That the boys are played by actors I don't know anything about and Katniss is played by an Oscar nominee seems pretty fitting.
I am just now reading Mockingjay, though, so it's not like I have spent a lot of time thinking about casting.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Punishingly Intricate
Josh Hutcherson was the son in the Kids are All Right, evidently (I didn't know him by name). I thought he was really pretty good in that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
IO9 lists 10 ways of looking at Blade Runner. They all make the story seem poseury and unattractive to me, pretty much.

I know Hemsworth as the guy from that awful Miley Cyrus movie that looked like a year-later remake of that awful Channing Tatum movie. Which does not fill me to overflowing with confidence in his acting ability.

Okay, what's weird is that I thought they were cast the other way round. Now I'm not as at peace with it.

Because books.
Re: The Hunger Games, I don't know enough about either of them to be bothered, and physically they don't look too far off the mark. Although I did imagine Peeta as blonder and Gale as dark-haired.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
or at least Peeta as light brown. isn't he supposed to be kind of beefy though?

Peeta's supposed to be blond and a bit beefier than Gale. Gale is supposed to be dark-haired, olive-skinned, and grey-eyed like Kat.
