District 3's tributes announced for 'The Hunger Games'

District 3's tributes, as posted on the film's Facebook page.
The residents of Panem's District 3 no longer have to wonder who will be representing them in the upcoming film adaptation of Suzanne Collin's "The Hunger Games."

Lionsgate announced today newcomers Ian Nelson and Kalia Prescott will be the tributes of District 3, whose people are known for their skills with electronics. They are not large roles, since neither character is named in the book, although Nelson will get the most screen time of the two.

Prescott had an uncredited role in 2009's "Where the Wild Things Are."

The pair join Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter's Bone"), Josh Hutcherson ("Bridge to Terabithia"), Liam Hemsworth ("The Last Song"), Paula Malcomson ("Sons of Anarchy"), Leven Rambin ("All My Children") and fellow newcomers Willow Shields, Jack Quaid, Amandla Stenberg and Dayo Okeniyi. Elizabeth Banks ("The Next Three Days") is also in talks to star.

The film will be directed by Gary Ross ("Seabiscuit," "Pleasantville") based on a screenplay from Bill Ray ("State of Play"). It is set for a March 23, 2012, release.
