Hunter Parrish may be close to landing the lead role in Hunger Games Movie
“I’ve met the producers,” Parrish told us last night at Alternative Apparel’s Fall 2011 showcase in West Hollywood. “I’d be grateful to get the opportunity. Like, really grateful. It would be amazing.” (FYI: Beastly star Alex Pettyfer told Access Hollywood last month that he’s also spoken with Hunger producers)
While Parrish says he hasn’t seen a script for the film based on Suzanne Collins‘ bestselling novel trilogy, he has gotten lots of support from fans of the franchise on Twitter wanting him to nab the part.
“You don’t get much better than that,” he said. “The true fans of the book. So regardless of whether I’m a part of the film or not, I feel honored to just sort of be thought of. I read the books all last year, and I guess they’re starting filming soon.”
As for who he wants for the role of Hunger Games heroine Katniss? Someone close to his age.
“If it’s Jennifer [Lawrence], man, sign me up!” the 23-year-old actor said of the Winter’s Bone starlet, 20. “I think if it ended up being Hailee Steinfeld or Saoirse [Ronan] or who’s the other one? Abigail Breslin. Then it would be weird. It would be really weird.”

Oh please, please, please Lionsgate! With a cherry on top?
Jennifer Lawrence is close to getting an offer to star as Katniss in Lionsgate’s “Hunger Games”
Exclusive: Jennifer Lawrence is close to getting an offer to star as Katniss in Lionsgate’s “Hunger Games,” Lionsgate’s bet on the next “Twilight”-sized young-adult franchise…
Age was a significant factor in the decision, as insiders have told Variety that Ross and Lionsgate execs were weighing whether to play the role younger or older. That would not only help determine the tone, but also play a part in casting other roles, specifically the role of Peeta, Katniss’ love interest.
Steinfeld and Breslin are both 14 and Lawrence is 20. Though there are plenty of up-and-coming teenage actors, Lionsgate can more easily find a recognizable face in his 20s for the male lead.
The deal may have come together sooner, but Lawrence has not officially signed on to any other projects since her best actress nomination. Thesp has been weighing over offers, including Oliver Stone’s “Savages,” and may had scheduling issues to work out.
