before you speak. Critics said she absolutely stole the show in that movie. I, for one, am 100% fine with her playing Katniss, but I’ll be excited about whoever gets the part.
0 0
Uhhhh no she probably shouldn’t play Rue.. why do people keep forgetting that Rue has dark skin?
I’m still rooting for some unknown talent, but I wouldn’t be distressed or anything if Chloe Moretz gets it, she seems ok!
0 0
Too young, but even with the right age, she just doesn’t look like Katniss should at all.
She might have been a good fit for Prim, except she’s too old.
0 0
I loooooooooooooooove Chloe Moretz!!! she totally needs to be in it. perhaps not Katniss, BUT it’d be interesting to see her try it. I love her, and perhaps Prim would be good. Or one of the female tributes, like Clove or Glimmer? I’d LOL if they cast her as Effie despite her age xD. But, if they made her skin and hair darker… MAYBE she could pull off Katniss. MAYBE.
0 0
OMG she would make the perfect Madge, idk about Katniss though, she is bad ass, but her hair, skin, eyes do not match. Hollywood can make it happen with makeup, contacts, and dye, but still.
Prim is 12 people, she wouldnt make a good Prim cuz Moretz obviously is taller than a twelve yr old, and Rue is dark skinned and she’s also 12 so i dont think she would make a good rue either.
but i guess i can make exceptions.
0 0
When I heard this news I instantly thought NO, SHE CANNOT BE KATNISS, and I still think that. In my opinion, she would make a very cute Prim, and like others have suggested, I think she would be a perfect Madge.
I definitely think Kaya Scodelario would make the perfect Katniss. SHe’s the perfect age, and she has the look. I don’t know if she’s being considered for the role or not., though.
I really hope they don’t choose someone like Kristen Stewart, although she wouldn’t be able to do it because her filming schedule is crazy busy this year, or Megan Fox – she’s not right for Katniss AT ALL.
0 0
No! She would be the perfect Madge though. But Katniss????? NOOOO! D: Kaya Scoledario is definately my favorite for Katniss so far
0 0
NOT KATNISS!!!
0 0
I think she’d do well as Katniss, but she doesn’t look like Katniss is described. Not Prim or Rue. I don’t know who she should play, but she should be in the movie.
0 0
SHE is probably the worst suggestion out of all of them.
so there fore, i agree with ANNIE
0 0
Madge I can see, although my favorite Madge is Anna Sophia Robb but definitely not Katniss!
0 0
She should be Madge but not Katniss! She seems to sweet to play Katniss!
0 0
Malese Jow is a no-go for me. Asian Katniss? Bleh.
0 0
Ugh!!!! So frusterating!! First of all she is 13! Katniss is 16!!! I’m sorry, but I’ve seen all of her movies and she has a baby-face! She could pull off Prim though. And by the way, Rue has a dark skin tone, way darker than Katniss. I vote unknown actors for almost EVERYONE!!!!!!
0 0
I love her but I don’t think she’s right for Katniss. Her face isn’t right for Katniss because she has soft features. I imagine her, like others, as Madge.
“Suggestions have included Ellen Page, Camilla Belle, Kristen Stewart, Malese Jow, Jodelle Ferland and even Megan Fox.” I still prefer Kaya Scodelario as Katniss over any of them. Especially Megan Fox. xD
0 0
Shes is so pretty and an awesome actress, but not for Katniss now way!! I think Madge is a prefect fit for her.
0 0
Perfect Madge. Ive never seen her acting, but if she REALLY wants the role, i think she’d be great. i think the more fans in the movie, the better. But i still think Lucy Hale (Aria in Pretty Little Liars) would be the best choice
0 0
maybe Madge or Prim but NOT Katniss… or maybe one of the tributes?
0 0
umm no Lucy Hale should not be Katniss!! im sorry!!! her face still speaks gentle to me.
and Chloe looks too old for Prim
0 0
I think she would make a good glimmer but definately not a katniss..

