Everyone seems to be a fan of The Hunger Games these days, and why not? It’s awesome! Even actor Kellan Lutz from Twilight loves it, which is also awesome! He loves it so much in fact that he would jump at the chance to be a part of the franchise, like maybe snagging a role in Catching Fire. If that happened the comparisons between the two franchises would NEVER end, so maybe it’s not such a good idea? See an excerpt from Eonline‘s report below.
“I love the script, I love the movie, everything about it!” Lutz gushed to us last night at Us Weekly‘s Hot Hollywood bash at Greystone Manor in West Hollywood.
Lutz said he’s “always been” a fan of the franchise. “I got hooked reading all those books,” he said. “I remember before they ever started making a movie, I was like, “I would love to be a part of this!'”
Maybe Lutz could snag a part alongside Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth in the Hunger GamessequelCatching Fire? “That’d be really special,” he smiled.
As for the never-ending Twilight–Hunger Games comparisons, Lutz said, “I feel like Twilight‘s kind of more girly and on the romance side and lacks the action and then Hunger Games is very much an action-packed movie that lacks some of the romance.”
“But those stories, it shows that you don’t have to stick to one certain formula,” he said. “If you have these keys ingredients in the caldron it will make a great movie. It’s great that there’s fans for both of them.”
So, what do you think? Is there a place for Lutz in Catching Fire?
