"The Hunger Games (Ross, 2012)"

They just cast their protagonist, Jennifer Lawrence, any thoughts? Anyone read the book(s)? I had a feeling they wouldn't cast a teenager like Hailee Steinfield in that role. I haven't watch Winter's Bone but I heard she's great in it. I'm still interested. I'm not expecting much though.
