The production design of the film series was undeniably impressive.
In the film, Lawrence had dark brown hair, but the eyes and skin were pretty spot-on.
It turns out, Laurence was asked to lose weight for the film, but she refused.
Why would we make her something unobtainable and thin?'"
However, the books described Gale as being even more dreamy than Hemsworth if that were possible.
In fact, the pair are said to “resemble each other.”
We have to say that this was some excellent casting.
One thing that Hemsworth nailed was the District 12 look he was pretty thin.
As he toldGames Radar, “The physicality for me was losing weight …
I wanted to look hungry.”
However, in the films Peeta had brown eyes and a much shorter, swept back hairstyle.
As he toldCinema Blend, the blond hair ended up being pretty annoying.
In the movies, the makeup and costume department took this description as inspiration and ran with it.
Some were very deconstructed, some were just bizarre looking.
I just wanted them to be creative and fun and really think out of the box."
Well, they definitely succeeded!
In the book, he is “a paunchy, middle-aged man” who is often drunk.
In the “The Hunger Games” movies, Haymitch was portrayed by Woody Harrelson.
It’s clear that with this character, the makeup designers took some liberties.
Cinna was written as having green eyes
Cinna is Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark’s stylist.
His defining feature in the books is his “normal” appearance compared to the others in the Capitol.
Katniss notes, “It brings out the flecks of gold in his green eyes.”
In “The Hunger Games” films, Cinna is played by Lenny Kravitz.
Cinna looked pretty much perfect, thanks to the shimmering gold dash of eyeliner.
Apparently, Kravitz loved the look.
Kravitz even took some home with him!
Additionally, he’s younger in the books than Kravitz.
In terms of costume, Kravitz told People, the designers admittedly added their own spin.
She is initially selected as the tribute for District 12, but Katniss offers to go in her place.
In the book, Primrose doesn’t have the “Seam” look that Katniss and Gale share.
In other words, Primrose is incredibly tiny, much like her sister.
Overall, the movies captured Primrose pretty well.
However, unlike the book version, the movie version of Primrose had brown eyes and sandy blonde hair.
Still, Shields is totally gorgeous and brought Primrose to life.
In the book, Johanna is depicted as being deceptively strong, but able to pretend to be meek.
She has “spiky hair” and “wide-set brown eyes.”
In the movie, Johanna Mason is played by Jena Malone.
In the movie it was straight and long rather than spiky.
Plus, Malone’s eyes weren’t particularly wide-set, but we hardly blame her for that!
Malone’s natural personality more than made up for these physical differences.
She’s got some deep-rooted issues, but I love her strength and humor."
Apparently, playing the role even brought out more of Malone’s sassiness.
We have to say she was perfect for the part.
In his first appearance, he is described as being “the handsome bronze-haired guy from District 4.”
He is also said to have “famous sea green eyes.”
In the movies, the handsome Finnick was played by Sam Claflin.
Unlike Finnick, Claflin has blonde rather than bronze hair.
He also had deep blue eyes in the movie, rather than “sea green.”
However, Claflin wouldn’t agree.
I wouldn’t have cast me: a pale, English, overweight, stubbled kid."
Wow, looking like Finnick certainly isn’t easy!
He ruled over all of the districts and orchestrated The Hunger Games.
He also has a mouth that’s riddled with sores.
In the movies, the character was played by Donald Sutherland.
As it turns out, the makeup team tried other looks but decided on this look in the end.
… What if we just make your eyebrows white, all white to match your hair?'
Additionally, Coin’s eyes are gray.
The color of slush that you wish would melt away."
ActressJulianne Moorelooked pretty close to this description especially when it came to her hair.
However, we think they could have highlighted the gray in her eyes just a little more.
By the sound of things, the team tried hard to copy the book’s description.
“She’s oddly colorless,” Moore toldRotten Tomatoes.
She is also meant to have “amber eyes” and red hair.
Katniss Everdeen describes her as “the fox-faced girl from District 5.”
She also had the right hair and build.
However, we wish the team had exaggerated her animalistic, fox-like features as described in the book.
Aside from the lack of any fox-like features, we loved the way Emerson played this character.
By the looks of it, she really understood her sneaky qualities.
