Wow, this would be awfully early as only the first draft of Mockingjay Part 1 has been completed, but alas nothing can stop the rumor mill from turning! The NY Post is claiming UFC star Ronda Rousey has been offered a role in Mockingjay P.1:

The UFC women’s bantamweight champion has been offered a role in a future sequel to “The Hunger Games,” with newly minted Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, according to Dave Meltzer of “The Wrestling Observer” on his radio show

That could be about to reach the next level with her potential involvement in a “Hunger Games” sequel. Lawrence has already filmed “Catching Fire,” the second part of the film series. Presumably, Rousey would be in the third movie.

A source with knowledge of the situation told The Post that “there is a lot of interest in Ronda for movies, but she just won the biggest fight of her career and she’s been focused on that.”

A rep for Rousey had no comment on the “Hunger Games” report.

What do you guys think, true or not? And if so what role could she be?! Hmmmmmmm. Read the full article here!

Here’s an interesting story we came across. Model Brooklyn Decker admits she is a big fan of the Hunger Games trilogy, and says she auditioned for Catching Fire. 

According to Yahoo! Omg! :

Decker, who burned up television screens earlier this year with her cameo on “New Girl,” and also starred in the summer box office flop, “Battleship,” is already on the hunt for her next role.

“I auditioned for ‘Hunger Games,’” she revealed. “Not for the Katniss, but for a character in the second book that I loved.”

Not surprisingly, she’s a serious fan of the hit franchise.

“I read the books in three days, and cried. I worshipped the books. I was like, ‘I wanna be in the movie, I wanna do it.’”

Though we’re still trying to figure out which role she was up for – Cashmere, maybe? – sadly, she didn’t get the part.

“I was bummed, but it is not going to stop me from seeing it on opening night,” she smiled.

Despite missing out on a shot to appear in the blockbuster, she says it’s all part of showbiz.

“It happens all the time,” she shrugged. “I am learning that in this business, you can have a job, but things can fall through. It is a constantly evolving business.”

Earlier this year, Hunger Games fans waited very impatiently to see who would be cast for the sequel Catching Fire. Rumors ran rampant, but we did eventually get confirmation of our cast, and we had some great ones. Which casting choice was your favorite or your most shocking?? Check out the options below in the gallery and then tell us in the poll. (Obviously, these aren’t all of the roles cast, but we narrowed it down).

What was your favorite The Hunger Games-related event or moment of 2012? Movies.com created their own list and they covered the good stuff! Here are just a couple of their favorites to whet your appetite:

4. Danny Strong to Pen Mockingjay – Part 1 and Part 2: The Hunger Games had a writing dream team – Billy Ray, a talented screenwriter, Suzanne Collins, the author responsible for penning the source material, and Gary Ross, a seasoned writer himself and the man who would ultimately bring the text to life. Now look at the writing situation for Catching Fire – we get to start with Simon Beaufoy, an Academy Award-winning writer, which is great, but then there’s news that Michael Arndt is stepping in for some rewrites. He’s got an Oscar statue of his own, too, but rewrites can hint at problems no matter who’s doing them. And then there’s the fact that, so far, Collins isn’t listed as an official screenwriter even though Beaufoy has said she’s been there to help him. Yes, it could turn out to be great all over again, but there’s something reassuring about having Danny Strong and only Danny Strong listed as the screenwriter for the final two films. The guy is an Emmy winner with a knack for handling politically driven material. I’d love to see Collins take another screenplay credit on theMockingjay movies, but, either way, the script should also be safe in Strong’s hands.

Our friends at Hunger Games Trilogy recently posted a tweet they came across from  @ImDannyWilliams who tweeted that his friend Issac King will be playing Peeta’s brother in Catching Fire.

While this is just a rumor and we have no confirmation of this information, I have to admit that Issac King does resemble our Peeta, Josh Hutcherson.    We’ll keep you posted as we learn more information.

Happy Happy Day, I went on the Catching Fire Casting Page and to my surprise discovered that all the tributes have now been cast. So without further ado, meet the rest of your Catching Fire tributes!!
