Josh Hutcherson on ‘The Hunger Games’ Audition Process

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins has become a sensation with readers and very quickly was poised for adaptation into film. The only problem of course with both fans and filmmakers is that the actors have to be right for the part. Casting is already a difficult process but it must be even harden when you’re dealing with finding the person that can live up to fan expectations.

Just watching Winter’s Bone (2010) showed just how powerful Jennifer Lawrence is as an actress. She’s definitely the right choice to play Katniss Everdeen; however, casting the two young actors that will form a love triangle with Katniss must have been an even greater challenge.

Josh Hutcherson will play the part of Peeta Mellark, the boy chosen along with Katniss to compete in a tournament – to the death (hence the film’s title).  Read more

Trailer: ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island’ starring Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson, Luis Guzman, Vanessa Hudgens

I know this is just the trailer but the CGI stinks. Check out when Dwayne Johnson picks up the mini-elephant, the cast rides bee’s and… you know, just watch it. It’s BAD.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island: Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson, reprising his role from the first film) receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist. It’s a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather, Hank (Dwayne Johnson), joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever. courtesy of trailers.apple.com

Teaser Trailer: ‘The Hunger Games’ starring Jennifer Lawrence

The Hunger Games: Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Josh Hutcherson’s Spider-Man Audition

This is what happens when you really want a part.

Apparently, Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are All Right, Journey To The Center Of The Earth) spent his own money to create this audition video for the re-boot of Spider-Man. He got a fight choreographer and did his own stunts even. This got the attention of Sony and the director, Marc Webb… which put him the running for the part.

Cool, huh?
