And of course the main characters from the 1st book, you can look at them HERE. From my last blog post. 


So reading the Books and knowing it is set in North America I had to draw up a map of where I thought the 13 Districts were. So this is what I think and why I put them there. 

District 1 is one of the wealthier districts of Panem and is known for luxury items so why not put it in one of  luxury part of the united states, southern California and Las Vegas.

We find out a lot about District 2 in Mockingjay. It is close to the Capital and is in a mountainous area. 

District 3's main industry is electronics so put it where they could have factories. 

District 4 are fishers. So if course the gulf of Mexico. 

District 5. We know nothing about District 5. So I just put it where ever. 

District 6. Again we know nothing. So it is where I want it. 
And I was also thinking the Capitol would want to put the districts that don't produce the really important things in a place further away from them and in harsh not ideal places. 

District 7 is known for lumber, so I thought where are there a lot of trees and I thought of Washington State. 

District 8 is known for textiles and with that cotton. So I put it where you could grow cotton. 

District 9. Nothing. So just put where on one was. 

District 10 Livestock. What better place then Montana, North and South Dakota? 

District 11 provides food for pretty much everyone, well mostly the Capitol, so they had to be huge and cover all the places where you could grow fruits, grains and veggies. 

District 12 we know is in the Application Mountains and is known for coal mining, so I put it in Virginia area. 

District 13. We know you have to go "through" 12 to get to 13 so naturally it is above 12 in the New England area.  

The Capitol it is in the Rockies. That is really all that is said about it. So the Capitol is in Colorado. 



Ok if you have not read Mockingjay you should probably stop here. I am going to introduce some new characters.

I know I am super obsessed. But now that the books are done and this post is done...you won't hear too much from me about it. Well until they come out with the movies. 


So let me know what you think. Who did you picture? 


And some thoughts on Mockingjay. I was a bit disappointed. I mean it was a great thrilling story, but it was too much from Katniss's point of view and she was knocked out way to much to understand what was going on. I was mad at the deaths of Finnick and Prim. WHY, WHY, WHY? The ending was too sudden, there was not enough of a sense of healing. Peeta..sigh...what can I say about the whole Peeta story line? It was crazy and a good twist, but he needed to twist back more...fight harder, something. I so wanted to hear them exchange more, I wanted to hear the line "Stay with me" "Always" line at the end, I wanted Peeta to see the propo where Katniss talked about the bread. I wanted more of the "boy with the bread".  It just ended so sudden...and with Katniss being dormant and catatonic again...I was not a huge fan of that. 
So I mostly liked it, tons of action and great story, but it fell flat.

  1. i love it!

    I think youre right about almost everything.
    some of the characters i imagined just the same. Great job!

  2. I stumbled across this website while looking for some trickier players in my cast list (coin especialy) because, like u, I am completely OBSESED w/ thg series:) and ur cast list was like, the best ever!!! Thnk u thnk u thnk u!!!! I owe u sooo much!
    But I had Johanna mason as michelle rodrigues... She just seemed to fit her serious, fighter quality, and she'd be great at the whole "there's no one left that I love" aspect of Johanna. Also, she just looked a lot like how I imagined her, battle hardened, u no?
    And for sm reason, I always imagined beetee, wiress, and the morphlings black, and I STIL cannot find any pics that I think fit them.
    Also, Kaya scodelario wud be perfect I think for katniss, she's a great actress, looks like her, what more cud u want?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Oh and I noticed u didn't put Messalla in there, any reason for that?
    And while I'm asking, who is pres paylor? I haven't read the book in a while so I don't really remember everything:'(
    ooh and COMPLETELY agree w/ u about re let down of the book. It felt like I was reading a book from a diferent author, with all the deaths and suicidal thoughts on katniss's part. And what in the world happened to gale at the end??? SC spend so much time building up his and Katniss' relashionship, and she's going to ignore him for the rest of her life JUST becuz he happened to make the bomb that killed her sister?? I hate that part. If SC cud smhow rite like an alternate ending, I think she shud at LEAST have him and katnis stil be friends. They have way to much just to have it all end.
    *sighs dramaticaly*
    at least katnis ended up w/ peeta!!! I <3 that kid! He is the BEST IN THE UNIVERSE!

  4. Anonymous #2... Michelle Rodriguez would make are really great Johanna. I hadn't even thought of her. I did think of a lot of the characters as black but never Beetee, but that would be awesome, but I have no idea who would play him. Maybe Morgan Freeman....but I don't know.
    Anonymous 3#...I don't know why Messalla isn't up there! Ha ha ha, I was just so excited to put my thoughts up after I finished it...and I waited a few days and it was killing me...I missed a few characters. Pres. Paylor is from District 8. We first meet here when they are filming the propo at the hospital...and she becomes the Pres after Coin and Snow are killed. And I agree with you. I wasn't a huge fan of Gale, I LOVE Peeta, but even that made me really mad at the end. There was no resolution.

