The District 5 Tributes Have Been Cast In ‘The Hunger Games’
Ladies & Gentlemen, We Have a Foxface

Earlier today we read that Woody Harrelson has reportedly been offered the role of Head Gamemaster Seneca Crane in the big screen adaptation of The Hunger Games and that Stanley Tucci and Lenny Kravitz have also been offered unknown roles. Right now, tho, we learn for certain that the boy and girl tributes from District 5 have been cast for the film. Newcomers Chris Mark and Jackie Emerson have won the roles … both characters are nameless but the girl tribute from District 5 is referred to as Foxface.

Via the official The Hunger Games Facebook page, Lionsgate has announced the casting of Chris Mark and Jackie Emerson as the boy and girl (Foxface) tributes for District 5 in The Hunger Games Movie. Foxface never says a word throughout the novel, but Katniss hears her laugh when the Careers’ food is destroyed. She is quick and clever, and dashes in and out of traps to collect what she needs without bloodshed or contact with anyone.

More unknown casting, which is good, but at this point … the rest of the tributes will likely be played by other actors we’ve never heard of before. Still, I’m very glad they are casting unknown actors in the roles and I’m happy they will continue to do so. I am VERY anxious to hear which known actors will get the plumb roles so any and all casting news from The Hunger Games is welcome by me. Next up, the tributes from District 6?

    Stanley Tucci would PERFECT as Cinna. I loved him in The Devil Wears Prada and I’ve always envisioned Cinna as a similar character. I can also see him as the host who interviews contestants.

    Ohhh Dora, I like that. The commentator dude. Good call. I think Cinna is supposed to be a little younger than Tucci though right?
