Stanley Tucci joins The Hunger Games as Caesar Flickerman
Tucci is represented by CAA and Anonymous Content.
About The Role
Caesar Flickerman is utterly familiar to all the citizens of Panem as the l host of The Hunger Games. Known for his outrageous appearance and buoyant personality, his upbeat interviews of the 24 tributes - a boy and a girl from each of the country's 12 districts - are presented on every television in the nation. He is famous for turning any conversation around to the positive and finding humor in even the most dire circumstances.
About The Film
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in The Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
The Hunger Games will be directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson's Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Collins' best-selling novel, which has over 3 million copies in print in the United States alone, is the first in a trilogy of novels which have developed a global following.
Lionsgate will release The Hunger Games on March 23, 2012.
The Hunger Games was released March 23rd, 2012 and stars Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley, Jennifer Lawrence, Willow Shields, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Sandra Ellis Lafferty, Paula Malcomson. The film is directed by Gary Ross.
