In a farewell address to staff of the studio Ross said:
"I have always said that our success is created and developed by people with whom we work, and I think they are the best in the business. However, the best people should be in their places on the roles that they carry away, they need to do a job that uses the full range of their abilities. This is one of the management lessons I received in my career.
I believe in the outstanding team of Walt Disney Studios, and I believe in our strong list of projects in our ability to capture and promote the film better than anyone else. But I do not believe that the role of head of the studio is for me. For this reason I have decided to resign as chairman. "
In turn, the CEO of Disney, Bob Iger, who sent Ross to retire on Friday released an open letter, paid tribute to the now former president of the studio:
"More than ten years of creativity, business acumen and personal qualities Rich Ross possible to achieve results key business areas Disney, to succeed in the field of children's and family entertainment, as well as run the franchise, which represent great value for our company. His vision and leadership opened the door for Disney around the world, making our brand a part of everyday life for millions of people. "
Ross joined the company in 1996 and most of his career within the corporation devoted to developing and supervising the television areas of his activity, becoming in 2004 the head of the network of Disney Channels. That he is credited with launching such successful projects like "Hannah Montana" with Miley Cyrus and "Lizzie Maguire" with Hilary Duff, as well as franchise "High School Musical", Zac Efron glorified. Even as Head Studios, Rich Ross, which won in 2009, he achieved an agreement on co-production with China, which is now one of the fastest growing film markets in the world.
At the same time during the work of Ross in the studio of the company suffered heavy losses, losing considerable sums on the "Prince of Persia," "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and, of course, "John Carter". Team Disney has lost faith in his boss.
"He could not overcome the transition period. He grabbed the trappings of work, but not its specificity. We all saw how stupid he admitted mistakes, focusing on such things as parties and celebrities that were not really matter. People who had to deal with our company in the movie business, complained that it is difficult to work with him "- quoted one of his sources edition of Deadline. Moreover, among the most ardent detractors were Ross Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter, creative director of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios, John Lasseter, director Steven Spielberg and producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
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. "

Jonah Hill: I would organize a drama group. Perhaps I would find like-minded people, and although all of my present friends - school, while I'm embarrassed that they will laugh at me if I'll make theater. And probably I would have met a really good girl because she would have liked that I'm so sensitive.
Channing Tatum: I think I would have done some things differently, but only on condition that all turned out to exactly how it happened. I am satisfied with the current state of affairs. And really regret not having listened to what I was told in school. I always sat in the head by one thought: "I do not understand why I do this or that. I do not know how I will use this knowledge in my future life."

Jonah Hill: We are asking all the time, we were friends at school, because our screen heroes do not play well. I think we would have been best friends. We are from different places, but have a very similar perception of the laws of friendship. I rarely like to talk with someone so closely as to this guy. We are constantly hangover together. Last night I caught myself thinking: "I missed Channing. We have not seen for several hours." We live in the same hotel, and I wanted to know what he was doing at the moment!
- How does the school, "title" you would have awarded each other?
Jonah Hill: I think "best athlete" or anything else related to sports.
Channing Tatum: Do you know how to be "The best around"? Ask John.
- John, how did nomination for the award "Oscar" for the film "Moneyball" affect your career?
Jonah Hill: I finally got the glory of my family! I noticed that I began to offer roles in different genres, not just in the comedy. And I have this insanely rad. 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."
- What do you both enjoy doing on weekends?
Channing Tatum: I love to sleep. On Sundays I generally do not do anything but just sit and play with my dog. Our house has a small patio, so we're sitting, lying, sleep there.
Jonah Hill: Watch movies, lying in bed - that's my dream!
Composer Hans Zimmer about his new project

