Taylor Kitsch Is "Not Playing Finnick"

The LA Times is now reporting that Taylor Kitsch, one of the front runners, is not interested in playing Finnick.

“Not going to happen,” the 31-year-old actor wrote in an email on Wednesday. Kitsch, who is coming off the poor box office performance of the big-budget films “John Carter” and “Battleship,” would seem to have fit the bill for the athletic, good-looking character.
As for “The Lone Ranger” star Hammer and “TRON: Legacy” lead Hedlund, the studio behind the franchise, Lionsgate, said it would not confirm, deny or comment on any casting in progress.

The same happened with Robert Pattinson having to stop all the rumors.
