Donald Sutherland is the latest to join Lionsgate's "The Hunger Game" film with the announcement he will play President Snow.
Snow is the leader of Panem, which puts on the Hunger Games, an annual fight to death involving two children chosen from each of the 12 districts of the country.
Sutherland, whose career spans almost 50 years, was most recently seen in "The Mechanic" and "The Eagle."
"The Hunger Games" trilogy, written by Suzanne Collins, follows Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence, "Winter's Bone") and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson, "Bridge to Terabithia"), who are the tributes from District 12 in the 74th games.
Sutherland also joins Lenny Kravitz ("Precious"), Woody Harrelson ("Zombieland"), Liam Hemsworth ("The Last Song"), Elizabeth Banks ("The Next Three Days"), Paula Malcomson ("Sons of Anarchy"), Wes Bentley ("American Beauty"), Stanley Tucci ("The Lovely Bones") and newcomer Willow Shields ("Beyond the Blackboard").
"The Hunger Games" is being 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.
