Gary Ross interview

In an interview with PARADE director of sci-fi thriller "Hunger Games" Gary Ross talking about how important it was for him in the film, to remain faithful to the novel.
- Do you think that is why the book series "The Hunger Games" are so successful?
"Human quality of Katniss attracts people. This girl is fighting for survival and finds something, for what is ready to give her life. The world is full of impermanence. Face an uncertain future in an attempt to save themselves is what makes you a man, to unite the efforts with like-minded people and the struggle for common values - are very positive and encouraging message. "
- How closely did you work with the author of "Hunger Games" Suzanne Collins?
"We had a wonderful working relationship. I wrote a draft script, which she read and approved. She came to Los Angeles to discuss it. Suzanne has been so wonderful, exciting idea that before I realized that happens, we've worked together. "
- What was the most difficult in the film adaptation of the book?
"Watching a movie, people should experience the same feelings that they have encountered while reading the book, this dynamic first-person narrative. I spent a lot of time thinking about what it really means a story from a person hero. I realized that it was reduced to a limited amount of information, which he owns. I made a film so that we could move along a winding path, along with Katniss, and just as she was unsure of everything that surrounds us. "
- What about the cruelty that exists in the book?
"I do not think we've mitigated some of the tense moments. One of the nuances of the story from a person Katniss is that you do not need to dwell on the brutal massacre in order to convey the horror. I do not think that the story would have benefited if we showed a bloodbath. "
- Are you worried about the reaction of fans of the book in your film?
"Not really. We have remained faithful to both the story and its emotional component. Suzanne was pleased with the film and, therefore, pleased with myself. First of all - I'm a fan of the novel "The Hunger Games", and then director. I would like to pay tribute to the books by the movie and give you the same sensations that you experience when reading a novel. I am sure that we got it. So, no, I do not worry, I'm excited. "
Interview with Paul V. Anderson

During the exhibition WonderCon 2012 director Paul V. Anderson gave an interview to Shock Till You Drop, which shared the details relating to his project, "Resident Evil 5."
- At what stage of the project are you right now?
"Stuck firmly in the mounting, mount the director's cut”.
- By the way, the trailer is good. It is surprising that it came so early.
"Well, we talked about it during the filming. We wanted to provide a teaser as a statement of intent - we come to the creation of the film globally. I thought that if we're going to do another" Resident Evil ", we must raise the bar and zoom in. I wanted to make the first truly epic film about zombies, epic post-apocalyptic movie, and we got it. "
- Footage that we saw in the teaser was filmed specifically for it and the film will not be included?
"All the footage from the film, except the people standing with the production of Sony's hands (laughs). Nevertheless, I love them because they all have the right to be eaten alive."
- Hence, an excerpt from the White House and those flying creatures ...
"They are from the "Resident Evil 5." The concept of "Raising the Bar" meant the creation of creatures and zombies a level that they become a big problem for our heroes. I realized that the superiority of mankind feels too long. For example, if you could get to the helicopter and take off - you're safe, no one before you do not get. But now it is not, because we use these cool parasitic creatures from video game "Resident Evil 5." In the scene with the White House, they break the big helicopters in the sky. Plus we still have Las Plagas parasite from the video game "Resident Evil 4", which is an infection - people want to eat you - but now they have the motor skills and they have some intelligence. They can go on motorcycles and shot with automatic weapons. All this makes survival more problematic. "
- Since we are talking about increasing the scale, does this mean that we will see how things are going in those who survived in the world? Previously, the emphasis was on Alice and her team ...
"Yes, to achieve the epic, we have added international locations: in addition to the destroyed Capitol building in Washington, we see Times Square, Red Square, Tokyo ..."
- Over time, you realize how much franchise has evolved. One can only speculate on how long you waited for a chance to get a free hand in the study of the universe.
"You dream, and dreams take on reality. I'm incredibly proud of this franchise. When you start with a modest project, funded by, and finish a billionth of a horror franchise ... develop, which takes place in one room, up to a film of epic proportions - it's very nice. I'm a big fan of the "Alien" and when you watch the first two films - Ridley Scott and James Cameron - you know that they are a perfect example of the proper development of franchise. How Cameron has joined the game after Ridley with his claustrophobic film, it was very clever, because the second lift of the "Alien" Cameron could not do. So he made his own film - scary, with all imaginable elements of a good action. It's always served me a lesson, and it is this lesson I want to bring to life now. Allow myself to develop and evolve, save the familiar elements of the fans, but also brought something new. "
- Using the example of "Alien" you are talking about two different directors. As for your movies, especially the fourth and fifth, we're talking about a director who is putting pressure on himself and raises the bar for himself. It must be hard...
"Yes, definitely. I spent a lot of time thinking about it. Clip, which we show at the exhibition, includes a scene in the corridors of the Corporation Umbrella - we stayed so long in the corridors. In metallic corridors, hallways, made of certain materials. What changes do we bring? Production Design in the fifth part of the show is not the world. It's beautiful. We have developed a special design of the glass, they create a unique visual effect - as if lit from within. Light passes through the floor, walls and ceiling. Hard and white. But just beginning to shed blood, you get the color red on a white floor, and Milla in black. This is a graphic, a fresh look. Definitely it is a "Resident Evil". We have Milla, zombie, there is the logo of the Corporation Umbrella, but in this form it has not appeared in the films of the franchise. "

I'm really looking forward to when we start working on the project of Brad Pitt "True Story", in which we, with James Franco will play the main roles. And I plan to play in a movie with all my old school pals - Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, and Danny McBride and Craig Robinson, James Franco and over again. It's called "Apocalypse."
