Wes Bentley To Portray Seneca Crane in ‘The Hunger Games’
LOS ANGELES, CA, May 05, 2011- Lionsgate® and the filmmakers of THE HUNGER GAMES are pleased to announce that actor Wes Bentley (AMERICAN BEAUTY, GHOST RIDER) has been cast in the role of Seneca Crane in the much anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ worldwide smash hit novel.
Bentley joins a cast of talented young actors – Jennifer Lawrence as series heroine Katniss Everdeen with Willow Shields as little sister Primrose, and Josh Hutcherson, who was cast as Peeta Mellark, with Liam Hemsworth in the role of Gale Hawthorne. Paula Malcomson will be playing Katniss and Primrose’s mother. It was also announced that Elizabeth Banks has signed on for the part of Katniss’ pre-games handler Effie Trinket.
Bentley is represented by WME and Untitled Entertainment.
Oops! I meant to say Seneca not Cinna in my previous comment.
perfect!!
Wow. He was executed, lol, but thats bad, but I m fine with the casting. It looks like Suzanne & Gary are doing GREAT jobs to casting, because we all warm up to them one way or another.
Lovin this cast so far
Holy freaking hell ! you people only care about hots! You guys suck!
Sure, think he can play the part!
Good, good
I did imagine him a little older but honestly he was hardly in the book so I don’t really mind
I’d prefered he was Cinna….
TO EVERYONE SAYING HIS ROLE HAS BEEN EXPANDED: IT HAS! SC CONFIRMED IN AN INTERVIEW THAT WE WILL CUT AWAY TO HIM THROUGH THE ENTIRE GAMES , IT IS ALSO RUMORED HE WILL BE MADE INTO ONE OF THE MAIN ANTAGONISTS OF THE MOVIE. We will also cut away to Gale and Haymitch during the games. I like these changes. Besides, it gives us a bigger chance that we’ll see Bonnie and Twill’s battle in CF, because it’s place in the timeline of the series would be very boring if we just stuck with Katniss!
who’s Seneca Crane?? Pls explain who he is to me…pleeaase
@muggle: they probably have all those people cast now, but are waiting to announce them.
Wow! I can’t wait to see what is going on with the Gamemakers during the Hunger Games!
OOOOOOOO SEXYSEXY

PERFECT Finally they can get someone right!!(
