Astrid Bergès-Frisbey for the win! She would be an amazing Annie, I just look at her and I immediately see Annie :3
i agree absolutely
Same
zooey or astrid would be perfect!
yeah i mean Astrid is the perfect actress for it remember Annie Cresta is half mad and has to be quite innocent looking so you dont want a person who looks too hot or strong so i think Astrid definatley!
i’m a huge fan of zooey but i dont think she can pull off a nice sweet annie. zooey’s more of a comedy character & i cant picture her being shy, sweet and quiet or enclosed but oly opens up to finnick.
i think Charlotte Best would ake a good annie but she isnt on t
here
Agreed, I don’t even know who she is, but when I saw the picture, she’s absolutley perfect!
IKR!!!!!! Astrid HAS to be Annie!!!!!!! FTW!!!! I always picture Annies with red hair now. LOL
please, no. annie is, i dunno, kinda different maybe like camilla belle. and i think amanda seyfried is cool too but annie’s supposed to have dark hair.
…she could dye it, like jennifer lawrence and josh hutcherson i think she would be AMA-ZINGGGG! if they don’t cast her I’ll flip ALL the tables.
just remeber, Annie is also crazy…
I want astrid or amanda to be annie! I want amanda cause of her green eyes are exactly like I imagine annie’s! And I want astrid because she will be perfect as an inocent yet crazy girl! And I heard sam claflin’s gonna play finnick so…. Hope it’s gonna be between the two of them
Based on what I recall of Annie – long brown hair and large sea green eyes – Elizabeth Olsen hands down. But she is such a minor role, that I think they can work with just about anyone.
Agreed
i definitely agree. elizabeth olsen would be a great annie
But then there’s mockingjay to worry about. They can’t use just anyone in that movie.
I voted for her. She just looks like she suits the role. And they cant just work with anyone for this movie becuz the next movie they will use her alot
That is soooooo who I voted for. Her eyes sealed the deal ;P
I honestly don’t think that they’ll cast Annie for this movie. After all, in Catching Fire all you do is hear her voice. I doubt that they’ll want to pay big bucks for someone to dub a few lines in studio. My guess is they’ll hire a voice actress to do that and not worry about casting the role until Mockingjay.
NO! They have to cast her ! She is at the reaping too. That part is actually very important because then you also see Mags volunteering for her.
I actually think the other Reapings are something that’s going to be cut. I can see them just having a line in about Mags volunteering to be the tribute. Kinda like Katniss is the one who found the Mockingjay pin to give to Prim. Mags volunteering is not something we actually need to see. We just need to be told it happened. Time wise this is a cut that totally makes sense. After all would you rather see 2-3 minutes of ye olde reaping or 2-3 minutes extra of them developing one of the primary relationships? I’m betting they cut this in favor of more Katniss/Peeta or Katniss/Gale.
but I think in Catching Fire they need to put scenes about Annie like thoughts or dreams of Finnick, well it will be more romantic because only the voice? it wouldn’t be atractive and Catching fire is not just about Katniss and Peeta, it tells the history of all tributes. If they cut that scenes, the Quarter Quell isn’t emocional:(
But all we know in the book is what Finnick tells us and then Peeta fills in about Annie being the person who was reaped from 4 for the Quarter Quell and that Mags steps in for her. Annie is shown very briefly during the district 4 reaping, but that is it. If the actor hired to play Finnick is any good at all he should be able to convay how much Annie means to him in the mockingjay section of the arena and in the final scene where he’s asking Plutarch to go get her.
After all, that’s how we learn about Annie and Finnick in the Catching Fire book. Frankly there is so much information in the book that I want to see, some of which is likely to be cut for time, that adding extra Annie and Finnick moments makes no sense to me.
While I like Annie’s character I really don’t expect to see her until Mockingjay. When her character first really appears in the books.
I agree.
annie is not relevant.
That would be such a huge mistake. The reaping is incredibly interesting, and I think they should have it more prominent in the movie, where they won’t be limited by Katniss’ narration. It would also give us the first glimpse of all the previous winners, with memorable and poignant moments like Cecilia’s three children running up to her, and particularly the moment when Mags volunteers for Annie. It’s such a poignant moment and would work wonderfully in a movie – when you see an unstable young woman, and then you see someone volunteering and it’s an 80-year old who walks with a stick! Who obviously knows she’s going to die there, and just wants to save the girl.
