Cato, Clove and District 10 castings complete 'The Hunger Games' reaping

The reaping for "The Hunger Games" is now complete.
The reaping is complete.

The final two districts have chosen their tributes for “The Hunger Games:” Cato and Clove from District 2 and the unnamed pair from District 10.

Alexander Ludwig
“The Hunger Games” is Lionsgate's adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best selling novel about an annual fight to death involving two children chosen from each of the 12 districts of Panem. The story follows Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence, "Winter's Bone") and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson, "Bridge to Terabithia") from District 12 who are chosen to enter the 74th games.

Alexander Ludwig (“Race to Witch Mountain,” “The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising”) will be Cato and Isabelle Fuhrman (“Orphan,” “Hounddog”) is Clove, two of Catniss and Peeta's most fearsome adversaries in the games. District 2 has a close relationship with the Capitol, and trains its tributes beforehand, a practice traditionally banned. Therefore, Cato and Clove, along with their counterparts from District 1, are known as careers.

Isabelle Fuhrman
On the other hand, the tributes from District 10 (newcomers Jeremy Marinas and Dakota Hood) are minor characters, with only the boy tribute getting a passing mention due to him having a lame leg.

The newest tributes join Leven Rambin, Jack Quaid, Amandla Stenberg, Dayo Okeniyi, Ian Nelson,  Kalia Prescott, Jacqueline Emerson, Chris Mark, Ethan Jamieson, Tara Macken, Sam Ly, Leigha Hancock, Samuel Tan, MacKenzie Lintz, Imanol Yepez-Frias and Annie Thurman.

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 and is expected to be rated PG-13.
