The
Hunger Games adaptation has already found its District 12 tributes in
Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss) and
Josh Hutcherson (Peeta). Now, Lionsgate has set its sights on District 11: EW has confirmed exclusively that the studio has cast Hollywood newcomers Dayo Okeniyi and Amandla Stenberg as Thresh and Rue in the adaptation of the Suzanne Collins trilogy, directed by
Gary Ross. Okeniyi, playing the intimidatingly strong tribute, has appeared in a short called
Eyes to See and an upcoming horror film,
Slew Hampshire. Stenberg, who is on board as Katniss’ arena ally
Rue, has roles in the September’s
Colombiana and the telefilm
Taste of Romance.
The Hunger Games is due to release March 23, 2012.
