The Hunger Games casting is in full swing with director Gary Ross and author Suzanne Collins working on getting the right actor in the right role.

Jennifer Lawrence has been chosen as Katniss Everdeen but the next two big leads are still up in the air. Peeta Mellark is thought to be the role that is next on the casting list (with the role of Gale not far behind)

A few actors have confirmed they have tested for the part including Alex Pettyfer, Josh Hutcherson, Lucas Till, and Hunter Parrish are the more well known actors. Also said to be shortlisted for the role are Evan Peters from Kick Ass and Alexander Ludwig of Escape to Witch Mountain.

Now Pettyfer appears to have dropped off the list of final contenders so perhaps he is no longer in the running.

These are all really good choices but I have always like Hutcherson for the part.

Who do you think should be cast opposite Lawrence?

Alex Pettyfer’s nerves must have been a mess but you’d never tell from looking at these photos.

The star walked the red carpet at The Grove’s Pacific Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday, February 24th for the premiere of his latest film, Beastly. Pettyfer arrived late because he had a house fire to attend to!

“There was an electrical fire in the garage while no one was home,” “Glee” actress Dianna Agron‘s rep told ETOnline following the red carpet event. “The house was not burned. No one was hurt.”

According to officials, 27 Los Angeles Fire Department personnel answered the call and the blaze was out in under a half hour.

After the release date was moved around multiple times, Beastly is finally ready to hit theaters on March 4th.

Alex Pettyfer is Kyle, the obnoxious high school jerk who has everything and lives at the shallow end of the pool who humilates Kendra (Mary Kate Olsen) and finds himself cursed to a life of hideous scars. With the help of his blind tutor Will (Neil Patrick Harris) Kyle has to find love, someone who can see past the curse and Lindy, (Vanessa Hudgens) the class mate he ignored might be the one to see Kyle in a different light.

Alex Pettyfer walked the red carpet for the premiere of I Am Number Four held at the Village Theater in Westwood, California on Wednesday night.

The actor looked very dashing in his gray striped suit with peacock green tie.

Pettyfer dodged the relationship question when on Jimmy Fallon’s late night talk show this week. When Fallon asked if he and costar Dianna Agron were “dating, engaged?” Pettyfer said:

The Brit star then picked up his mug of water and started to drink from it, refusing to say anything about his love life.

He then said: “Ellen [DeGeneres] taught me this. She said when you don’t want to answer a question you grab the mug!”

Actor Alex Pettyfer, who is rumored to be engaged to his girlfriend Dianna Agron, admitted that he strangely relates to the character he plays in the science fiction thriller “I Am Number Four”. Alex plays John Smith, an alien who disguises himself as a regular high school student to avoid his enemies.

“My character is an outsider,” Alex says, “and he’s a role model for kids who think they don’t fit in.” Alex can identify: “I definitely feel a bit like an alien in America.”

The 20 year-old British hunk is also going to take over the big screen with “Beastly”, a modern version of “The Beauty and The Beast” story also starring Vanessa Hudgens. Alex reveals the hardest part was to sit for long hours in makeup for the Beastly makeover.

“Four and a half hours to put on the prosthetics, and one and a half to take them off,” he recalls of his terrifying transformation. “It was intense.”

When asked if he would like to live forever, Alex replied, “No, but I do treat every moment like it’s my last.”

The 24 year-old Glee star and 20 year-old Beastly actor have been dating for a few months, but they have not openly talked about their relationship. Dianna recently said she would never discuss her personal life in the media.

Dianna wrote on her blog, “I have been getting a lot of questions about things that I don’t feel the need toexplain or talk about. I don’t mean it as an insult, I’ve just never shared private details of my personal life to promote my career or a project that I am working on.”

She continues, “Perhaps some of you would rather hear about projects I am working on and so proud to be a part of, not whether or not I’m swapping spit with some guy? I guess it has been a slow media week….”

For now, their reps denied the engagement rumors. Both Alex and Dianna have only commented about how wonderful it was to work together in the new sci-fi thriller, which is set to hit theaters on February 18, 2011.

Hot new actor Alex Pettyfer, who has two movies coming out (“Beastly” and “I Am Number Four”), is featured on the upcoming issue of GQ Magazine (February 2011)- more pictures below.

The 20 year-old is currently dating “I Am Number Four” co-star, Glee actress Dianna Agron. In an interview with JJJR, Alex explained how he imagines light coming out of his hands for his role in the movie.

Alex says, “It’s really cool. I was listening to an interview with the guy who plays Freddy Kruger and he was saying how he developed his technique and had this flowing motion that he used to have as an actor. That he just took the hands and so for me I just wanted to figure out a way – I didn’t want it to be all very dramatic.

“I came up with this way to light my hands, take it down and then I came up with this concept that when my hands light up cause it’s illumine and you don’t know what happens later in the books, and I do, but it kind of burns my hands so it’s a kind of painful experience every time I light up. But it’s great to have something to play with.”

“I Am Number Four” premieres on February 18, 2011 (teaser trailer HERE) and “Beastly” hits theaters on March 4, 2011 (movie trailer HERE).

Alex Pettyfer Too Hot For GQ Pictures Read more »

Vanessa Hudgens is gearing up for the release of Beastly (finally!) The date has been delayed, moved and pushed around the calendar so much it’s a wonder there is still interest in it.

Costarring with Alex Pettyfer, Mary Kate Olsen and Neil Patrick Harris (who later directed her at the Hollywood Bowl in a performance of Rent,) Hudgens spoke to ComingSoon about how she chose Beastly, her character Lindy and doing stunts while afraid of heights:

On what attracted her to the role: “It was just a script that was in the pile, you know, and I read it, and I thought that it was really interesting. I had a meeting with them, and I remember running in, and I was late and I felt horrible, and we just had a great conversation. It was me, Susan the producer and Daniel the director, and we just sat and talked about the project. Just hearing Daniel’s ambitions, what he wanted to do, how he wanted to shoot it, how he wanted to develop the characters. It just seemed like the right next choice.”

On who Lindy is and how she’s different: “It’s a whole lot different than me. I’m very outgoing and confident and when it comes to Lindy, she’s a bit more all over the place. She’s kind of the person that has a bunch of word vomit. She’ll say something and then instantly start to retract it, yet she can’t stop talking about it. She’s just kind of this neurotic character that’s just a lot of fun. There’s much more of a deeper undertone to the way I speak in it, because I have an extremely high voice.”

On her stunt work: “I’ve had one stunt already, which was quite frightening ’cause I’m afraid of heights, and I had to climb up a ladder, hold onto something upside down, they rigged me and I was literally hanging upside down on a pole, and then they would let the latch go, and they’d count “3,2,1″ and then I’d let go and fall into Alex’s arms.”

The movie hits theaters March 4th.