I think they should cut some of the wedding preparations and shorten the first part of the book, and focus on the reaping, the personalities of the previous winners (who are all such a sad picture of what Hunger Games do to people!) and the games themselves, intercut with the rising rebellion in the districts.
In a way, I agree that Annie won’t have such a big role in Catching Fire, but she’ll have to appear somewhere. She’s pretty important in Mockingjay and I’ll think it’ll just be random if they pop in Finnick’s lover in the last movie
True, but… i think they should concentrate, at least, a little on Finnick’s true love. I mean, there should be more of her, like maybe dreams. I think they should concentrate on the main tributes’ life other than the games too. Maybe like Johanna. They should tell us that she’s got no one she loves. Same goes for Finnick. They should concentrate on his life and, well, Annie is the most important persone to him… cute…
I think that Zooey Deschanel would be a great Annie.
Maybe she is a bit too old (it all depends on who they cast as Finnick) but still almost all of the other actors are older than the characters they play, and with the right makeup they can fix any thing!
I have to go with Zoey Dechanel she is great as Jess on New Girl and In 500 days of summer i think she can easily play Annie she has her spirit and kidda is like Annie in all the roles she plays…though i do love nina dobrev but i just dont see her as this charecter.
My choices are:
Zooey Deschanel
Elizabeth Olsen
Astrid Bergès-Frisbey
Emmy Rossum
Alexis Bledel
My top two are probably Elizabeth Olsen and Emmy Rossum! They are the closest to how I pictured Annie
i think that Elizabeth Olsen and Alexis Bledel both would be great choices
I looove those two too!!! Mstly elizabeth and then emmy
Alexis blendel would be perfect!
thats what i think!!!
we hope they choose someone new cause we would both love to play to play annie!!!!!!
Zoe Deschanel
all the way
yeah. i want zooey
YES SHE HAS TO!!!! Zooey Deschanel ALL THE WAY!!!!
Zooey *might* work but I kinda think Leighton Meester would work cuz even tho she isn’t as known it could make her famous and I think she would make a perfect sweet-mad Annie!
I say Emmy Rossum,
she is what I highly imagined Annie would look like.
Long flowy brown hair,
I can’t till if she has brown or hazelle eyes but that’s why there is contacts. :]
I couldnt agree more.. The way she acts in shameless is perfect for Annie cresta. Plus she would look good in the movie
Wow, definitely Elizabeth Olsen! I picture Annie as a sweet young girl, Zooey is older than what I think the character is (besides, if Armie Hammer gets cast as Finnick, Olsen and him make a nice couple).
That’s it. Francis Lawrence, please cast Miss Olsen.
I love Mandy Moore to play Annie! She’s a great actress and if they only require her voice for Catching Fire, she can do great!
OH MY GOD MANDY MOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I’ve now realized that if Zoe Deschanel doesn’t get the part, I would also live Alexis Bledel. So hard to choose though. If it came down to the two of them I would most likely be stuck.
I meant like not live. Sorry
i think alexis bledel or zooey deschanel
At first I was thinking of Astrid Bergès-Frisbey or Emmy Rossum but out of everyone, I think Elizabeth Olsen. Her brown hair and green eyes,yes, but her face. It’s really innocent and fragile kinda like annie’s. I also imagined her small and petite. I think Elizabeth can act out Annie well.
Idk, she just has that Annie feel about her.
Elizabeth Olsen if you ask me!
Don’t you agree?
Don’t forget about Little Haymitch and Maisly! (or however you spell it)
I don’t know really, but I think Emma Roberts would be a nice Annie. Zooey is actually my first choice, but I would really like to know what age the casted Finnick will be.
I know this sounds a bit weird, but I think all these people are too pretty to play Annie. I see her as a nice-looking but somewhat ordinary girl, nothing special. I think this makes her and Finnick’s relationship more interesting because it proves that Finnick is not the vain airhead he appears to be – he’s got truckloads of gorgeous capitol people throwing themselves at his feet, but he ends up choosing the normal girl back home. Annie’s not supposed to be the hot one, Finnick is… and it would be nice for a ridiculously beautiful character to be chasing after an ordinary one for a change. (it’s usually the other way round)
you definitely have a point!
