He isn't quite what I pictured for Finnick. Hmm.

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.
My ideal Finnick would be Jensen Ackles, but alas I do not think that will happen.
When I looked at sites with rumors and speculation, the name that seemed to come up a lot was Zac Efron.
Isn't Finnick supposed to be unreasonably pretty? In which case my ideal casting would be like Anne's: Jensen Ackles ten years ago. (I think he's gorgeous now, but when he was younger he looked positively unnatural, which would work for the role.)
that was an April Fool's joke being used by a few Hunger Games tumblrs. maybe they latched onto that. heads will roll if it's real. the best casting i've seen for Finnick is Garrett Hedlund. he works for me.
Oh, he could work. Jensen is sadly too old now.
Do we just hate Pattinson because he was in Twilight? Because I remember an awful lot of Cedric-swooning back in the HP4 days...
I don't have a strong opinion re: Finnick casting, but Pattinson definitely seems unnaturally pretty to me. Not that I think they'd cast him.
I don't hate him, but he isn't as attractive to me as he was when he was Cedric. Almost like the Twilight swooning has gone to his head or something.
Bradley James, who plays Arthur in the BBC Merlin, has that ridiculous anime-character-pretty face and can actually act. He may make a decent Finnick. IMDb says he's 28 but he could probably pass for younger. How old is Finnick supposed to be? Mid-20's?
Mid-20s, yeah. But they're casting older.
