That boozehound is named Casca Highbottom of The Hunger Games. No one seems excited for this adaptation. The casting news is good, but I didn't know how the man created the Hunger Games, in which a bunch of kids are drafted to murder each other until the last one is able to bring home more food for their families. The man was drunk. The fan encyclopedia is from the fan.
The father of Coriolanus Snow was a student at the University. He disliked Dr. Volumnia Gaul so much that he almost failed her class. The students were challenged to create a punishment for the districts so extreme that they would never be able to forget how they had hurt the Capitol. In a drunken state, Highbottom came up with the idea of the Hunger Games, as he excelled at puzzles. Snow assured him that it was a joke and that he was even drunker than before. Highbottom was horrified to discover that Snow had turned in the project to get a good grade. He wouldn't forgive Snow for betraying him.
I don't know. I can't say anything at this revelation. This isn't as bad as proclaiming " wizards used to shit where they stood" but it's not good. It turns a horrible celebration of fascists into a drunken prank that ends in disaster. It's also very dumb.
The film's producer isn't saying if Dinklage had had a drink before accepting the role. She told Deadline that she couldn't think of a better actor to play Highbottom. The man who conceived the Hunger Games and the Dean of the Academy is a secret character. Peter will be infused with the intelligence, depth, and pathos that the role requires.
That sounds better than a drunken man who created an incredibly powerful tool of fascists as a lark. I hope that's true.
There will be a Hunger Games movie on November 17, 2023.
