Stanley Tucci and a bunch of kids join The Hunger Games
The Gary Ross-helmed adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games can’t let a day go by without another official casting announcement. After Wes Bentley nabbed the role of head gamemaker Seneca Crane last week, today Stanley Tucci signed on to play Caesar Flickerman, the TV host responsible for interviewing the 24 tributes, two from each district that participates in the titular games. It's a role that brings some darkly comic levity to the story, which seems to lend itself well to Tucci’s talents, seen in Easy A or The Devil Wears Prada.