I completely agree!
The list above looks like they’ve just typed ‘twenty-something brunettes’ into google and been like oh look, lots of Annies! Yay!
what about Emma Stone
http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t471/artimesesgirl/images-2.jpg
she has brown hair and sea green eyes like in the dscription
Astrid! Seeing her in the water and vulnerable in POTC: OST makes her the perfect Annie.
Alexis Bledel should play Annie!
well seeing she’s not in the story till book # 3 idk and I’m hoping for Zac efron s finnick so my vote is Alexis
Zooey Deschanel is a terrible choice! She’s a one-dimensional actress who only knows how to play the cute, manic pixie girl that is clumsy yet adorable. That doesn’t sound like Annie at all.
Anyway, there’s a big chance Annie won’t even appear in Catching Fire. They’ll probably cast her for Mockingjay but it’ll be a no-name actress since I don’t think she’s going to be in a lot of scenes.
Eliza Dushku would look great as Annie…
No I see her playing Johanna mason.. She’s pretty feisty
I think Emmy would fit the role cos she looks quite young and still has that sensitive side that Annie kind of has
Yes!!
Ahh how cute would it be in Nina Dobrev played Annie and Ian Somerhalder played Finnick? Between their Vampire Diaries romance and their real life romance they would have crazy chemistry! Of course this prob won’t happen but I can dream!!
ewww
Omg are you guys mad Isabelle Lucas is perfect she is exactly how i imagined her and Alex Pettyfer would be great for Finnick but he turned it down :’(
Waaah… I don’t know, I just dont think I want any of these people. ANd for thos epeople saying it doesnt matter… Uh, yeah it does! Annie is an extremely important character because without Annie you wouldnt see the other side of Finnick from the smart-ass, sexy one. Dah.
I JUST CAN’T CHOOSE!!!!
alot look good but i really can’t pick just ONE!!!!!
I think Hannah Marshall should play Annie.
Zooey!!!!! Zooey!! Zooey, Zooey, Zooey!!! Either her, or Emmy Rosem, just based on this list. I’d also thrown in another name, Kate Voegele. She’s a singer/somgwriter, but she’s done a little acting, she’s super talented. She has the sweet, somewhat quiet personality that Annie has.
I think Emmy Rossum is perfect for Annie. She has that sweety, dainty look and I do think she can pull of the role of a person who isn’t quite right in the head, as Annie.
The way Emmy looks just reminds me of Annie.. Especially in shameless
Olivia Lauren who graduated from the Strasberg institute this spring would be perfect for the role of Annie. She is an unknown actress.
I always thought that Eliza Dushku would be an amazing Annie! (she’s an actress in the tv show Dollhouse…)
She doesn’t have a huge name in the industry but she’s an awesome actress!
I think Keira Knightley would make the perfect annie cresta
I like Emmy Rossum as Annie. She is all innocent and stuff, yet I think she could act insane if she really wanted to.
Have you seen her in shameless? She’s perfect for the role!!
i think elizabeth olsen should play annie!!
I think Amanda Seyfried even though she doesn’t have brown hair but she can always wear a wig or something. Plus, she is always good in her movies.
Rachel Bilson for Annie!!!!!
Or Summer Glau!
They’d both be perfect for Annie.
Annie should look somewhat weak and sweet girl….. So, I think Alexis Bledel and Emmy Rossum. Who could not agree?
I like Zooey, but she looks a bit old and I just don’t see Annie in her.
i think Annie should be played by either by Alexis Bledel or Elizabeth Olsen
And what about Dianna Agron?
I think she has the right innocent and cute look, that I always imagined on Annie.
In my opinion, Annie shouldn’t be Zooey. Sure she looks the part, but she’s to old! Annie’s supposed to be in her early 20s and Zooey’s 32!
I think Astrid Frisbey or Elizabeth Olsen. When I read the book I pictured those two.
ASTRID!! SHE HAS RED-BROWN HAIR! And just looks like Annie.
Rooney Mara should play Annie, hands down. It’s like Collins wrote Annie with her in mind.
Amanda Seyfried should play Annie
Kat Dennings! In my mind she would be perfect! She was what i pictured!!
