With Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jena Malone as the most recently cast members of THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE, it isn’t a surprise that yet another well-known name has been added to the ever growing list. Amanda Plummer – maybe best known for her roles in Terry Gilliam’s THE FISHER KING and Quentin Tarantino’s PULP FICTION – has signed onto the Francis Lawrence directed project.
Plummer is rumoured to play a character called Wiress, but due to her crazy behaviour and unpredictable ways, she is also nicknamed ‘Nuts’. Wiress is involved in the production and execution of the 75th Annual Hunger Games (also known as the Quarter Quell), where her contributions are deemed most important. What do you think of this casting news? Good fit?
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE is the second book in the triology, but will be the second out of four films. Adapted from the novel written by Suzanne Collins, the film is to be directed by Francis Lawrence (I AM LEGEND). Plummer co-stars with Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Donald Sutherland, Elizabeth Banks and Josh Hutcherson.
