* DawsonCasting: At first, the film's creators though of casting an actual teen in the lead role (among others, ChloeMoretz and HaileeSteinfeld were considered for Katniss' part). Then, they finally settled with 21-year old Jennifer Lawrence. Liam Hemsworth (Gale) also was 21 during filming; Josh Hutcherson (Peeta), however, was 19 and thus barely averting the trope.
