I know I wasn't going to post today, but I just quickly want to announce, since I love both the Hunger Games and Woody Harrelson: Woody has been cast as Haymitch, my favorite tragic alcoholic from the books.
You can read about it, here. That is all.
Oh, also: thanks to Angela Ackerman and The Facebook for informing me of this EPIC WIN.

THATS AWESOME!!!!! What a perfect match!
I never thought of him as Haymitch, but it definitely could work!
Haymitch is just about my fav character in the whole series.
What a good piece of casting!
Eeeep! Cool! ^_^
That's brilliant! He'll be awesome as Haymitch!
I like the idea. Okay, I like him a lot better than the choices for Peta and Gale.
I never thought of Woody as Haymitch, but I LOVE the idea. In fact, I think it's the best casting choice thus far. :)
Perfect choice!
I never pictured someone like him when I read the books, but I think he's done some really strong acting (and some pretty silly stuff too). Should be awesome. I just have no idea what this movie is gonna be like--how they'll have the Arena and everything. I can't wait. I haven't been to a movie in the theater since Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (or whatever it was called...stupid alien ending), but I think I'll have to find a babysitter and go to this one :)
He is a perfect pick! I'm really getting excited about this movie. It seems the director has good insight when it comes to picking actors.
Love the gap between his front teeth. But somehow my mental image of Haymitch is someone a little more hirsute than Mr. Harrelson. Perhasps he'll be bewigged?
Yay for Woody!!! I like him - he's crazy in a fun way! Take care

Oh yeah. He's perfect. Yay!
He's perfect! Great pick. :)
the thing about these castings... is that they keep picking people i wouldn't have guessed for the parts. then i think, think, think about it and- you know what?- every single actor/actress (that i'm familiar with) in an incredible talent! i ADORE the fact that talent is trumping fashionability or looks for these castings! whoo hoo!
myfavorite woody performance= zombieland.
I'm sure he's already doing research to make the alcoholic thing authentic.
I'm thinking he's going to save this movie. I haven't liked the cast pics so far otherwise...
Woody as Haymitch? Sweet!
Now they just need to cast Tim Gunn as Cinna :-P (I don't care if he's too old.)
Good ol' Woody.
Think this character will crave Twinkies as well?
Interesting...keeping an open mind on this one...you have the best info on this blog!
Ooh! He'll make an awesome Haymitch. Can't wait!
At first I wasn't sure I liked Woody for Haymitch, but the more I think about it, the more I realize it really is a perfect fit. So excited for this movie!
And dude, I'm following your blog now too!
Oh saweet! I hadn't seen this yet. Thanks for posting :)
I KNOW!! I saw that and RT'd it. I wouldn't have pictured him, but I'm really excited about it. I think he'll be great.
I can't wait to see this movie. Can. Not. Wait.
This is very cool. Very awesome. And now that I've seen Zombieland, I'm thinking he'll make a better Haymitch than RDJr... :D
next!
SHVEET!
