Budget till HG filmen är 60 miljoner dollar

I EW har det nu skrivits om budgeten för Hunger Games filmen, och det sägs att det är 60 miljoner dollar!

Kickstarting a movie franchise based on a bestselling book series is tricky business. For every Harry Potter, there’s an Eragon (and a Percy Jackson, and a Series of Unfortunate Events). The filmed version of The Golden Compass cost close to $200 million — a huge expenditure that didn’t pay off. It looks like the makers of the upcoming Hunger Games movie are taking a slightly more conservative approach: according to a report on the Baseline Intel blog from the American Film Market, the film will have a budget of roughly $60 million. That’s about $20 million more than the budget of the first Twilight, but hey, the first Twilight didn’t feature a lavish future metropolis. Do you think it’s enough?

Gary Ross är snart officiell Hunger Games regissör!

Det är nästan säkert att Gary Ross ska regissera Hunger Games filmen! Så sjukt roligt att saker är på gång!!!

Technically, it's not official yet -- but Gary Ross is almost a done deal to direct The Hunger Games movie adaptation.

According to Variety, Ross is in final talks with Lionsgate to help the adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best-selling novel. Ross appeared this week at the American Film Market (AMF) conference on behalf of Lionsgate to help promote the upcoming Hunger Games project.

Ross has been the rumored front-runner for the job for several weeks now. Collins herself even called him "the one" when asked about a director for The Hunger Games.

At last word, producers were hoping to begin production on The Hunger Games movie in early 2011 -- with a theatrical release in 2012. Collins wrote the screenplay, which was later polished by veteran screenwriter Billy Ray.

Dreamcast: Cinna

Cinna är Katniss stylist, det är han som "skapar" hennes smeknamn - The girl on fire. Cinna ser rätt vanlig ut om man jämnför med annat folk från huvudstaden. Det enda han har är guldig eyeliner som framhäver hans ögon. Det står också i boken att han är brunhårig!

Vad tycker ni om Ian Harding som Cinna i filmen? Vi tycker att han passar perfekt! Ian Harding har bland annat varit med i Pretty Little Liars där han spelar läraren Ezra Fitz!

Kaya Scodelario, Lyndsy Fonseca eller Chloe Moretz?

Ständiga spekulationer om vem som ska spela Katniss! Entertainment Weekly har skrivit om tre omtalade skådisar som många önskar. Det som dock inte stämmer i artikeln är att Kaya har påståtts ha läst manuset, vilket bara var ett missförstånd.

Who will play the girl on fire? It’s still early in the casting process for the upcoming movie adaptation of The Hunger Games, but there are already some names popping up in connection with the much-desired lead role of Katniss Everdeen. The heavily fan-toutedSkins actress Kaya Scodelario apparently tweeted yesterday that she had received “a certain script for a film based on a book,” referring to the Suzanne Collins-penned screenplay. The tweets were later deleted, but a screen capture can be found here. Additionally, Lyndsy Fonseca of Kick-Ass and Nikita told NextMovie at New York Comic Con that she was also sent the script. Not to toot our own Magic 8-Ball—it usually just says “Ask Again Later”—but this means that for now it’s basically EW’s pick vs. EW readers’ pick.

Except…there are rumors abounding that Fonseca’s Kick-Ass co-star Chloe Moretz is lobbying for the part as well, which puts the age range of our potential Katnisses from 13 all the way to 23. Clearly there’s still a ways to go before we find out definitively who will be notching her first arrow as The Hunger Games heroine, but what do you think of the options so far? Is Moretz too young? Fonseca too old? Scodelario too just right? All three are hoping the odds will be ever in their favor, but there can only be one Katniss Everdeen. Who gets your vote?

Kaya Scodelario har INTE manuset.

Trots tidigare rykten visar det sig nu att Kaya inte har fått manuset, hon har inte heller läst det. Men både Kaya och hennes medarbetare är väldigt glada över all support från fans som vill att hon ska spela Katniss! :)

Kaya Scoldelario har manuset och tackar fansen!

Även Kaya Scoldelario har fått manuset av Hunger Games filmen, och via twitter tackar hon fansen som har uppmärksammat henne som förslag. Hon säger att hon gillar det, men det låter som att hon inte tror hon kommer få rollen. Hon har varit en stor favorit hos fansen sedan start, men vi får se hur det blir!

"Han är den rätta"

Collins tycker att Gary Ross skulle passa perfekt som regissör för Hungergames filmen efter att ha pratat med honom i telefon.