TELL HER SHE SHOULD BE PRIM PRIM PRIM not KATNISS no offence she’ good but not this role
0 0
they could dye her hair and tan her skin and she could be rue or she could be prim…but katniss?
0 0
Leah,
Yeah, some people always forget Rue had black hair, dark skin, and golden brown eyes.
0 0
BTW “movie magic” didn’t do wonders for Harry Potter. They made all this money from the movies, but they couldn’t give Daniel Radcliffe green contacts!?
0 0
I wouldn’t mind it if she got a tan and died her hair. She does not look fourteen. Thirteen. Whatever. She’s actually one of my favorites. I also like the idea of Kaya Scodelario and Emma Roberts.
0 0
No just no, no totally no. I really think she’s too soft and yea she would be a perfect Madge though, i really think that she would be an awsume Madge. But to me Kaya Scodelario is like my favorite Katniss to me. I really really really wish Kaya gets the part.! But really not this girl.
0 0
Chloe would be a perfect Prim, but definitely not Katniss. There better be absolutely NO Twilight actors in Hunger Games or I will refuse to see it. None of the Twilight actors can act properly to save their lives. And Chloe could not be Rue, because Rue is black. Doesn’t anybody read? Sheesh.
@Gab; The reason Dan didn’t wear green contacts is because they bothered his eyes (they tried to have him wear them when the movies first started). Though they could’ve done something with special effects to make his eyes look green whenever there was a closeup of him. They better do that when Snape dies in the 7th book (because he tells Harry to look at him).
0 0
@Jessica, Yeah, I was just about to say that. Gab, they tried to give him contacts for Philosopher’s Stone, but they made his eyes tear up. He is actually wearing them for the last scene of the first movie because that was the first scene they filmed.
And I think Chloe Moretz would be great for Madge. In my perfect cast, Katniss will be played by an unknown actress and i just don’t see Chloe Moretz as Katniss. This said, I do think out of all the people suggested so far, I think Kaya Scodelario is the best for Katniss. But guys, you’re forgetting a bunch of things about the books. Rue has dark skin. Katniss has olive skin and black hair. Why are people suggesting someone with blond hair and white skin for her? I don’t know if Hollywood makeup would work to make someone like Chloe Moretz look like Katniss. Why would it be a problem to find someone who actually looks like Katniss? Also, the actress who plays Katniss can’t be too old-remember, Katniss is not big for her age and she is almost starving. And, if Catching Fire and Mockingjay are made into movies, she can’t be, like, 21 years old!
0 0
@ Mel C, nobody ever said Katniss wasn’t Asian. Panem is in the future, and maybe one of her ancestors or maybe even her Dad was Asian. I’d rather Malese Jow play Katniss than Megan Fox or Kristin Stewart!
I think I will pour bleach in my eyes after seeing that movie if there are any Twilight actors or actresses in THe Hunger Games. Kristen Stewart keeps being suggested, but does anyone actually want her as Katniss or is this just like movie reporters thinking, “Hmmm…popular movie (Twilight), maybe the heroine could play the lead in this Hunger Games movie.”?
0 0
The reason i’d hate kristen stewart in hunger games isn’t because she’s in twilight… it’s cause she’s such a bad actor. Seriously. Not all twilight actors are bad. Just some of them (AHEM stewart and patterson fjajkjkafsjkdhfkyuck)
0 0
HUh. Asian Katniss. It could work- olive skin and black hair sound asian. Although I think a lot of people would be surprised
And oh my dear lord Megan Fox?? Neeever, please
0 0
no.
No.
NO.
Am I clear?
No.
And all this talk about Twilight actresses? Folks, we should, as fans of a SEPARATE FANDOM, at least try to keep the two separated. If i so much as think that i see a Twilight actor or actress in the promos, not matter how small a role, i wioll not watch it. I am apart of both fandoms, but I don’t want them all to be in one big mixing pot of YA books.
That’s my little rant of the day.
0 0
She’d be an amazing Prim, but she’s not Katniss for me.
I vote Nina Dobrev as Katniss, personally. She’s incredible, and even looks like the chick on the UK cover. Sorted!
0 0
I think she would be a better Madge because she is described as having light hair and fair skin. Katniss is supposed to have olive skin and black hair.And 100% NO to Megan Fox. Why even suggest her?? Same with Kristen Stewart.
0 0
NO!!! NEVER!!! she is NOTHING like Katniss in any way!!! Katniss has grey eyes, black hair, OLIVE SKIN, Shes short and katniss has a shaper face then that-(I could go on forever)…JUST NO!!!
Glimmer. yes. she can be glimmer. BUT NOT KATNISS!!!
NOT PRIM (Well…ok maybe prim)!!
NOT MADGE!!!
NOT CLOVE!!!
GLIMMER ALL THE WAY!!!

*sigh* if the fandom was incharge of casting….

As long as it’s not Kristen Stewart!!! Yuck!!!

