    I saw her in suckerpunch. Acting a lil bit stiff and stoic. Hopefully if she happens to get the role, she manage to gain some expression skills so it won’t jeapordize the role in ayways

      Why not? -_____- because she isnt Mila Kunis or Naya Rivera? There might be better people for the role. none of us get a say anyways… so shhhh!

      • Johanna says:

        I agree! Just because she isn’t a fan favorite (like they’re going to pick a fan favorite, anyway) doesn’t mean she can’t do it. And you know, she actually looks more Johanna-y than most of the fan favorites. I can totally see her being Johanna.

      • THG says:

        I agree. I don’t think Johanna should be a star that everyone else knows.

    She doesn’t really have the “star power” i was hoping for but I can see it. Not bad….

    God I hope not! She was on all weekend as the younger stupid sister in Pride and Prejudice (Kiera Knightly version) and has been all over the TV with her HORRIBLE, I repeat HORRIBLE southern, Appalachia accent in the Hatfields and McCoys.
    I would find it laughable to see this girl as anything but a flighty little dolt.
    This movie is fast becoming more disappointing than the first if a.) they aren’t filming district 12 in the same location in North Carolina and b.) they choose to pick no name stars because they have to start filming next month to fast track it to make money.
    I would rather boycott the movie for a more quality movie to be made (IE Harry Potter) than to have a quick film that is nothing more than a flash in the pan piece of trash.

    I can see it. looks wise. I’ve never seen her act so.. I don’t know

    JUST KEEP IN MIND, BASICALLY ALMOST EVERYONE HERE HATED JEN, JOSH AND LIAM! DO YOU HATE THEM NOW?!

    SHE COULD BE AMAZING! AND IT IS JUST A RUMOR SO WHATEVES!

    :)

    I think she could be a good johana mason i mean she looks the part if she dyed her hair

  8. Chelsie says:

    And Donnie Darko!!! Can’t forget that :) She could maybe do t, not my choice but I just love her in Darko

  9. Rosie says:

    no. just no.

  10. gg says:

    At only 4 years older than Jena and arguably a lot more talented why wouldn’t they go with someone who has campaigned for the role like Kristen Bell?
    Kristen Bell yes is only FOUR years older than this actress.
    I would think they the director would want someone who would look older than Jennifer and who has the capability of looking like she could take down Jennifer with skill. I just don’t get that with Jena. I am sorry. She looks very young for 28 and though that is only a little older than what most assume Johanna’s actual age is, I would say you would need someone who looks like she is out of her teens to play her well.

    • Ady says:

      I totally agree with you. Kristen Bell is a great actress and could definitely pull of the role as Johanna

  11. Ady says:

    nahhh… Kristen Bell would be the best I think for Johanna’s role. She is very skilled at coming across as a tough, brash kind of person.
