With the Hunger Games film adaptation hard on its way with casting news, the interviewer Caesar Flickerman will be played by none other than Stanley Tucci!
Directly from the press release:
Lionsgate® and the filmmakers of THE HUNGER GAMES are pleased to announce that Stanley Tucci (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE LOVELY BONES) has been cast in the role of Caesar Flickerman in the much anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ worldwide smash hit novel.
I really like Stanley Tucci. Everything he is in seems to be a little bit better.
The role of Caesar Flickerman is significant as he is the interviewer and direct face of the media that tries to put a glamourous spin on the barbaric Hunger Games.
The character is also known to adapt to the captial fashion trend to rapidly change the colour of his hair, lips and wearing garish makeup. I could see Tucci completely running with this.
While reading the book, I saw Martin Short in the role, but considering Tucci, I can’t see anyone else!