Zooey is far too old to play Annie. Annie is supposed to be in her early twenties and Zooey is in her early thirties. Personally none of these actresses really seem to fit Annie’s character. I think that Bella Heathcote or Felicity Jones would be great choices for Annie.
Nina Dobrev is the picture of Annie to me!!!! I love her as Annie. ANd, she can play that shy girl role but still seem deadly.
nina dobrev sucks at acting all she can do is boss people around
I think Alexandria Daddario would be good she got the look but i dont koe if shes crazy or not. Either Alexis Bledel or Emilia Clarke. Zooey is to old have you seen her with no makeup and shes only in her 30s!!The Hunger Games cast is suppose to have little to no makeup because they’re suppose to be almost poor-like people
No she’s already doing Percy jackson
Bonnie Wright has that innocent look about her XD
I think Evanna Lynch should play Annie, since I was at home reading the books I thought it. Yes, vote for Evanna Lynch (Harry Potter) to play Annie Cresta. You will not be disappointed, I promise!
AGREED!!
I voted Zooey Deschanel, because she’s pretty and I imagined Annie would be pretty.
There are some imdb cast lists with a bunch of great suggestions. Here are just a few of the ones I’ve found.
http://www.imdb.com/list/FpJDA9Bs4xQ/
http://www.imdb.com/list/DXhoaV0OUSo/
http://www.imdb.com/list/8MbR5chejHY/
http://www.imdb.com/list/jX0NKJgzzLI/
http://www.imdb.com/list/nmBcS4R6Ss4/
Annie needs:
Innocent face
she needs to be able to look like she’s lost inside her own head
I imagine annie with a really natural red and dirty blonde hair colour
I imagine her with a soft complexion perhaps light freckles around her nose
But the really important thing is, she needs to be crazy but innocent at the same time.
She’s described in the book as having flowing dark hair.
I think that leighton meester would be perfect as annie
I AM THE RIGHTFUL ANNIE.
I WOULD BE A GREAT ANNIE, WOULDN’T I
WHERE’S KAYA’S NAME
CAN WE NOMINATE KAYA SCODELARIO?
i think Emma Stone would be a good Annie
Annie is describes to have brown hair and sea green eyes:
http://i1061.photobucket.com/albums/t471/artimesesgirl/images-2.jpg
yes omg that is exactly what i was thinking!!!
I think Alexis Bledel would be the perfect Annie! She’s a great actress and could definitely capture Annie’s sweet and innocent nature. The only bad thing going for her is her age, but she totally looks like, 10 years younger than she actually is lol. On the other hand, Zooey is starting to really look her age as pretty as she is. Astrid looks like Annie, though I haven’t seen her in anything so I can’t judge her acting skills. She seems relatively unknown though, so that’s good.
But yeah Alexis Bledel FTW
Elizabeth Olsen in my opinion. She has that cute, but kind of scared look to her. She could fit Annie quite well as I imagined her to have those characteristics as well.
AGREED
Summer glau, she fits perfectly as annie, i mean think about it, her acting in serenity was flawless, she portrais a broken character, she acts with alot of raw emotions, she’s a perfect annie.
just watch this and you will understand:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzLE1rK7J48
&
ANNE HATHAWAY. THAT’S IT. NOTHING ELSE TO IT. BOOM.
shes too old
IM BETTING ON ASTRID OR EMMY ROSSUM.
Yep, exactly who I want to play Annie, I will he extremely happy with either!
x
i agree with Me they should show all the other tributes to because they all are important in some way!and it’s not just about katniss and peeta and them in the games and her romance with him and gale it is sooo much bigger than that!i think they should at least show finnick,wires,beete,and mags at the reaping along with peeta and katniss maybe not ALL the other tributes but the ones that have an important role in the movies at least!and they also have to include madge in the story at some point im actually really mad that they said prim gave her the pin! because without madge (SPOILER ALERT!)HOW DID KATNISS END UP IN THE MAYORS HOUSE AND SEE THE UPRISING IN DISTRICT 8 IN CATCHING FIRE?!
Madge is a really minor character and the story is perfectly fine with her being completely left out. She doesn’t really do anything of note in the books except give Katniss the mockingjay pin – and Katniss getting the pin from Prim is much better and makes it a stronger symbol. And there are plenty of ways Katniss can learn about the uprising, and plenty of ways they can show the uprising – especially since they aren’t constrained by the first person point of view.
