#sunrise on the reaping fancasting

[heavensbeehall]

Haymitch cannot be played by someone who is in their 30s. Because Haymitch went from 16 directly to middle-aged man in my mind.

[silentmacabre]

hey so whose **** do I have to **** to cast these two in the new hunger games together?

[satisaranea]

once again with the whole excitement about sunrise on the reaping and who will play haymitch, please keep two things in mind!

1) he's sixteen, so someone decently young would be playing him, not one of your favs or a guy older than that (that shouldn't be the case anyway but it wouldn't surprise me nevertheless)

2) his movie adaptation (played by woody harrelson) is NOT how he looks in the books. he has olive skin, grey eyes and dark curly hair. so while you'd expect that they'd cast someone who looks similar to woody, it would be inaccurate to the books. yeah! a change in appearance would be weird when they had his actor look a certain way for 4 movies, but then again, haymitch isn't white. he isn't blonde and blue eyed and he should've been played by someone who was accurate to his actual description. and again, he SHOULD be played by someone who is accurate to his actual description if he does have any apperances in sotr.

ok i have what is apparently an unpopular opinion:

i need haymitch’s actor and the other tributes to be teenagers.

i’ve seen so many people on tiktok come up with fancasts for the new movie and why is EVERYONE going for actors who are well in their late 20s/early 30s?

i get thinking about the resemblance with woody harrelson, but in my opinion it is incredibly important for the actors who play the tributes to be young or at the very least look young.

bc one of the great horrors of the games (apart from the unfairness of it all), is how young all these poor kids are.

literal children being kidnapped from their own homes and forced into a confined area where they are then forced to kill each other, all for the entertainment and financial gain of the people from the capitol.

i personally don’t have a fancast in mind bc i’m just not very good at those (feel free to share yours in the comments), but again i think it’s fundamental to the story and its message for the tributes to be teenagers.

So who are our book accurate Haymitch casting choices because I personally would like to suggest D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai

Okay, okay, okay. Hear me out. If we can’t have this:

Could we at least have this:

Im sure we’ve all seen the TikToks comparing Hunter Shaffer and Emma D’Arcy and I do agree that they have similar appearances. Not only that, but I find that Emma is a good mix of both actresses and would be a good bridge between ages. Not to mention they have proven themselves to be a phenomenal actor and definitely capable of taking on the complex character that is Tigris. Also imagine them with tiger strip tattoos, like Tigris hasn’t gone full tiger yet and is transitioning into that full feline appearance.

As for Ewan Mitchel as Coriolanus Snow I’ve stated before that Coriolanus gets plastic surgery and it’s implied a facelift by the way Katniss states his skin appears to be “too tight”. No hate to our baby but with a bit of makeup I could see it giving him a more pulled back appearance of the face, magic after all can do wonders in the hands of the right artist. I’d also think he got the surgery to appear younger and also to participate in the new process of transformation the Capitol had taken on for itself.

And as for them both working together on House of the Dragon right now, plenty of actors work together more than once. Not to mention I also don’t really think they’re seeing each other much besides at Premiers and interviews as I’m pretty sure they film at different locations and as far as I know they don’t have any scenes together this season.

the second quarter quell

it becomes clear that almost everything in this pretty place - the luscious fruit dangling from the bushes, the water in the crystalline streams, even the scent of the flowers when inhaled too directly - is deadly poisonous. […] the fluffy golden squirrels turn out to be carnivorous and attack in packs, and the butterfly stings bring agony if not death. - catching fire chapter 14

If Kiefer Sutherland doesn't play President Snow in Sunrise on the Reaping, I'm going to riot.

[dreadpiratepaige]

i've only seen one article on this casting, but how are so many people thinking they'll age tom blyth by 40 years when kiefer sutherland is right there? like, they would be almost the same age and motherfucker is basically a carbon copy of his dad.

do it, lionsgate.

Haymitch Abernathy about to inspire Plutarch Heavensbee to do a whole overthrowing the state from inside the arena.

a new hunger games movie about the 2nd quarter quell ? cast tom glynn-carney as haymitch and phia saban as maysilee.

watch their HoTD interviews. their chemistry will speak for itself.

[heavensbeehall]

Can I rant about this article for an hour? TLDR, they want Tom Glynn-Carney, who is currently playing King Aegon II on House of the Dragon to play young Haymitch calling it "too perfect."

In fact, I have seen interviewers ask Glynn-Carney about this directly which is insane to me that more than one person thought this.

First of all, Glynn-Carney (though a great actor, and is giving a surprisingly nuanced portrayal of Aegon who is fairly flat in the book) is currently 29 years old. He'll be in his 30s when this films. Objectively he is too old to play a teeanged Haymitch in a movie that won't come out for several more years.

We are looking for someone who is around 16-18 now, I would say. Who will be early 20s during filming. (Rachel Zegler is 23 now, for example but the movie was filmed two years ago.)

Secondly, he doesn't look much like Woody Harrelson to me, and he especially doesn't look like Haymitch as described in the books.

Why are people pushing this? I don't get it.

If we have to cast a House of the Dragon actor Harry Collett is right there. He's got a long face like Harrelson, but also has dark hair which is important to me personally. (Although wouldn't it be CRAZY if we actually cast someone indigenous?!?)

So I was watching a show called the girls on the bus and this girl named Sadie in the show has an editor that reminded me of haymitch then I got to thinking and honestly I feel like his actor could have played haymitch too

This is the actor I forgot his name I screenshotted this last night

My young haymitch fancast 🥰

[targwh0re]

If Mrs. Everdeen makes an appearance in Sunrise on the Reaping I would definitely want to see her Played by Emily Rudd:

I just think she has that appearance of a girl from the less poor Merchant district and she shares a similar appearance to a young Primrose Everdeen played by Willow Shields:

The rare fairer skin, and the combination of blonde hair and blue eyes. And she was described as being pretty, just being beat down by age and loss. She’d be 17 and in my opinion I think she’d be able to pass as 17, I’ve also seen a few of her pieces and she’s not a bad actress either, demonstrating an ability to show a range of emotions.

What do you think her name is? Do you think we’ll get a name for her, or even meet her? Or will it just be a small reference that we are able to work out that it is her?🤔 I would hope we would get at least one or two small scenes with her as she was friends with one of the girls reaped that year, Maysilee Donner. It’d be nice to see their goodbye and then Haymitch talking to her after the games and perhaps apologizing or something. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see🤞

[heavensbeehall]

Lulu Wilson could also be Maysilee Donner. ("The Wrath of Becky" is an indie film about a teenage girl who kills a bunch of neo-Nazis that stole her dog. And finding someone who can do stunts is important!)
