- Josh Hutcherson, The Hunger Games, 2011.
- Jamie Campbell Bower, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Germany-Canada-US, 2012. When the cocky Alex Pettyfer lost out by asking for $10m, the support role became a battle between Twilighter Bower and the Canadian Ludwig. Plus Douglas Booth, Leebo Freeman, Max Irons, Xavier Samuel, Ed Speleers, Lucas Till, Nico Tortorella. Seen as the next Hunger Games. It wasn’t and the (first!) sequel, The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes, had a quiet funeral. Family only, no suits.
- Theo James, Divergent, 2013. Now here was the new Hunger Games… Who should be Tobias “Four” Eaton, trainer for those aiming to in the Dauntless faction of a future Chicago? For his film of the first book in Veronica Roth’s dystopian trilogy, director and Yale graduate Neil Burger saw all the new faces… Luke Bracey, Jeremy (“I don’t wann be a teen idol”) Irvine, Jack Reynor, Miles Teller (who became Paul) and Brenton Thwaites. And three from the Mortal Instruments hunt: Ludwig, Alex Pettyfer and Lucas Till.
