EW: Are you already hearing from kids who are afraid you’re going to screw up their favorite book?
Ross: [Laughs] I just received 150 letters from the Frenship Middle School near Lubbock, Texas. The reading-program teacher got them to all write me letters. So many of them wrote, “Listen, I know this is an action movie and I can’t wait to see the action but please don’t lose the heart of the story.” The death of Rue is mentioned by every kid who reads the book. It’s funny because I realize the letters are from Lubbock, Texas, which is where Buddy Holly was from. So in a way it’s the birthplace of American teenage rebellion. Isn’t that cool?

EW: Did they give you useful advice?
Ross: A lot of them talked about “Don’t mess with the colors.” I think they didn’t want me to pump it full of contrast or desaturate the movie or make it gratuitously edgy in a visual way. I think kids are hipper to clichés than we are sometimes.

EW: How much CGI will be involved? I imagine you’ll need some for the Muttations, the book’s genetically altered creatures?
Ross: It’s funny because the Lubbock kids—back to Lubbock, I’m dying to go to this school!—also expressed how important it was for me to adequately render the Muttations. And yes, we will.
Obviously they’re one of the larger technical challenges, but they will be animated CG characters.

EW: What scene do you most look forward to shooting?
Ross: I can’t wait to shoot the firestorm from a filmmaking perspective. I can’t wait to do the relationship with Rue— both developing the relationship between Katniss and Rue and also the poignancy of Rue’s funeral. How Katniss decorates her body with flowers? I mean, it’s just so beautiful.
