The casting news continues to arrive fast and often for "The Hunger Games" film adaptation, with the latest additions involving District 1 tributes Marvel and Glimmer.
Newcomer Jack Quaid (son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan) will be Marvel while Leven Rambin ("All My Children," "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") will be Glimmer. Both characters face off against heroine Catniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence, "Winter's Bone") and her District 12 counterpart Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson, "Bridge to Terabithia") in the Hunger Games, an annual battle to the death involving two children from each of the 12 districts of Panem.
Marvel and Glimmer are considered "career" tributes, as they train and prepare for years to enter the games, while most of the others are chosen by lottery.
"The Hunger Games" is the first book in the trilogy of the same name by author Suzanne Collins. Other confirmed cast members for the film include Liam Hemsworth ("The Last Song") as Catniss' hunting partner Gale Hawthorne along with newcomers Amandla Stenberg and Dayo Okeniyi as District 11 tributes Rue and Thresh.
Additionally, Elizabeth Banks is in talks to play Effie Trinke, Catniss and Peeta's handler.
