Lionsgate has just announced that singer/songwriter/actor, Lenny Kravitz has been cast to play the role of Cinna in the upcoming adaptation of the best selling series, The Hunger Games.
A brief history about the character:
Cinna is Katniss Everdeen’s assigned fashion stylist for the highly ceremonial lead up to The 74th Annual Hunger Games. Though he’s a mild mannered first time stylist, the designs he creates, such as the “Girl On Fire” costume for the tributes’ live televised debut, are show-stopping.
Director Gary Ross said, “When I saw Lenny’s work in ‘Precious’ I was just knocked out. It was quiet and strong and understated and open hearted; all qualities which define this character. I’m really looking forward to this ride’
Also just announced is that Toby Jones will be playing the games announcer, Claudius Templesmith, a small role that mostly consists of a voice that blares out in the arena while the combatants fight
