Gale and Peeta, Entertainment Weekly
Just as we got our first peek of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss from Entertainment Weekly, we are now getting a look at Josh Hutcherson as Peeta and Liam Hemsworth as Gale.
The magazine article inside features an interview with Hutcherson, who talks about his experience filming The Hunger Games as well as his new friendship with Hemsworth. Hopefully there are more pictures inside!
What do you think of the duo? Many Hunger Games fans were suspicious of the casting at first, but this picture has us thinking that the director definitely saw something in them that we didn’t.

Since the announcement earlier this week that Peeta will be played by Josh Hutcherson and Gale will be played by Liam Hemsworth, many different sites have weighed in with their reactions. Here are a few of our favorite reads (after the official press release):

Gabriel Liotta as Peeta Mellark in The Hunger Games?
The Internet Movie Database (IMDb.com) is now officially listing Gabriel Liotta as Peeta Mellark in the upcoming Hunger Games Movie. He is the first actor to be listed in the much-speculated-about cast.
Liotta’s biography gives his date of birth as March 17, 1992, and his work includes mainly television including Big Love, Law & Order, Big Time Rush, The Mentalist, The O.C., and Lipstick Jungle.
We’ll post more once we can get a more official confirmation. What do you think of the casting choice?

Update: It appears that CafePress has had to take down most of its Hunger Games shirts. For now it seems like the easiest place to get them is through Amazon. Click here to see their selection. We will update the site as we find more shirts.
Hunger Games Shirts
With the upcoming release of the Hunger Games movie, everyone is looking for Hunger Games shirts. We’ve put together a list of some of our favorites.
Cafe Press has a great selection of shirts (and other Hunger Games merchandise) that you can personalize. You can get many different styles and sizes of shirts and even add your own text to some of them. The last time I looked, they had over 30 different styles. Everything from “Team Peeta” and “Team Katniss” shirts to “District 13″ to images of the Mockingjay.
Green Team Peeta shirt
Red District 13 or Bust Shirt
White Rebel shirt with Black logo
Click to see all of the Hunger Games shirts on Cafepress. I expect that we will either see all of them pulled (for copyright reasons) or a lot more added as the movie gets closer.
Amazon has quite a few officially licensed shirts. Click here to see them all. Below are just a few:
Hunger Games Mockingjay Bookart Juniors T-shirt in Dusty Blue
Hunger Games Girl on Fire Juniors T-Shirt in Black
Hunger Games Down with Capitol Poster Adult T-shirt
Hot Topic also has some officially licensed Hunger Games merchandise. Right now they only have a couple of shirts–the one at the top of the post and this one:
Hunger Games Mockingjay Pin Girls T-shirt (junior sizes)
We’ll keep our eyes open for other shirts and add them here as we find them.
