Hunger Games - The Movie

Have you read the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins?  They are excellent books.  Let me give you the quick intro, if you have not heard about these excellent books yet.

                       

In a future North America, where the rulers of Panem maintain control through an annual televised survival competition pitting young people from each of the twelve districts against one another, sixteen-year-old Katniss's skills are put to the test when she voluntarily takes her younger sister's place.  (This is just the description for the first book.  I don't want to give away any plot points by telling you about the other two)

The first book (and probably the other two at some point) is being made into a movie, to come out sometime next year.  For you fans out there, I thought I would share the casting details we already know (or have guessed at!)