  5. Nice pics for people! They fit great! The reasons why you put districts in different locations helped me soooooooo much with my book project so THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I loved that book! I was in shock from the depressing ending for at least a week. It was just so emotional. BTW, I love the cast list, though Messalla wasn't in it.
    I agree that the third book was so depressing, and I was disappointed. Poor Prim! Why did almost all of the good characters have to die? WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    ReplyDelete
  7. I disagree with your placement of district 8. How would Bonnie and Twill have walked from district 8 to 12 in just a few weeks, as stated in the books, with few provisions? I think it would make more sense to switch 8 and 3.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I really like mockingjay, it's just, i too don't understand why SC didn't talk more about Gale and Katnis, even though he built that bomb and what not. i'm full of peeta power, but i really liked Gale. and why did Finnick and Prim die????? WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! and even though Finnick had all his lovers that he didn't love back, and how he loved Annie with all his heart, i think if Katniss tried to be friendlier to him, they could<ve been the bestest friends ever. I haven't read the books in a while, so i might have been saying stuff from all the books. AND I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE TO COME OUT!!!!!!! all hail Suzanne Collins, a genius!!! :P

    ReplyDelete
  9. i also thought Kiera Knightley might make a good Katniss. even though she's a little old. nothing a little make up can't do :) but some fan made this trailer, and she's in it. it's AMAZING!!!!!! who ever made this, i love u!!!!

  10. While I love all of your picks, most of the actors would be wayyyy to wold to pull off being fit and able victors/rebels.
    it would also probs be impossible for them to get all those stars since they probably won't have all the money for them.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Love your Morphlings, and Wiress! Great choices. How about Courtney Yates for Johanna?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Tania Raymonde as Katniss

    ReplyDelete
  13. Firstly I can't imagine Plutarch as the actor you provided because all I can do is think of Wormtail from Harry Potter. I would rather not cross Twilight/Harry Potter/Hunger Gamers actors, I mean we all see how Twilight then turned out. I imagined Plutarch to be taller and more professional. I also imagined Beetee to look smaller and more helpless. A thiner man. I feel like two of the hardest characters to cast will be Finnick. I think he should look a little more wild and sweet than the actor you showed and I am worried they will get Haymith also like one of the earlier comments said I think 11 may be a little smaller and 8 be above 11wrong. I picture him having a gravally face, gray hair. Pretty average in size, a thinner face and gray eyes.However I loved who you had for Katness's prep team. Especially Flavius!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I don't know how many of you watch The Event but I think the girl who plays Vicky (Taylor Cole) would make an amazing Johanna Mason. Watch The Event, you'll see what I mean

    ReplyDelete
  15. Demi Moore's gray hair is really showing in the short hair pic. The gray is nice on her.

    ReplyDelete
  16. it's actually pretty much either southern wv or ky that has coal, not virginia. I think it's wv.

    ReplyDelete
  17. You have such an excellent cast list!!!
    Juno Temple, Del Toro and Maggie Q= great!

    Andy Serkis as Beetee- YES!!!!!

    Emily Browning as Annie would be good as well. She has the right level of sweetness. Not sure about Jude Law as Finnick though- the two of them definitely wouldn't work together. But you are on the right track for him. I still can't decide on a perfect Finnick. Jude Law qualities would be perfect though!

    Culkin and Ryder would be great morphlings.

    I wouldn't cast Katy Perry in the film though- i odn't think people would be able to separate the "Katy Perry" personality from the character, and they would just see Perry. I think that would be a loss for the character.

    Weaver as Coin= excellent!

    Pollux and Castor- great idea! But too bad Liam has already been cast!

    Delly- I was thinking of someone with a simpler look. Maybe a bit round in the face. Sweet and nice, but simple.

    Leeg 1 and 2- please NOT Jenna Malone! She's a great actress, but I would hate for one person to play both roles! Also, she gotten sickly skinny. If she becomes more healthy, she may work for one of them.
    I was thinking canadian actresses Kailey Spear and Samantha Spear. They are twins- tall and strong, which I think is important for the roles. Also, they are actually two people.

    Tigris- Lenna looks great- she's the age I was thinking too. Though I was thinking about CHristina Ricci as well.

    Natalie Portman- great.

    Good job with this list!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yeah, this is a great list.
    I love the idea of Andy Serkis as Beetee.

    What about Mia Wasikowska. I know that it might be a too obvious casting choice, but I she would be good. She is very sweet already, so if she added a bit of an edge, it would be very interesting.

