Is Jennifer Lawrence Set To Star In Hunger Games Movie?

You read the tea leaves, you absorbed our suggestions, but it seems like Hunger Games director Gary Ross may have found his Katniss Everdeen in recent Academy Award-nominee Jennifer Lawrence. Deadline is reporting that Lawrence has emerged as the front runner for the underfed lead role of the dystopian film franchise, leaping ahead of other contenders like True Grit's Hailee Steinfeld, Little Miss Sunshine's Abigail Breslin and Sucker Punch's Emily Browning. Talks are reportedly set to begin next week, but take this casting news with a grain of salt, though: remember when we all thought Jamie Bell had Spider-Man all locked up? [Deadline]