I’m more upset that Lavinia the Avox girl was left out (but at least Darius has to be in the movie!). And I hope they give attention to most of the tributes, even the minor ones like Cecilia (the woman with 3 little children) or the two morphlings show the cruelty of the games. The morphlings, Haymitch’s alcoholism, Annie’s madness, possibly Wiress’ problems as well, are all examples of how the Arena damages people.
Yeah, Madge might not do anything big in the books but I think it was a huge mistake in not making her a character in the movie.. I mean Katniss even says herself that Madge and Gale were her only friends in the first book.. And in the second she goes over to Madge’s house and sees the uprising in D8! I guess they could add her in the second movie and say her and Katniss became friends after they won the games.. But still there is sooo much history with Madge! Her mockingjay pin was her aunts who was also Katniss’ mother’s bestfriend! Kindof a mistake by leaving her out I think..
i totally get what ConnerT said!Elizabeth Olsen has my vote because she does have that really cute inocent look to her that could also work the crazy angle that Annie has but she also has that scared look to her.Her as Annie and Benjamin Stone as Finnick!!!!!Benjamin is tall but not to tall like Finnick and hes muscular but not too muscular he is the perfect Finnick!!!
im reading all these comments and no one said the perfect person for the role, summer glau! Think about it, she has been in firefly, terminator and even more great shows and movies. She is totally typed casted and catching fire will be another movie that she will make to an unforgettable book and movie series.
I think alexz johnson from instant star or skyler samuels from the nine lives of chloe king
Hmm.. I kinda think Taylor Swift has that innocent, broken look to her but she’d have too have dark hair..
absoulitly not
Or Mary Kate olsen
I think Zooey or Alexis. I see Zooey and think “Annie Cresta!” But I’ve seen pictures of Annie and they remind my of Alexis
I have to say maybe Emma STone or Anne Hathaway *could8 maybe be Annie – BUT LEIGHTON MEESTER could be perfect! She could easily pull off the sweet crazy gurl!
I totally agree about Leighton Meester…. i think she’s a very good actress and she could totally pull off being innocent with a touch of madness
And i think anne hathaway would be HORRIBLE for this role
YEAH! She’s not as well known but did u see her in Montie Carlo? She’s perfect not super famous like Zooey but not a new actress!
U should see her in the roommate
I think emmy rossum would make an amazing annie +shes beautiful
Definitly astrid or Emmy they would both be great and look perfect for Annie
Im all for Astrid i think she fits the image of Annie perfectly.
Skyler Samuels i know she has blonde hair but that can always be dyed. I love her.
I think Emerald Green would make a good Annie, since she played her in the Finnick and Annie web series.
emmy rossum is perfect for the role, she just has this complete naive (in a good way) and innocent expression on her face. Antonia Thomas, seriously??? need i say more??? xx
who nomited nina dobrev shes terrible sorrs 2 the vd fans but shes way to smug and strickt
i think that zooey astrid camille ellen amanda evan antina and gemma r bad choices 2 i would be fine with anyone one the list above
what bout Margarita Levieva from the invisble i also think leighton meester summer and emmy would do good to
and what bout kathrine mcfee
Whenever I see Elizabeth Olsen I immediately think of Annie. She looks defiantly like the part. She looks young, and in Catching Fire and Mockingjay, Annie is described as young.
whoever is young enough to pretend to marry the guy who plays finnick
i’m picking Sandara Park(2NE1) for Annie Cresta
I think Sasha Pieterse would be such a perfect Annie!
Crystal Reed would be interesting
To everyone who thinks zooey should have this part: SHE ISN’T THE CRAZY SHY PERSON. SHE’S HAPPY ANG TALKY, THE OPPOSITE OF ANNIE. WORSE CHOICE EVER, NOT THAT SHE’S A BAD ACTRESS.
I think Annie needs to be subtlly beautiful, and not omg look at her she’s stunning! I think people need to fall in love with her character over her looks, she also needs to look innocent x anyone agree!