I’d LOVE to see her in it. She’s an amazing actress

WHAT THE BLEEPING BLEEP! SHE HAS NO TAN SKIN, NO BLACK HAIR, AND IS BLEEPING THIRTEEN. NO.
0 0
UGH!!!!
She can be in the movie, but not as Katniss. She is so not Katniss!
And Kristen Stewart can’t be Katniss, she’s Bella.
STOP THE MADNESS!! 
0 0
so we’ve all agreed she’s no katniss, but what role would she fit? I only see madge…
0 0
I don’t see why not, if she is a talented actor with a little edge. Her hair and eye color don’t matter, that can be fixed easy enough. I am just hoping for someone with acting skills. And to be honest, I am surprised that Kristen Stewart’s name is mentioned at all. She is the queen of the pregnant pause and it is SO IRRITATING!!!
0 0
Ok um NOOOOOO! Definately not katniss. Madge maybe, yea i can see that but NO to Kirsten Stewart (she has twilight), NO to megan fox(she had transforomers),NO to ellen page (i don’t want 2 think of Juno every time i see her as “katniss” and NO to camilla Belle (i don’t want to think of when a stanger calls every time i see her as “katniss”) Nope NO-SIR-EEE. haven’t eard of the other 2 but yea NO! i swear fans need to be casting directors *deep sigh*
0 0
I think I can see it. I saw her in Kick-Ass and she was really good as a tough girl. When casting finally starts she’ll be old enough.
My only problem (the other would be fixed simply with hair dye) is that she’s a bit paler than I would have expected for Katniss.
But, HELLO to the people saying she could be Rue. Rue is Black. As in the DARK BROWN SKIN described in the book.
Sorry, it’s just that this book has diversity in it and people don’t seem to get that with their “imaginary castings”. It’s annoying. I just hope there’s no race!fail with this movie.
0 0
Oh MY GOSH PEOPLE!!!!! First of all Suzanne Collins, and Mockingjay.net said so themselves that the movie is expected the release of the movie to be early 2011!! The script is done, they’re looking for a director, casting will take place in October\November, and then they have all of the rest of November, and December to film and produce!!! Also if they need more time, they can take up January and February, and then the movie will be ready for March!!!! IT CAN BE DONE!!!!! She would be too young still to be katniss! Not that she isn’t a great actress…there’s just an age difference. I don’t think she should be Kilmer either, because Glimmer is obviously older than her plus, in the interview Katniss describes Glimmer’s personality as sexy, she is wearing a low cut dress, I don’t think a 13 year old should be wearing that. However, she could work as Madge or Prim, because she is closer to their ages and fits their description.
0 0
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE HER ACTING, but she just doesn’t seem right. I agree that she’s a Prim. FO SHO.
0 0
I agree with Margaret. The imaginary castings on youtube and some other websites really do have a “racefail”. It’s so frustrating.
And yeah, Chloe Moretz as Madge!
0 0
YES, Chloe Moretz as Katniss. I’m agree. Nowadays physical appearances doesn’t be the main priority for casting (Vampire Diaries, etc). They prefer to look at acting ability first. After that, they’ll work out the makeup if necessary (tanning, dyeing, etc).
0 0
she’d have to die her hair but yes she has got the face for it.
She might do better as another tribute though
0 0
@Misa:
Exactly. If I must choose, I prefer acting chops more than appearance anytime. And Chloe has proven it 2 times already. Her appearance doesn’t match the character from books Let The Right One In & Hugo Cabret, but she got the roles, beaten other actresses who have more matching physical traits. She can do it again.
0 0
There is one huge reason why Chloe should not play Katniss:
All of the actors that have been fan favorites for Peeta (Alex Pettyfer, Lucas Till ect…) are all atleast 7 years older than her! And if none of those people are cast, than the actor will probably be around the age of 18-20!!! Could you imagine a 13 year old having to do make-out scenes with someone 5 to 7 years older? Bleck! It would be extremely hard to fake a romance with a good looking guy that is older than you. I’m the same age as Chloe and just thinking about it makes me nervous.
0 0
I reiterate.
NINA DOBREV WOULD BE PERFECT AS KATNISS!!!
0 0
No way! The makers of the movie would be crazy if they cast that girl to play Katniss!
0 0
idk, she’s not good for katniss. maybe madge…
0 0
Ya… I really don’t see her at Katniss. My first thought was prim… but i thing she would also be good as Madge
0 0
I think that she would make a good prim, because she’s so young. I couldn’t see her as Katniss, she doesn’t have the right look, and I don’t think she should play Madge. The girl who should play madge should be someone who is older.
