CL Casting, the company responsible for the extras casting of Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2 in Atlanta, has just sent out a call for "The Second Rebellion." From their casting call today:

Attention residents of Districts of Georgia and to all of those friendly to the Second Rebellion!!

We at CL Casting have intercepted a confidential transmission from the Atlanta Capitol addressing the mayors of the various District Cites of Georgia on some secret operation known only as
"The Caged Bird Sings".

"We are calling on you now to deliver to us a certain breed of... character.

We of the Atlanta Capitol are seeking MALES and FEMALES of various ethnicities - Hispanic, Indian, Asian, Caucasian, African-American, Panamanian etc. However, we ask these loyal citizens be thin, skinny types that are available to work October 7th, 9th 10th and 11th. As we follow a strict dress code here within the Atlanta Capitol, these citizens MUST be available for a wardrobe fitting to be scheduled sometime this coming weekend or the following week. This statute is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Please forward this urgent message along to your most loyal citizens, those willing to serve the Atlanta Capitol without question nor comment."

OFFICIAL: Lily Rabe is Commander Lyme in 'Mockingjay 1 & 2'

It's official! Lily Rabe has been cast as Commander Lyme in Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2. Probably best known for her roles in seasons 1 and 2 of American Horror Story, Rabe is also the daughter of the late actress Jill Clayburgh and Tony Award-winning playwright and screenwriter David Rabe.

If you need a little Mockingjay refresher course, Commander Lyme is a former Victor from District 2 who leads the rebellion in D2. From Mockingjay:

"The commander from 2, a middle aged woman named Lyme. She’s memorable enough, standing over six feet tall and heavily muscled. But it’s only when I see a clip of her in the field, leading a raid on the main entrance of the Nut, that something clicks and I realize I’m in the presence of another victor."

Official: Julianne Moore is President Coin in 'Mockingjay Parts 1&2'

It's FINALLY official! Rumors have been swirling about Julianne Moore as Coin since well before San Diego Comic Con. We fansites even weighed in on her potential as Coin in the series, Campaigning For Coin (fyi, we LOVED the idea). It's true - Julianne Moore is your President Coin in Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2!

Julianne Moore is an award winning actress best known for her varied work in films such as The Kids Are All Right, The Big Lebowski, Magnolia, and Boogie Nights. She recently won an Emmy Award for her turn as Sarah Palin in Game Change.

She’s worked with Josh Hutcherson in The Kids Are All Right, Woody Harrelson in Game Change, and Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Big Lebowski, Boogie Nights, and Magnolia. And her upcoming film Seventh Son ALMOST had her working with both Jennifer Lawrence (she bowed out) and Sam Claflin (he auditioned for the lead).

You can connect with Julianne on Twitter, and whosay.

OFFICIAL: Evan Ross is Messalla in 'Mockingjay Parts 1&2'

For those of you scratching your heads trying to remember who the heck Messalla is, he's described as: Cressida’s assistant, “a slim young man with several sets of earrings. On careful observation, I see his tongue has been pierced, too, and he wears a stud with a silver ball the size of a marble.”

Fun trivia fact: Evan Ross is music legend Diana Ross' son! He's also a musician himself. You can find Evan on twitter at @realevanross, Facebook HERE, and he's also got a website.
