As the casting rumor mill for Catching Fire keeps spinning, the latest name to pop up on the radar is Jena Malone. Rumors are circulating that the Donnie Darko actress might be cast as the scheming District 7 tribute, Johanna Mason, who butts heads with Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) in the upcoming Hunger Games sequel. In the book the character is described as being conniving and deceitful. Jena has numerous big acting credits under her belt (Sucker Punch, Pride & Prejudice) so the possibility of her being cast is not unlikely, however, this rumor has neither been confirmed nor denied as of yet by Lionsgate. Other names linked to the role include Kristen Bell and Anna Kendrick. ~Stacy Raivich

    She'd be quite good for the role. I can't see Kristen Bell or Anna Kendrick as the ax swinging fiery women from the "lumberjack" district. I think they're a bit too petite to play Joanna. It can't be that hard to find someone 5'8"-5'10" with lean muscles in Hollywood, or is it?
