A favorite book and soon-to-be movie, "The Hunger Games" revealed some casting secrets today.  Guessing which actors will play which parts has been quite a game. 

Lionsgate assigned actors Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth to key parts in the movie.  Hutcherson and Hemsworth are joining Jennifer Lawrence, who will play the lead roll - Katniss Everdeen - as Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne, respectively.  

Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark acts as the son of a baker, who plays these games with Katniss.  Hemsworth plays the role of major eye-candy, as well as the loyal friend and partner-in-crime to Katniss. 

The movie is scheduled to be released sometime in 2012.
