Mizuki Nana to voice heroine for Japanese dub of ‘The Hunger Games’




It’s been revealed that Mizuki Nana will be voice acting in the Japanese dubbed version of the film, ‘The Hunger Games‘.


The survival action film is based on Susan Collins‘ best-selling novel of the same title. Mizuki will voice the heroine Katniss, who volunteers to participate in the life-threatening game.

This will be Mizuki’s first time lending her voice for a lead role in a Hollywood film. “It’s a really wonderful film, so I did my best to liven up the story even more!” she expressed.

Mizuki also commented, “Katniss’ courage, wisdom, and quick-wittedness are manly, so the director advised me to ‘be more wild’.

‘The Hunger Games’ will open in theaters across Japan on September 28th.

Well, she's a good seiyuu right? So this transition shouldn't be awkward for her.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that women couldn't be courageous, wise, or quick-witted. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm so ambivalent about the Hunger Games tbh.

All I can think of now is "PEETA-KUUUUUN!" whined in Hinata's voice. Lovely.

I don't mind the HG books but I refuse to support the movies because of the racist bullshit with the casting

BYE!

I don't think there's racism in the movies though? The only people who are racists are the ones who were disgusted with Rue and Thresh's casting because they're black. The movie did just fine.
brucelynn 19th-Aug-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
No I am pretty sure the people who deal with the casting are racist

And yeah those comments about Rue and Thresh were so gross I am glad they got called out

this movie was so disappointing, I couldn't believe it. I thought it would make such a great movie.