    Woof- good call on Ian Holm.

    I hope that they go with an unknown for Finnick. Someone with Jude Law qualities though- but a bit more buff. Maybe Peter Mooney.

    For the morphlings- Winnona Ryder, Demi Moore, Lindsey Lohan, Jenna Malone, John Hawkes

    Sigorney Weaver as coin is wonderful!

    Delly- someone like Alison Pill, but preferably an unknown

    Leegs- I agree- not Jenna Malone. They should look like they can fight without being blown over. And they should definitely be two separate people who are actually sisters. The Spear twins look good. I can't find very much information about them though.

    Tigris- Lisa Renna looks good. She should be a bit older than Ricci

  20. This is pretty cool. too bad liam hemsworth is gale. and demi moore bad idea for Johanna. I mean Demi Moore just doesn't remind me of a very vicious competitor.

    ReplyDelete
  21. oh and zoe saldana fits her part and will smith great boggs. Delly Cartwright is perfect!!!!! Bubbly and always happy. But Jude for Finnick?! are you freaking crazy?! worst decision on the page. horrible choice

    ReplyDelete
  22. i think that Eva mendes would make a good paylor. also Kristen belle would be good for Johanna. leeg1 and leeg2 could be emmanuelle vagieur and Michelle Rodriguez

    ReplyDelete
  23. I agree with Haley in that I worry I would just see wormtail.

    And Johanna is supposed to be young, in her 20's so I think Demi Moore is just too old.

    I like your Enobaria and Mac Culkin would make a great morphling! I love that. I like your Woof and Beetee as well.

    We have the same Annie!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Not to be rude but i EXTREMELY dislike these choices. Most of them are either to old for the part or just are not a good choice! NONE of them are good! These actors are all too familiar so at least get new people like they did for the first! Sorry but if they chose these for the movie i'd be extremely upset. Sorry but its just my opinion, no hard feelings to you!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I don't know if I'm weird or something but aren't the districts smaller. Because according to the books District 12 only has 8,000 people and that's the population of a small city so wouldn't they be smaller and not take up a few states?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Who the hell is president paylor ?? And how are the hemsworth brothers gonna be in it , only chris can be castor , liam cant be the avox . Cause if you havent noticed , liam is already gale . Yeah your obviously not that obsessed .

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. If you had read the last book you would know who Pres. Paylor is. Huge part of the book. And if you didn't notice when I posted this way back in 2010, the movies were not even close to being cast. So....yeah I would still say I was pretty obsessed. But thanks for you pointless comment! ;)

  27. GUYS LISTEN TO THIS: The one and only Finnick Odair has to be Chris Pine! Otherwise the movie will suck! He is the one, he has the eyes, the beauty, the smile and blah blah blah he's got everything for this role!
    P.S: Greetings from Greece! See u soon mockingays!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Uhm, Liam Hemsworth is already Gale so..

    ReplyDelete
  29. I agree with everything minus one thing. I see Michael Emerson as Beetee. He would be perfect in this techy role.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I really love the fact that they used a lot of unknown actors in the Hunger
    games or at least actors that weren't so over exposed for the kids. Maybe you should try doing that again. However, Haymitch and President Snow were perfectly cast.

  31. Suggestion: The Olsen Twins for the Leegs

    2. The Spear Twins are the most convincing I've seen.

      Delete
  32. NOT the Olsen twins for the Leegs! I want them to cast actual twins- but not these girls (not that they are bad actors- they just wouldn't fit into this film and they would attract a weird amount of attention to the characters). The twins should be unknowns. Twins. But unknowns. There must be some twins out there who can do it. I don't know much about the Spear twins but their names have been thrown around a bit. They might be worth looking at.

    ReplyDelete
  33. This is so awesome! My friend and I were discussing casting choices on my LJ a while back, and I actually said then that I totally wanted Maggie Q for Enobaria! I love that you came up with the same thing even though we've never spoken, because it's kind of a fringe choice? So it's so cool more than one person thought of it, lol. :)

    Here's who else we came up with:
    Finnick: Ian Somerhalder, Jon Kortajarena, Jesse Williams
    Johanna: Ruth Negga, Mila Kunis
    Annie: Emmy Rossum
    Plutarch: Michael Emerson

    And frankly I think the idea of Johnny Weir as Fulvius is pretty much the best thing ever. <3

    1. Cool vid. Those are great casting choices! I really like Weaver for Coin and Torres for York. There are some people in there I don't know. I think that they look good though. I didnt know who Alicia Vikander was, but she looks like she is doing a bunch of big stuff. I dont know the Spear sisters either, but I could see them fitting into the group of soldiers really well. The only one I have a real problem with is Denzel for Homes. That would be a bit weird.
