According to Deadline.com and The Hollywood Reporter, Francis Lawrence and Lionsgate are eyeing Julianne Moore for the role of President Alma Coin in Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2! Just a rumor for now, but stay tuned! Coincidentally, we JUST did an edition of the fan site series Campaigning For Coin on Moore. Check out what we had to say about her casting HERE. Hint: We give it a three finger salute.
From Deadline:
EXCLUSIVE: As The Hunger Games moves into the final two movies culled from the Suzanne Collins novel Mockingjay, I’ve heard that Lionsgate and director Francis Lawrence are eyeing Julianne Moore to play the role of President Alma Coin. She is the manipulative politician who figures brightly in the finale as Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) becomes a symbol of rebellion against the autocratic Capitol government. This is likely to happen quickly, and Moore would star in both of the final films, which brings back Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth and the returning cast along with Philip Seymour Hoffman, who will be making his first appearance in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which the studio is planning to bring to San Diego Comic-Con in July. Color Force’s Nina Jacobson is producing the series.
From The Hollywood Reporter:
Julianne Moore is in early talks to join the third and fourth installments of The Hunger Games films.
The actress would play District 13 leader Alma Coin in the two-part adaptation of Suzanne Collins'Mockingjay, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Talks are early, but Moore would join a cast that includes stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth as well asPhilip Seymour Hoffman.
