Hailee Steinfeld - Could possibly play Hunger Games's Katniss Everdeen (Miss L)

MTV News caught up with Steinfeld, who was wearing a Marchesa gown, on the carpet (she told us she felt, "so honored and so blessed to be here") and had to ask whether she was still in the running for the big-screen adaptation of "The Hunger Games," based on the popular young-adult novel.

Steinfeld has been one of the names in consideration for the coveted role of Katniss Everdeen. The young actress told us she has "a lot of projects that we're looking at at the moment," but she also confirmed that she has met with "Hunger Games" director Gary Ross.

"It's definitely something that we're taking one day at a time and making sure that everything is in place," Steinfeld said of her possible casting as the film's heroine.

Whether or not the "Hunger Games" role goes to Steinfeld, she's quickly becoming one of the hottest commodities in Hollywood.

Casting for the Hunger Games Movie has begun- Miss L



Gabriel Liotta to play Peeta Mellark


I've told you that our read aloud series, The Hunger Games will be made into a movie, and it looks like things are starting to move forward.  I was pleased to find out that the script was writing by the actual author of the series, Suzanne Collins. I'm hoping that this means the movie will follow the book pretty closely.  This week it was also verified that the casting has begun. According to IMDb (the Internet Movie Data Base) Brazilian native, Gabriel Liotta, has been cast to play the role of Peeta Mellark.  No other actors have been named in the cast, but it is rumored that my good friend, and Zombieland star Abigail Breslin, really wants to play the role of Katniss Everdeen.  I am a huge Breslin fan so I might be a little biased.  What do you think?

Who would you like to see star in The Hunger Games movie? (as Katniss, Prim, Peeta, Gale, Rue...)
