'Hunger Games' Star Alexander Ludwig Vying for 'Divergent'

It's a pretty common belief among us YA book-to-film junkies that Veronica Roth's "Divergent" is on the fast track to become the next big thing in adaptive movies. Between lightning-paced action sequences, hardcore dystopian kids and one well-restrained romance, all the necessary ingredients for a star-making phenom are built right in.
While Shailene Woodley's now been tapped to handle the central female role Beatrice "Tris" Prior, the gentleman hero position Four is still wide open, and "The Hunger Games" star Alexander Ludwig wants it. Bad. Get More »

Lautner and Ludwig and McAvoy — Oh My, For July!
Lauren Cox
Summer in New York has been all sorts of record-breaking hot, and I'm not just talking about the weather! This July, I decided to take a break from waiting outside talk shows and it back to my roots of meeting celebrities on film and television sets.
Not only was I able to stage a run-in with James McAvoy, who is filming "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby" here in New York, but, by crossing a state line or three, I also got to meet "The Hunger Games" star Alexander Ludwig and "Twilight"'s Taylor Lautner on the set of "Grown Ups 2" in Massachusetts.
Not to brag, but I am surprised that I haven't suffered heat stroke from being around three massive movie-making hotties during all of these East Coast heat waves. Get More »

There may only be a few things officially lined up for "The Hunger Games" at this year's Comic-Con event (we can probably — hopefully! — count on a proper "Catching Fire" cast and filmmaker panel next summer), but there's still some real potential for the annual shindig-o-geekery to make us feel like we're living right there in Victor's Village.

'Hunger Games' Star Alexander Ludwig Is All 'Grown Ups 2'

Alexander Ludwig is ready to lighten up a little bit.
The young actor, who played the villainous Cato in "The Hunger Games," will laugh it up in the comedy sequel, "Grown Ups 2," according to Variety.
Ludwig will be playing the role of David Spade's son (we don't know why, but we find that very amusing). Just what kind of father-son relationship they have in the movie remains to be seen, but we have a feeling it might involve some tension and/or conflict. Get More »

Lionsgate
Faithful as it was to the source material, "The Hunger Games" still had more than its fair share of on-screen surprises.

Next Factor: 'The Hunger Games' Star Alexander Ludwig

With his naturally blond hair and muscular shoulders, it's no surprise that Alexander Ludwig was one of many young Hollywood actors who auditioned to play Katniss' love interest Peeta in "The Hunger Games." When he didn't get the part, director Gary Ross offered him the role of Cato, the most fearsome of the 24 Tributes.
Ludwig smartly snapped up the role and made the character his own, committing to an intense fitness and weapons-training regime that left him as dexterous with a sword as Jennifer Lawrence was with a bow and arrow. So he may not be the Boy with the Bread, but he's poised to impress as the Boy with the Brute Strength. Get More »
