Josh Hutcherson on Catching Fire Casting
“I’m super excited, I think that Jena Malone is fantastic, [Amanda Plummer is] fantastic and Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of my favourite actors ever, everything he does. he’s the most epic guy, so I was like ‘You’re doing our movie?’ I was blown away by him.”
Jena Malone you say? Hmmm interesting! Very interesting! Do you think Josh has accidentally confirmed? Or is he an avid reader of The Hollywood Reporter?













































HE SAID JENA MALONE!
Thank ya josh
YES HE DID! Please be true!
That’s a significant little slip there!! Nice one Josh!! Wonder if he’ll be in trouble?!
I think she’s got the role
IMDb has Jena Malone listed as cast for Catching Fire.
OMG That’s awesome! I’m sure some higher-ups are banging their heads on a desk somewhere, saying “No, no, no… we haven’t made any official announcements yet….”
Oh, no! Josh! I hope he doesn’t get in trouble. That’s a pretty major slip-up.
I like her, a lot! She looks the part and gives off Johanna’s kind of demeanor.
I always imagined her (well, a younger version of her) as Clove.
I hope she got the part! =)
Yes!!
PLZ BE THE PART oops are lil joshie poo had a slip up
its ok we still luv ya xoxo
Ummmm what did I freakin put a couple days ago? Yes I put nancy McCoy would play Johanna! Lol I meant Jena! I’m so happy for her! I loved her in Hatfields and McCoys. Even thoug I’m a hatfield by family I still love her lol! I’m a hatfields and I’m not jk
I dont think i’ve ever seen her act but I think she will do good. Poor Josh he just gave away a huge secret. Maybe we can trick him into telling us who will play Finnick!
Lolol he said Jena Malone!!! I hope its true. Maybe we will here this week. I want him to sleep up and say who Finnick is!!!
*slip up not sleep up.
whole lionsgate is probably facepalming at Josh right now and his agent is begging them not to fire him just because he spills all their little secrets
I still think this whole situation is really funny tbh x) poor josh, but i actually like the idea of jena as johanna
I really want Jena for Johanna (they’ve got the same initals!), but i think he just said it because he knows we all know that shes the lead contender… but please be Jena!!!!!
oh, josh, you’re in trouble!
either way, isn’t it about time they gave us more casting news? hint hint, lionsgate, it’s monday…
Oh man, I wonder if he just made a major slip. If he did, I think we should all expect an official statement from Lionsgate pretty soon. Haha But, who knows? Maybe he’s just been reading up on the rumors too. Even though IMDb says she’s Johanna, I don’t know if that’s true. They did the same thing with Mia Wasikowska and then they changed it to Jena. IMDb is jumping to conclusions – I guess they’re just as excited as we are.
Anyway, I hope Josh doesn’t get in trouble if he just gave something away tha he wasn’t supposed to.
Hopefully, though, he won’t get in to too much trouble if it actually is true that she’s been cast because he’s such a vital person tO the movies. They wouldn’t fire him for something like that because he’s PEETA. He’s too significant and has already been established as an important character to the series – and all of us – so there’s no way they’d get rid of him. We all love him as Peeta too much. I’ve always thought he was the perfect Peeta. Anyway, I just hope he doesn’t get in too much trouble. D:
Poor Josh does not even realize the chick has not been confirmed by Lionsgate…smh. Hoping its true for his sake, but not really.
I think it’s a clear slip up, I don’t think he’ll get in trouble for it though. Ya never know though, he couldv’e perpousfully said that to throw people off, or they could’ve been talking about it before hand. IDK… we’ll have to wait and see O.o
Hope he doesn’t get in trouble for that now that she IS Johanna!
I’d imagine it was official before we common folk heard about it, and he simply spoke off of his prior knowledge. Probably the worst he’s guilty of is announcing something a bit early that had already been finalized.
Hope he doesn’t get in trouble. It’s a shame, because Josh rocks at PR, always. He’s never had a slip and he always interviews well, so hopefully Lionsgate won’t be too mad.
You guys realize that Jena Malone was put up as Johanna like 2 weeks ago on IMDB? So I don’t think he really annouced it early…
@Mockingjay on Fire You do realize that anyone with a pro account can go in and edit the cast on IMDb right? Jena’s casting was speculated, now it’s been confirmed.
@Mockingjay on Fire – Yes, but lots of people can edit IMDB, so we have all been waiting for an official announcement from Lionsgate.
@Emily414 – I was thinking the same thing about him rocking at PR, so I am wondering if perhaps he knew they were going to break the news today/this week? It didn’t really sound like a slip-up, so as SPM said he could be speaking from prior knowledge.
At any rate if it is a slip-up it’s at least not a massive one, as the rumour has been out for some time, and it would have to Josh’s first. Just like Peeta he is “reliably good”
Lolol he was right!!!!
That’s probably why they announced it. Any who..thank you Josh!!!! ;D
Haha Josh, well she’s officially Johanna now! YAY!
LOL Josh, I know what you did there, buddy.
If Josh not little slipped-up, Johanna role will be revealed the last, right. Same time as Finnick role, I guess. Josh admiring Jena, cool.
My name is Josh Hutcherson. I am nineteen years old. My home is Kentucky. I am in The Hunger Games movie franchise. I let the casting news escape. Lionsgate hates me.
Josh: Jena Malone is gonna be great!
Lionsgate: *facepalm*
ummmm……. u guys know that lionsgate already confirmed that jena malone would play johanna it was already official
