Actress Paula Malcomson will be taking a trip to totalitarian country of Panem as the latest cast member of the upcoming "Hunger Games" adaptation.
Malcomson, who has recently appeared in the television series "Caprica" and "Sons of Anarchy," will be Mrs. Everdeen, mother to Catniss (Jennifer Lawrence, "Winter's Bone") and Prim (newcomer Willow Shields).
The movie is based on the first novel in Suzanne Collin's "The Hunger Games" trilogy, about an annual battle to the death involving two children selected from each of the 12 districts of Panem. Catniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson, "Bridge to Terabithia") represent District 12 in the 74th annual event.
The cast also includes Liam Hemsworth ("The Last Song"), Leven Rambin ("All My Children") and newcomers 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.
