Willow ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
I'm intrigued by that casting and am going to come right out and say that I'm pleased. I think picking an actor who doesn't fit the appearance of what would think of a kindly, quiet (and sneaky) fashion designer works for the character, IMO.
Plus, I did kind of go to a happy place when I pictured him in Cinna's signature gold eyeliner.
Now I'm wishing they'd casted Aldis Hodge as Cinna.
I'm always pleased to see Lenny wherever I can, but I'm still adjusting to him as Cinna.
I never thought of Aldis Hodge -- that could have been fantastic.
I just finished Mockingjay, and I spent the whole time reading the three books picturing Cinna as JGL because smonster planted that idea in my head. (But let's be honest, it's not very difficult at all to plant JGL in my head.)
But now that I think about Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, I like it.
I guess I just think of Lenny Kravitz as too built to be from the Capital. I always thought of the citizens in the capital as weak and thin. I'm happy to be convinced though, I do love me some Kravitz.
District 1 has Careers. They can't all be slight.
ita! How are you doing? We were a little worried we hadn't heard from you. /natter
I got home last night and fell over asleep. Mostly dazed today.
The book description is messing with me. Cinna is supposed to be (I believe) thin and somewhat androgynous (at least with softened features), so Lennie just didn't fit my mental image.
a taller Prince could work, but Kravitz doesn't - in my estimation.
Hunger Games: Toby Jones as as Claudius Templesmith.
