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.

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.

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!