Skyler samuels from the nine lives of chloe king I think would be perfect with
Knesia solo a close second from lost girl
I agree with Skyler Samuels, not so sure about Knesia Solo
Yeah I love skyler I wish they would add her up on the pole although I’m sure everyone would freak cause she’s blonde but hair dye does wonders I think knesia solo fits the body type she’s just so tiny she looks breakable is why I thought of her and I like her a lot on lost girl do you know who alexz Johnson is she was on instant stsr I think she’s another person that would be a good fit what do you think
I deffo agree with her, she looks almost like I imagined, if she acted really fragile with messy hair, she would be perfect!
Yeah alexz is great I really wish they would add some of our suggestions in the poll
You guys running the pole told us tell you who we think should be added but I don’t see anyone new up there
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0424481/ alexz Johnson
http://m.imdb.com/name/nm1321094/ skyler Samuels
http://m.imdb.com/name/nm0989959/ knesia solo
No no no, Emily Browning!
Oooh. I never thought about her. I think she would be great too!
J I think alexz Johnson and skyler samuels are good choices still
yo deberia ser annie, soy increiblemente fabuloso
Evangeline Lilly.
I voted for Zooey Deschannel.
)
But I like Emma Stone to be one of the cast
Kristen Bell has the acting chops to do the part justice!
I think Astrid will do. She’s beautiful and a great actress. She’s perfect!
I don’t know of Zooey because she’s a little too old, and she’s young and everything is fine with her but I think Astrid should go for it, because when I see her I think, “OMG! That’s like the same Annie I picture!”
Amanda Seyfried, all she need is brown hair and contest she has that innocent look on her and true beauty she is also a wonderful actor
I think AnnaSophia Robb I think she could pull off the terrified mad girl very well considering her prior movies she would fit perfect.
I’ve been hearing rumors that she’s been cast as Maranda (don’t know how to spell it) whats-her-face from iCarly (played Carly.) Can anyone confirm or unconfirm this?
x
I really want Astrid too because she was so innocent in POTC and she could really pull it off!
Astrid Bergès-Frisbey!!!!! All the way, she is amazing! If she doesn’t get the part I might cry for the rest of my life
If you type in bing images, “Annie Cresta Casting” it will come up with lots of pictures of her. She looks the part, she looks innocent and I KNOW that she could pull it off!
I really want astrid berges frisbey to play Annie because she has that innocent yet broken face plus shes really beautiful
People keep mentioning “innocent” and I think that is an important quality for Annie, but we also have to remember that she is a victor in the hunger games. She’s frightened and confused, but there should also be an undercurrent of unpredictability and potential fierceness.
Aside from that, just in my own head, I picture her as kind of wiry and angular in the face- too eaten up with her worries to have much of an appetite.
If Kate Mara were a little younger, she’d be perfect.
There is no need for fierceness to Annie because being fierce isn’t why she won her games. She won because she was the best swimmer after the dam broke and the arena flooded. She went insane after seeing one of the tributes get beheaded. She didn’t kill anyone.
Most of what you say is true, however, we can’t assume she didn’t kill anyone. We don’t know that.
We don’t know that she didn’t kill any other tributes, but its highly unlikely. she couldn’t even bring herself to vote yes to putting the people that destroyed her in the Games. i highly doubt she even took a swipe at them. she hid and swam
Come again?! You got things seriously mixed up. They were voting to have another Games to kill the innocent CHILDREN from Capitol out of REVENGE. That’s not “even”, that’s monstrous.
That’s far cry from killing people who are trying to kill you, in self-defense, so you can survive. Of course nobody in their right mind and with enough humanity left would sincerely vote for that (I hope you realize that Katniss and Haymitch only did that to fool Coin, and Katniss then took steps so nothing like that could happen, by killing Coin). Peeta was adamantly against it, and he DID kill people (Brutus in the Quarter Quell, finishing off the girl from D8 in the 74th Hunger Games, and he participated in killing Cato), and said from the start, in the rooftop scene, that he would kill if he had to. Annie believed Finnick would be against it if he were alive, and he has no problems killing people (like the guy from District 5, I believe, who swam first to the Cornucopia). And even Beetee was against it, though not for humane reasons but for practical ones. Beetee, who, as we know all too well, had no problem killing a bunch of potentially innocent people if it helped winning the war – he was the one who devised the “death trap” bombs with Gale.
i’m just saying its highly unlikely that she would kill anyone, you’ve read the books. and im sure that at some point someone says something about her not being able to win the games without finnick. annie is obviously fragile. no need to go all crazy about my comment, i said it in a polite way voicing my opinion. u reply like a pmsing thirteen year old. just saying
It’s highly likely that she would kill, like most Tributes when they have to. And nobody ever says anything about her not being able to win the Games without Finnick, which wouldn’t make sense since Finnick, obviously, wasn’t with her in the Games. Annie is fragile since she went insane, she wasn’t always insane. And she manages to go on as a single mother in the end, so she’s not that fragile.
