See? We told you Cinna would be next!

And what an interesting Cinna 'tis! None other than Lenny Kravitz will be taking on the part of Katniss' personal stylist in "The Hunger Games," according to Down With the Capitol.

But it wasn't the sexy vocal stylings of Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way" that got the attention of director Gary Ross -- it was his turn as Nurse John in "Precious."

"When I saw Lenny's work in 'Precious,' I was just knocked out," says Ross. " It was quiet and strong and understated and open-hearted; all qualities which define this character.  I'm really looking forward to this ride."

This is an unexpected though exciting choice for the mild-mannered first-time stylist and creator of the show-stopping "Girl on Fire" costume. And don't be surprised if Kravitz ends up contributing to the film's soundtrack as well.

Lenny Kravitz is part of what appears to be the last wave of "Hunger Games" casting, as Latarsha Rose and Brooke Bundy also recently joined the party as Portia and Octavia, respectively.

"The Hunger Games" is currently shooting in North Carolina... and there's still no sign of President Snow.
