Amanda Plummer will play Wiress in Lionsgate‘s The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire, which is due to be released November 22, 2013. The character’s eccentricity earns her the nickname “Nuts” from fellow tributes, and though she doesn’t communicate traditionally, her observations and contributions prove invaluable. Plummer, a screen and stage performer whose film credits include Pulp Fiction and The Fisher King, next stars in the indie Abigail Harms.

A very big YES to this news! She is who I pictured as Wiress when reading the book. More specifically, her character from The Fisher King was the vision in my head.
She will be perfect! Here’s hoping the rest of the casting is equally inspired.
“I love you, Honey Bunny.”
“Tell that bitch to be cool.”
Holy crap that’s the most perfect casting ever. Wouldn’t it be awesome if they cast Tim Roth as Beetee?
