Gary Ross är officiell regissör för Hunger Games filmen

Nu är det officiellt! Gary Ross kommer att regissera HG filmen! I EW pratar han en del om vem de vill ska spela Katniss, och de verkar överrens om att de inte vill ha någon som redan är känd. De frågar även om rollen för bl.a. Haymitch, och Ross lovar att vi får veta snart! Spännande!

The rumors are true. Director Gary Ross (Seabiscuit, Pleasantville) will direct the Lionsgate adaptation of The Hunger Games, the first installment of Suzanne Collins’ brilliantly urgent dystopian trilogy. In his first conversation anywhere about the film, which Lionsgate told EW will likely go into production in the late spring of 2011, Ross was funny, passionate, and sounded as deeply impressed and moved by heroine Katniss Everdeen as the trilogy’s ardent fans.

Ross revealed that he hadn’t yet met with any actresses but would begin those conversations shortly. Admirers of Katniss, District 12′s dark and resilient “Tribute,” can rest assured that the director won’t dumb the character down or cutesy her up for the movie. “I’ve talked to Suzanne extensively and I feel like I understand the character really, really well,” he said. “I feel like I know who that girl needs to be.”

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?

Delta i diskussionen: Hur hittade du HG böckerna?

Hur hittade du böckerna från början? Delta i diskussionen på Mockingjay.net!

I thought it would be fun to see how everyone found out about the books! Did you get a recommendation from a friend, find them via our website, randomly pick it up in a bookstore, or discover it in an entirely different way? We want to hear your stories!

David Slade tror på filmen!

Having been so immersed in this [Twilight] world, do you have a good sense of what makes a series this sticky? Can you predict the Next Big Thing for this audience?

“Hunger Games” is probably going to be huge. I was actually very interested in directing the film of that. I met with Lionsgate to talk about it, but it didn’t work out.

I’m a big, big fan, a big supporter of fan subcultures. I think they make things bigger than they are and they allow younger people — sometimes older people– to interact in positive ways …they’re good things in society, while there are a lot of bad things in society. And the things that drive great successes are things that people just identify with.

Since there’s obviously a precedent for switching directors with every movie in a franchise, we’d like to officially throw our support your way for the “Hunger Games” sequel.
Aw, well. Let’s see how things go. Who knows. I was in talks early on with “Hunger Games” but it didn’t go and I moved on to the next thing. I don’t tend to attach myself to a lot of things — I generally kind of pursue something to the point at which it becomes a reality, then I start talking about it. I’m very close — but there are four things and they’re all very, very different.

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: Dakota Fanning som Madge

Enda sedan jag läste Hungerspelen har jag sett Dakota Fanning som Madge. Hon är blond, är i rätt ålder, och jag tror verkligen Dakota skulle spela henne bra. Kan verkligen föreställa mig Madge ha de ansiktsdragen och allt. Vad tror ni?
