Honestly, I'm a huge Josh Hutcherson fan and I know he'll do a fantastic job no matter what role he portrays. I don't care what hair color he will have (does it honestly matter? It's just hair!) The movie would be pointless if it was EXACTLY like the book anyway.

I agree with the choice for josh as Peeta. His attitude is perfect and really, does it matter what color his hair is? I think it's a great choice. But I'm not to big on the actress for Katniss, but i guess we'll see...

I have to admit, the lightning theif was pretty messed up, but I think Josh'll do fine.
Tess: I'm just gonna say I could not agree more!

I think they'll do a good job. Josh is just a cutie! I kinda hope he'll dye his hair, but he might look weird. And Liam needs to dye his hair black too... I was hoping they'd pick unknown actors for the show but all three choices are fairly good actors and since Suzanne Collins (the author of the book) is writing the screen play it should turn out fine. Who knows though, movies are never as good as the books.

Ya. Are they going to dye it blond. Peeta's hair is blond, but I cant imagine josh with blond hair. i think he will look odd with blond hair.
