Julianne Moore in talks for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay

Actress Julianne Moore is in talks to join the star-studded cast of The Hunger Games for the final two films in the movie franchise.

The Oscar nominee is reportedly being courted by director Francis Lawrence to portray manipulative President Alma Coin in the big screen adaptation of author Suzanne Collins' Mockingjay novel, which is to be split into two movies, reports Deadline.com.

If the Hannibal star signs on for the project, she will work alongside Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, while Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland and Philip Seymour Hoffman are also part of the action adventure series.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second film in the franchise, is set to open in November (13), while The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is due to hit theatres in 2014.
