The Hunger Games: Kalia Prescott and Ian Nelson Join the Cast


Just last week, there was a cornucopia of casting for the Gary Ross (Pleasantville) directed big-screen adaptation of the first novel in Suzanne Collins‘ best selling trilogy, The Hunger Games. Among them were Dayo Okeniyi (Slew Hampshire),  Amandla Stenberg (Falling Skies), Levin Rambin (CSI: Miami, Wizards of Waverly Place), Jack Quaid (son of Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan), Willow Shields (Beyond the Blackboard) and Paula Malcomson (Caprica, Sons of Anarchy).

Now, Lionsgate has announced two more additions to the cast. Kalia Prescott, who was a young stunt performer in The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause and Red Dawn, and newcomer Ian Nelson have been chosen to portray unnamed tributes of District 3, which is known for its expertise with explosives in The Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games is slated to hit theaters on March 23rd, 2012.
