Gwendoline Christie replaces Lily Rabe on Mockingjay
Quote:
“Game of Thrones” star Gwendoline Christie will replace Lily Rabe in “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2,” Lionsgate said Friday.
Rabe had to pull out of the role of Commander Lime, one of District 13's leaders and a previous winner of the gladiatorial games that give the franchise its name, because of a scheduling conflict. She had a previous commitment to star in “Much Ado About Nothing” as part of New York City's annual Shakespeare in the Park series."
Poor Lily, I hate when actors can't star in major films (and potentially become a breakout star) because of conflicts with other irrelevant projects.
It's like when Emily Blunt couldn't play Black Widow in Iron Man 2 because of a conflict with some terrible Jack Black movie. Then look what happened to Scarlet Johannson who replaced her.
I wonder what the big fuss about this Commander Lime character is, I read the book and she literally has 2 lines... and the fact that we now have 2 great actresses splitting her role
