Kitsch Snuffed Out Of Catching Fire

Taylor Kitsch will NOT take the role of Finnick Odair in the upcoming sequel "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire says CNN. Garrett Hedlund and Armie Hammer are still being considered

In the books, Odair is a handsome and tan 24-year-old from District 4 who won the annual Hunger Games ten years earlier armed with a trident and a net. He's known for having many lovers around the Capitol.

Kitsch's commitments to Peter Berg's Navy SEAL Team drama "Lone Survivor" have ruled him out.


"Slumdog Millionaire" scribe Simon Beaufoy had signed on to originally go ahead and adapt author Suzanne Collins' next novel in the series a while back when Gary Ross was attached to direct. Since Francis Lawrence has replaced Ross, a new script is being commissioned.

Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Lenny Kravitz and Donald Sutherland are expected to return.

Things need to move at a quickend pace since Catching Fire already has a set release date of Nov. 22, 2013, and needs to finish shooting by December so that star Jennifer Lawrence can start work on Fox's in-development as yet Untitled X-Men First Class Sequel in January.
