lol I'm so glad he actually read THG <3

Anyway, MTV is amazing. A few years ago they would ask everyone about being in Twilight, how about Twilight and etc. and now it is with THG.

Zac looks good here.

As much as I think Zac would be a good Finnick, I like that (for some reason) that he was like clueless to knowing some fans wanted that and that he didn't really comment on that because he hadn't read Catching Fire. But yay that he read THG

What does he say about Hunger Games and the role of Finnick? As you can't view the video outside of the US.

He basically just says he hasn't heard these rumors or fans talking about him being cast as Finnick. He says he's read the first book and is excited to go see the first film soon.

Thanks :)

i don't know how i feel about zac as finnick.... tbh i feel like there are other people better suited for the role. i love him, but he's not what i pictured finnick as. i really want whoever is cast to have green eyes, like in the books. someone suggested garrett hedlund and so far he's my top pick.

Well eye color is an easy change tbh, but I don't see ZAc has Finnick. Then again I didn't see Josh as Peeta (and I still don't).

oh i think josh is perfect as peeta. he's not exactly what i pictured, but he fulfills everything peeta should be. i don't have any complaints about thg casting so far.

I'm normally just a lurker who checks in to fulfill my Zac addiction, but since the topic of him playing Finnick has been addressed I can't help but feel like I should put in my two cents. Deep down I know the chances of him being cast for that role are like 2%, but I really wish it was 100%. From the moment I read about that character, I pictured him. He fits it so well. I know there is a lot of controversy about people not wanting him to revert back to a tween image, but I don't see it that way. I'm probably in the minority, but I feel like THG falls into the same category as Harry Potter. There's such a diverse group of people who are a fan of it and it proves that it's not just teenage girl material. The number of guys that love The Hunger Games is overwhelming. Also factor in the fact that Zac would be playing a character that's the exact same age as him. Personally, I love the idea.

I haven't read the books, but fell in <3 with THG- to the point that I went and saw it twice opening weekend. So, if the 2nd film/book is a fraction as entertaining as the first then I'm obviously sold on the idea of Zac being a part of another franchise. I assume this Finnick character dies anyway, yeah?

Can you post the link for the MTV video? There is just a blank where it should be, so I can't see it. Thanks.

"we're out in the swamps and stuff, and I just get eaten alive."

Hey Zac, judging by some of the posts on this site, I'd say that the swamps of Louisiana aren't the only place that could happen.
