Juliane Moore to be cast as yet ANOTHER villain. I swear once you play Sarah Palin you are typecast forever!

"Evil? You don't know what evil is. Try playing this lunatic!"
Courtesy of Atlantic Wire:  

Well, Sarah Palin herself won't be playing the pivotal role of President Alma Coin in the third (and, yes, fourth) Hunger Games films, but the woman who played her to so much acclaim, Julianne Moore, just might—and in full-on Palin fashion.

Deadline's Mike Fleming Jr. reports that Lionsgate and director Francis Lawrence are honing in on Moore to play Coin, the duplicitous leader of Panem's rebellion and president of the mysterious District 13. It's pretty much perfect casting. Moore, as we learned from her Emmy-winning performance as Palin in HBO's Game Change, is great at brining out the best in the sleazier elements from politicians, and Coin is definitely sleazy, using heroine Katniss for her own ulterior motives. The character—minor spoiler alert—is ultimately responsible for one of the most tragic and surprising deaths in the book. 

Of course this follows up Moore's recent turn as the batshit crazy bible thumping mother from hell in the soon to be released remake of Stephen King's Carrie.

 Here is what Moore had to say about that Palinesue role:She told SFX magazine:

"It's impossible not to be scary as this character. She is terrifying. I think any time you encounter a parent being cruel it's terrifying and that's the bottom line. If you think about being a child or an adolescent, you are relatively powerless." 

What can I say, once you start playing deranged lunatics who are constantly placing children in danger it's just hard to stop the momentum.

However I have to say, that as terrifying as Coin and Margaret White, are they will STILL pale in comparison to the Lunatic from Lake Lucille. Because THAT unnatural creature still walks among us.
