District 11 Tributes Have Been Cast

The next two tributes have been announced .. although this isn't quite like the reaping .. is it?  Dayo Okeniyi and Amanda Stenberg have been cast as Thresh and Rue.  All these castings are getting me VERY excited for the movie!
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 calledEyes 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.
