By the time Collins finished his script, Ross decided to write a script with Collins and screenwriter Billy Ray.

In October 2010, the script was sent to the actors, and the casting took place between March and May 2011. The first cast was the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen. A total of 30 actresses are in talks to play the role, with Jennifer Lawrence, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, and ChloÃÆ'Â ° Grace Moretz being called the most. The role was given to Lawrence.

The role of Peeta Mellark, the respect of fellow Katniss, and Gale Hawthorne, her best friend, began casting the end of that month. Top rivals for Peeta include Josh Hutcherson, Alexander Ludwig (later Cato), Hunter Parrish, Evan Peters, and Lucas Till.

Every year, in the ruins of what once was North America, the Capitol of the nation of Panem forced each of the 12 districts to send teenage boys and girls, between the ages of 12 and 18, to compete in the Hunger Games: a nationally televised event where 'tribute' fought each other in the arena, until one survivor. When Primrose Everdeen was 'harvested', his older sister, Katniss Everdeen, volunteered in her place to enter the game and was forced to rely on her sharp instincts when she was pitted with highly trained tributes.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

Together with another 12 District colleagues, Peeta Mellark, Katniss Everdeen returned home safely after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Feast. Victory means that they have to leave their loved ones behind and start the Victory Tour across the district. Along the way, Katniss felt a boiling rebellion - one that she and Peeta might have created - but the Capitol is still in control as President Snow prepares for the 75th Hunger Games - Quarter Quell - which can change Panem forever.