“i said it in a polite way voicing my opinion. u reply like a pmsing thirteen year old.”
Just out of interest, are you trying to sound sexist, ageist, or just illiterate? Or are you mostly aiming for the irony with the “polite” comment?
I think Elizabeth Olsen, Antonia Thomas, and Emmy Rossum are all very good candidates. But if I had to choose one, it would be Elizabeth.
Astrid is only innocent in POTC4, on the other hand she is a good actor on her french movies. Team Astrid all the way!
Right off the bat, I say no to Emilia Clarke, Leighton Meester, Evan Rachel Wood, Nina Dobrev, Amanda Seyfried, Antonia Thomas and Camillia Belle. While they’re all fine actress and could look the part, there’s just a certain quality about Annie that I can’t see in any of them. Also, I think Zooey Deschanel and Alexis Bledel are a bit old for the part, though they still look quite young. Similarly, Gemma Arterton also has a rather mature face that, while lovely, doesn’t seem right for Annie. On the other hand, the suggestions of Elizabeth Olsen, Ellen Page, Isabel Lucas and Emmy Rossum struck me as pleasant surprises. I was a bit hesitant at first, but I think I could put my faith in any of them were they chosen. Astrid Berges-Frisbey is a tempting choice as well, especially now that Sam Claflin has officially been cast as Finnick, but I’m a bit worried that her French accent may get in the way, and the thing with Sam Claflin does strike me as a particularly cheesy bit of serendipity were she chosen. However, while Summer Glau does seem a bit obvious and predictable to the point of cliche, being a fan-favorite for any character who is mentally unstable, she gives me the clearest picture of Annie, and she’s my personal fancast and guilty pleasure.
I think Astrid would be perfect for the part. She’s got the looks; innocence, beauty, and could probably emit the character of a broken, crazy girl since her acting is quite good as well. In the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, she had short lines but depicted her facial expressions perfectly. Plus, Sam and Astrid already worked with each other in (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger’s Tide). And for the people who think she wouldn’t fit the part because of her accent, I find that it’s not overpowering. Her French accent is pretty suttle, and she knows how to and CAN speak the English language. So enough said.
WHY WOULD YOU PUT ZOOEY DESCHANEL AS ANNIE SHE’S NOT EVENN SUITED FOR THE PART NO OFFENSE ZOOEY I LOVE YOU BUT NO
ASTRID BERGES FRISBEY FOR ANNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont think astrid’s accent is a problem, because in the books at least, annie barely says any words. i think she is perfect
i totally imagined her as annie when i read the books haha
agree
Jessica Brown Findlay maybe
I think that Rachel Bilson would be perfect for Annie. She doesn’t have the sea-green eyes, but they could use contacts?
If not, Summer Glau or Nina Dobrev could pull of Annie perfectly!
I’m preety sure Elizabeth Olsen will play Annie Cresta at Mockingjay. Here are my pesonal reasons.
1. She has GREEN eyes just like Annie!
2. Watch her movie “Martha Marcy May Marlene” which is the closest you got for Annie Cresta. Check this, ” Haunted by painful memories and increasing paranoia, a damaged woman struggles to re-assimilate with her family after fleeing an abusive cult.” Sounds familiar hugh?
3. Silent House involves some ear covering.
I hope you agree with me!
While I know it wouldn’t happen, I really think that Narnia’s lovely leading lady Anna Popplewell (Who played Susan Pevensie) would be absolutely perfect as Annie.
Not only does she have the capability to display the fierceness on the battle field, as we saw in Narnia, but she can play the sweet, vulnerable side beautifully. She’s totally who I pictured as Annie when I read the book.
I think that Astrid is perfect for the role. Zooey is not a fighter. I can’t imagine her winning a hunger games.
