Another big name was announced today for the upcoming movie The Hunger Games. Woody Harrelson, according to deadline.com,will be playing the role of Haymitch Abernathy, the mentor of the lead character Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawerence) whom Abernathy trains to fight in a televised battle to the death among teen teams.
Harrelson joins the previously announced cast along with Wes Bentley, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Liam Hemsworth, Paula Malcolmson, and Willow Shields.
In other news, the District cast is almost complete. District 2 has yet to be announced. The kid populated cast includes: Leven Rambin & Jack Quaid (#1), Ian Nelson & Kalia Prescott (#3), Ethan Jamieson & Tara Macken (#4), Chris Mark & Jackie Emerson (#5), Ashton Moio & Kara Petersen (#6), Sam Ly & Leigha Hancock (#7), Samuel Tan & Mackenzie Lintz (#8), Imanol Yepez-Frias & Annie Thurman (#9), Jeremy Marinas & Dakota Hood (#10), Amandla Stenberg & Dayo Okeniyi (#11), and Jennifer Lawrence & Josh Hutcherson (#12).
Plot Synops:
Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence), a xteen year old girl who lives in a post apocalyptic world. North America is no more, it has become a collapsed nation that has been displaced by Panem , a country which is divided into 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives are selected from each district via a lottery (one boy and one girl). The 24 winners then get to participate in The Hunger Games, which is an annual tournament run by a powerful government that operates in the central part of Panem, known as The Capital. The games are a brutal form of entertainment and they are broadcast throughout Panem. Each contestant must try to "eliminate" their competitors, or risk being "eliminated" themselves.
Look for the Gary Ross-directed adaptation in theaters on March 23, 2012

This is as close as we will get to an American remake of "Battle Royale".
