According to link, Peeta and Gale have now been cast for The Hunger Games movie. Peeta will be played by Josh Hutcherson and Gale will be played by Liam Hemsworth.
People all over the Internet are debating whether these are good casting choices. While speculation had been going around for the last month, many people were surprised at these choices.
Personally, I don't think that any actors would have lived up to what I had in my head for the characters. They usually do not. Liam Hemsworth does seem a little bit to "suave" to play Gale because Gale was the more reserved, backwards character of the two. Josh Hutcherson seems a lot younger than Liam although they are supposed to be about the same age.
A lot will change as we start to see pictures taken during filming. Changes in hair style, clothes, and mannerisms are really what make the characters. It's worth giving them a chance.
The film is set to be released March 23, 2012.