"Suzanne said she thought Gary Ross (rumored to be the likely director for The Hunger Games) was a great guy after having had a phone conversation with him. She also said from the indications she’s been receiving from Lionsgate and the producers, he’s “the one.”
Thus far, Suzanne said she has submitted two draft screenplays to Lionsgate, and they also have a screenwriter (Billy Ray) working on rewrites. She also said that since she wrote the books, she’d prefer to let someone else do the screenplay! However, she’s been very involved in the whole process, and they are working hard to be true to the book, although its extremely hard to condense nearly 400 pages into 2 hours of film."

Gary Ross kanske regisserar Hunger Games filmen

Det har kommit nyheter från Deadline om regissörvalet till filmatiseringen av The Hunger Games. I artikeln låter det som om Gary Ross är den som ska regissera, men vi får väl se snart!

Gary Ross is in early talks to direct The Hunger Games, the first installment of the novel trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The film is a joint production between Lionsgate and Color Force’s Nina Jacobson. Filming will start next year with a script by Billy Ray, who rewrote a draft by the author. The huge sales of the trilogy make the film adaptations a potential game-changer for Lionsgate, the way that Twilight was for Summit Entertainment. It has been a coveted job among directors (Three More Directors Circle ‘The Hunger Games’), and Lionsgate picture chief Joe Drake and Jacobson spent the past two weeks meeting candidates that included Sam Mendes, David Slade (also a contender for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2 job), Andrew Adamson, Rupert Sanders, and Nanny McPhee Returns helmer Susanna White. There was also talk about Francis Lawrence. It’s unclear who stayed in or out as Lionsgate focused on Ross, who directed Pleasantville and Seabiscuit. He isn’t set yet, but he is the choice. Let the negotiating games begin. Mendes, for instance, bowed out of contention last Friday, and I’m told it was because the MGM picture is clearing up and it looks like production on 007 could begin by late summer or early fall, 2011 with Mendes at the helm and Daniel Craig back in the Aston Martin.

Hunger Games till film 2012

Hunger Games filmen skulle komma ut hösten 2011 enligt tidigare information. Det var något missförstånd med imdb som påstod att premiärdatumet var någon gång under 2013. Nu har Color Force sagt att Hunger Games bör vara klar att visas på duken 2012. 

This still isn't set but the movie will likely be released in 2012.

Tre alternativ som regissörer av Hunger Games!

Filmnyheter från mockingjay.net!

The next big film directing job in Hollywood will be decided late next week,. That’s when Lionsgate chooses a filmmaker for The Hunger Games, the first installment of a trilogy based on the Suzanne Collins novel series that many feel could be the next Twilight. I’m told that Lionsgate has gotten Billy Ray’s rewrite, and will meet with three elite directors next week before making a decision. Gary Ross, Sam Mendes and David Slade have emerged as the favorites. The script has become one of those closely guarded documents which do not leave the production company’s headquarters. I’ve also heard Andrew Adamson’s name in the mix, but it appears to be down to the three I mentioned.

Gary Ross regisserade Pleasantville 1998, och har producerat en del sen dess.

Sam Mendes har regisserat bla Revolutionary road.

David Slade är nog min personliga favorit, och han regisserade The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Vi tror verkligen han skulle kunna göra ett bra jobb med Hunger Games!

Som jag har fattat det väljer de regissör nu i veckan! Så roligt att det närmar sig! Har ni sett något av regissörerna, och vem tror ni skulle kunna göra HG bäst?

Producent Nina Jacobson pratar om Hunger Games filmen

The Daily Beast har en ny artikel med producenten till HG-filmen, Nina Jacobson. De pratar lite om vilken ålder filmen ska anpassas till, och vi får även veta att de söker en regissör för tillfället. Detta kommer nog bli spännande att följa!

The difficulty in translating the book to film is apparent; both Jacobson and Lionsgate say the movie will be made for the book’s 12- to 18-year-old core audience, and as such they want a PG-13 rating. Scholastic Press editorial director David Levithan recalled his hesitation to the premise. “Oooh, that sounds brutal,” he remembered thinking. “I will fully admit that many of us, just based on the summary, thought this was going to be quite a challenge. Not just for us, but for Suzanne.”

“That was really our pitch to Suzanne—You don’t want the movie to become its own version of The Hunger Games,” she continued.

Collins wrote a draft of the screenplay, and Billy Ray, who wrote State of Play and is set to adapt the Fox action drama 24 into a feature, completed a polish. Producers are now searching for a director.

All involved agree that the film should play to older crowds but “should absolutely be rated PG-13,” Jacobson said. “It would be wrong to make the R-rated version of it.”

“The situations are so intense and frightening; it’s just going to be a matter of creating suspense,” she said. “The power of movies can be just as much about what you don’t see as what you do.”
