Robert Pattinson Being Considered As Finnick Odair in ‘Catching Fire’


Francis Lawrence has some explaining to do. I was already upset about a new director for Catching Fire, the next book in the Hunger Games Series, but now rumor has it that he will be casting Robert Pattinson as the fan favorite character, Finnick Odair. Lawrence and Pattinson worked together on the lukewarm critically acclaimed box office bomb, Water For Elephants.

No no no to this. Pattinson is NOT Finnick. Finnick is very much a pretty boy character and that in no way describes Pattinson. Plus I just don’t want my Hunger Games franchise to be tainted with anything Twilight.

It makes sense though that Pattinson would want to jump on another franchise because his other credits that aren’t Twilight have pretty much been DOA. Water For Elephants was not actually not a bad movie but it wasn’t that good either and Remember Me was quite terrible.

Of course I’ll still be watching the movie if he is cast, but I don’t have to like it. Hopefully they’ll go with the better choices that others have come up with.

One thought on “Robert Pattinson Being Considered As Finnick Odair in ‘Catching Fire’”

  1. Whaaaa? He just doesn’t seem very energetic to me…this is also hard to judge because I’ve only seen him in Twilight and Harry Potter, roles in which, let’s face it, he didn’t have a lot of opportunity to actually act. Herm. I still need to see the first Hunger Games though.
