Behind the Screen: The Hunger Games

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

'The Hunger Games' Vs. 'Battle Royale' - Speakeasy - WSJ Unfair? Yes, Reality? No' Nobody gives a damn about THG but more would watch BR anyway. Also I disagree about how most of the audience wouldn't know what it is. That's just simply not true.

Jena Malone is in the cast as well. I loved her in Donnie Darko.

I don't think that's officially been announced yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it isn't her. She reminds me too much of Kristen Stewart.

I don't think I like Jena Malone either. I'm still curious who is going to play Finnick. What do you guys think about Alex Pettyfr? He might be good. UPDATE: OH. MY. GOD. If Taylor Kitsch gets the role I will have a fangirlgasm. UPDATE #2: I've changed my mind. Chris Zylka is the man for the job.

That's a relief, I thought I was the only one.

No. No. No. I'm expecting whoever plays Finnick to be at least 6'2. Then again, I thought Peeta would be a lot taller and Josh Hutcherson is tiny.

I agree, I don't want Alex Pettyfer to play Finnick. No thanks. I just want someone who isn't going to ruin my movie viewing experience before the movie even comes out and Pettyfer would do just that.
Bella#131
Why don't you guys like Alex Pettyfer?

I don't know who a single one of those people are. If Jena Malone is at all similar to Kristen Stewart as Molds says she is...I won't like her. All Kristen does is stand around there emotionless, with no emoting or anything, just this obnoxious blank stare. Whoever the hell the bad ppl in twilight are attack her? Same face. Edward proposes to her? Same face. She ****s Edward? Same face. It ****** me the **** offf... As for Finnick, I looked up all three of those actors, and Chris Zylka looks what I pictured him to look like...though I have zero idea if he has any talent or not. On another note, I really can't wait for the next movie to come out I saw the first 4 times in the theater and probably will more when it comes out on redbox...haha

Chris Zylka is too short. They need someone who is going to be much taller than Katniss and Peeta...Chris Zylka is only 5'9.

Everyone says how short Peeta is but I have not noticed that at all. I rarely notice height in movies, unless you were to get a midget or someone who is monstrously tall. Someone told me alot of actors are short, idr why... idr from the books but was Finnick described as really tall or is that just how yall pictured him?

Can you hear that? That is the sound of my heart breaking. He has an enormous presence on screen. I really think he can pull it off. Prease?

Isnt Finnick supposed to be better looking than Peeta? If so, THAT'S where Chris Zylka doesnt meet the criteria.

Are you talking about Liam Hemsworth? The guy that plays Gale? Because Liam is way hotter than Josh. Josh is cute, but not hot.

No freaking way. Hutcherson is a baby. Zylka is a man.... a beautiful, beautiful man.

Are you high? Liam isn't that hot. Neither is Chris Zylka.

Zylka's old, which is nice for older people i guess. Haha

No, I am not high. I would take any of the Hemsworth brothers over Josh Hutcherson any day of the week. :D

Chris Zylka is 27. That's not old. Josh Hutcherson can't even buy alcohol legally. He's still a baby with a baby face.

Finnick is older than Peeta. He's about the same age as Zylka.. and much better looking. FYI, you're talking to the wrong chick if you think older women should stick to older men. I'm a cougar in training pal. lol

Older, check. Better looking, not in my opinion Then Josh Hutcherson should be fine for you?

He's too short. Also, probably a bit too young. Is he 21 yet? lol
