GIRL ON FIRE: Since I didn't see Winter's Bone, my sole exposure to Jennifer Lawrence has been her red carpet appearances (though I'll see her in X-Men: First Class, and may see The Beaver). As I result, I'm not quite sure what to think of reports that's she's close to signing a deal to play Katniss Everdeeen in The Hunger Games. From what I've seen thus far, she looks a little too old and too glamorous to play Katniss (though she's deglammed quite effectively in the clips from Winter's Bone I've seen)--two of the other finalists--True Grit's Hailee Steinfeld and Abigail Breslin--seem to fit the bill a little better. With Katniss cast, there's still a bunch of interesting stuff to be cast--Peeta, Haymitch, Gale, Rue, Effie Trinket (loved EW's pitch of Elizabeth Banks for the role), Cinna (Project Runway's Austin Scarlett?). Any suggestions?
