Taylor Momsen cast as Katniss
Los Angeles, CA. March 31, 2010 — It looks like Little J is on her way to starring as District 12's K.
Lionsgate announced yesterday in an official press release that Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen has been slated to star as Katniss Everdeen, the female teenage protagonist in the 2011 flick "The Hunger Games", a film based on the dystopian YA novel by Suzanne Collins.
"The Hunger Games" tells the story of 16 year old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a nation born of the ruins of North America called Panem, where the harsh government called The Capitol randomly selects one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts to participate in a fight to the death in a televised competition.
As fans of the Hunger Games series will be quick to point out, Katniss Everdeen is described as olive-skinned with black hair and gray eyes and Momsen is well, quite frankly the opposite. Momsen doesn't seem to think that this serves as any obstacle. When asked about the obvious differences in her physical appearance, she replied, "I guess I'll have to wear contacts and dye my hair black. Whatever, I bleach my hair all of the time for Gossip Girl, so it's not a big deal." Momsen also stated that although she had not had the chance to read any of the books in the series, she's very excited to take on a role that will distinguish her from Brooklyn-hipster-turned-Manhattan-socialite Jenny Humphrey.
Now that the role of Katniss has been cast, the next big question on our minds is who will play Peeta, Katniss' love interest and partner in the games. We asked Momsen for her opinion. "Chace [Crawford], for sure. He's like, a big brother to me, so it would be great if he co-starred. We have real chemistry. As for Katniss' other best friend, I've always wanted to work with Adam Brody, so I'd say him. I know both of these guys are in their twenties, but so is Robert Pattinson and he's supposed to be 17 in Twilight. Anything is possible with the right amount of make-up."
The film, which begins production July 2010, has yet to announce a director, but Collins herself will be adapting the sсript, while Nina Jacobson will produce. The Hunger Games is scheduled for a 2011 release.
