Official: Sam Claflin Cast as Finnick Odair in ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’
It’s official, tributes. Sam Claflin has been cast as District 4 victor Finnick Odair in ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’. Official press release:
Santa Monica, CA, August 22, 2012- Lionsgate® and the filmmakers of THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE are pleased to announce that Sam Claflin has been cast in the role of Finnick in the much anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ worldwide smash hit novel Catching Fire. Charasmatic and clever, Finnick was a District 4 Hunger Games victor when he was fourteen.
After breaking out in his role as the romantic lead in last year’s PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES, Claflin starred in the box office smash SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN playing Prince William alongside Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth. He recently finished filming THE QUIET ONESopposite Jarred Harris, and MARY & MARTHA, in which he co-stars with Hilary Swank.

@sym,
I’m sorry if what I said came across to you that way. What I meant to say is that while it will still be just as sad a devastating as it was in the book, it may not be as grisly and horrific as was to
@sym,
I’m sorry if what I said came across to you that way. What I meant to say is that while it will still be just as sad a devastating as it was in the book, it may not be as grisly and horrific as was to me when I read it since it will probably be different from what I pictured while reading. I’m terribly sorry for the misunderstanding. I was feeling particularly angsty and upset at the time.
Sorry for the double post. Typo.
@ Crystal – ok.
Greate article. Keep writing such kind of info on your blog.
Im really impressed by your site.
Hey there, You have done a great job. I will certainly digg it and individually suggest to my friends.
I am confident they will be benefited from this web site.
After the anger, and the disappointment, there’s still no acceptance for me SC as Finnick. Ok, he’s cute, but he’s not a stunning beauty. There is nothing Finnick in him (I’ve seen shooting pictures of CF), he’s physically too young, not enough build up, no bronze hair or tan skin and not so green eyes. I’m happy Lionsgate thought to approach and approach Garrett Hedlund : Garrett is the closest Finnick to me (I insist that I didn’t have any reclutance about Josh and Jen). He has this so deep voice, this charisma, these blue-green eyes…(I’m not fangirling), but Garrett is really stunning and he’s very committed to his work and this is something I like very much (and it sounds is On The Road for the Academy Awards because of….On The Road!). So if time was on his side, he would certainly be chosen to be Finnick. I’m not giving up on this idea, because there are two other movies left and some changes can happen (depending on SC schedule – it happened for Thor Thor 2 Batman Begins The Dark Knight Twilight 1-2, Twilight 3 ; viewers reactions…). I’m not desperate, I just don’t like the fact that SC is cast as Finnick, I can’t accept it and I’m fine with it. It’s my choice. But I LOVE Jena Malone as Johanna, she’ll rock!
