A couple weeks ago we heard about a slight change in Seneca Crane’s character for The Hunger Games film, and now we’re learning of another change.

Hollywood Life got their hands on a copy of The Hunger Games script, which is absent of a story line for the character Madge Undersee:

Madge Undersee, the mayor’s daughter and Katniss Everdeen‘s friend, does not appear in the 137 page draft of the script we have. Madge is most notably remembered for being one of Katniss’s only friends other than Gale. In the beginning of the book Gale is rude to her on the day of the reaping because she is very dressed up with her expensive mockingjay pin, and it reminds him she’s never had to enter her name for tesserae (food in exchange for more name entries into the yearly reaping). Madge is one of Katniss’s visitors after she volunteers in place of Prim at the reaping, and she insists Katniss wear the mockingjay pin as her District 12 token.

In the film, we first see the pin when Katniss pulls it out and gives it to Prim as they are getting dressed for the reaping. Prim gives it back to Katniss right before she leaves. Katniss then leaves Rue’s body with it after she covers her with flowers. At the end of the script she is gifted with an entirely new mockingjay pin as a present from her own district (12).

No cast member has been announced to play Undersee which lends credibility to this report.

Do you think this will affect the film? As we’ve seen in book to film franchises like Potter and Twilight, sometimes some parts of the books just have to be cut.
