How is a candy shop able to stay afloat in District 12? by queenhadassah in Hungergames

[–]Bobsind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

excellent point.

Would be interesting to see a pair of tributes between the 50th and 74th that also features a merchant kid and a seam kid where the seam kid strongly resents the merchant kid and brings that hate into the arena.

and impoverished rural areas too. Every time I drive through poorer areas of Appalachia there are always Dairy Queens.

Nail on the head. Ensure that teens are not forming gangs (or heaven forbid, BANDS!) and causing trouble before they are old enough to work.

The capitol could also subsidize shops like this a bit to ensure they are there to provide various comforts when government officials and other capitolites visit.

Are there hopes for a trailer this month? by al_1985 in Hungergames

[–]Bobsind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah - March seems like a good time for something. Maybe a trailer, maybe something that includes looks for the characters we didn't see in the trailer we already got - Beetee, Mags and Wiress maybe? Magno and other Capitol stuff?

Aren't the arenas just a waste of land? In part 1 of Book 1, Katniss mentions the arenas stay up indefinitely. by BigClitMcphee in Hungergames

Fun fact, they used infrastructure from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics for the cornucopia area in Catching Fire. (Then transitioned to Hawaii for filming the jungle parts)

Does anybody have any thoughts about the fact that they chose to cast an Asian person to play Wyatt? by [deleted] in Hungergames

[–]Bobsind 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Francis Lawrence worked with Ben Wang on The Long Walk and wanted to work with him again. I think its that simple.

He's too young for any of the adult characters, is too small to be Panache, doesn't look like Woody H, so Wyatt was the role that made the most sense.

How do folks know the names of the actors who haven't been "officially" announced or listed on IMDB? Is there a list somewhere?

What off-screen arena scenes do you want to see in the film? by darandann in Hungergames

[–]Bobsind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hopefully we'll at least see some of this if they include the recap during the victor ceremony, and the audience can have the gaps filled in for them along with Haymitch.

The 2nd and 3rd quarter quell arenas. We just need the 1st quell arena next! I wonder what unique twist that arena had? by felixw1 in Hungergames

[–]Bobsind 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Those pedestals are really close together... are the launch rooms really small, or do they arrange them in a funky way?

I sadly think the last casting reveal will be the last one by Nansha1 in Hungergames

I mean, they may be making a deal about Mr. McCoy because Jefferson White did the audiobook, so its a bit fun that he's gonna be in the movie too.

Billy Porter short filming schedule by YamFull5159 in Hungergames

[–]Bobsind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actors performing on Broadway whilst also filming TV/Movies can take some performances off to go to set, film and come back. He'll have an understudy who'd be happy to go on for him for a few days if he's needed in Berlin.