Composer Hans Zimmer does not like to repeat, especially when working on the sequels. So he promises to come up with something new for "The Dark Knight 2: The Legend Continues", one of the most anticipated projects of summer 2012.
For a film by Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight 2" Hans Zimmer has designed musical score, based on the sounds of crowds, he suggested that people all over the world send him to record his vote, which he uses to create the soundtrack.
"It seemed like a good idea - have a part of monotone scores discordant tune. So, I thought," But what I will make hundreds of thousands of people do this? "And then we have organized a Web site in Germany, which sent wishing to record their votes. Success rather curious. "
"You have to watch the sequel as a completely independent film. Before I started," Sherlock Holmes "and before Chris started shooting, I conceived the idea. I went to the music department of Warner Bros. And asked:" I have already had the right to order a couple of days the biggest, most insane band in order to conduct an experiment for "Dark Knight"? If everything goes right, if the result does not like me or Chris, we will pretend that these two days and was not at all. "
"I had the idea to write music, or in any other way to get the orchestra to play differently. And, in general, it is possible, and the passages of our experiment began to appear in the trailer. In my possession are 25 minutes, very radical, very unlike anything that the material. There were two excellent points. First, when Chris came to the recording studio and has welcomed and appreciated what I was doing there. A second point that I am, in a sense, think cooler is the fact that the musicians had never before worked in this way, this experience very much. And months later, when I was working on "Sherlock", the band is still remembered those two days. So I know I'm on the right track. However, my only enemy right now - this time because I have too many ideas. "
"As for Chris, we always talk about him the same thing:" He's so secretive. "Well, I think this has two main reasons. First, in order to get a really good result, you should remain with yourself. And if all you are watching via the Internet, I think it interferes with creativity. And I think "The Dark Knight" - a perfect example that demonstrates this idea. All know that we are making a film about Batman. But as long as it went into the rolling, one could not imagine what it would be, this new film about Batman. "

"I was shocked. I bow to those who appreciated my work."
- A meeting with what celebrity has made the greatest impression on you?

And I'll probably looked like a maniac persecuted him . Yes, he and Oprah Winfrey. They both. Oprah changed my vision of what I become, and Steven had a tremendous influence on my acting skills. I think he is the best. And the fact that I was given a chance to appear in the film to his studio and talk to him, makes me ceaselessly repeating, "Oh, my God!"

Each family had their pets with whom they spent all the time, but together we are very close. "

Interview with Jonathan Liebesman

Director of "Titans Wrath" Jonathan Liebesman in an interview with resource Hero Complex spoke about the project.
Why did you decide to do this project?
"I'm a big fan of epic films, created the world where you can escape to enjoy the spectacle and experience the fear of the gods and monsters. Proposal to create a world in "Titans Wrath" was just what we needed. I just finished "Alien invasion: The Battle in Los Angeles" and I liked the scale of the story and thrilling adventure that studio Warner bros. wanted to present to the fans of the franchise in terms of clever special effects with creatures and epic adventure point of view of the protagonist. Ultimately, we would take the whole spectacle and awe, which is full of Greek mythology, and give it a more down to earth, one might say, the human factor. Greeks created brilliant images of typical characters, which we could introduce our story to create a richer world. "
Can you tell us a little about those monsters, which we will see? Which one is your favorite? What - the worst?
"We are fortunate that the material for "Titans Wrath” was originally a very rich and epic. We have allowed ourselves the luxury of finding the most incredible aspects of Greek mythology, terrible monsters, which we are woven into the narrative of traditional myths. I am - a big fan of Makhai, an evil warrior demon consisting of two fallen souls from the underworld, which were put together and forced to fight as a single entity for immortality. We came up a few tricks, playing with their unusual appearance. "
You have on-site solid star. As you work with Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy, Sam Worthington?
"This is a great success - to work with the actors of this caliber. They all put their lives in the images of their characters, and monitor their performance on the court - similar to a lesson on the film industry. Our entire cast was infinitely generous in their game, and we were completely open in matters of discussion and collaboration. When you're faced with so much talent, they are actors, you really trust their instincts and unconditionally accept their ideas. For me, "Schindler's List" - a very important film, and the fact that Liam and Ralph took part in some our scene - simply amazing.”
What do you have borrowed from the first movie and what decided not to take?
"We are grateful to the creators of "Clash of the Titans" for the construction of the narrative, the world and the characters who inhabit it, were created, and we were allowed to take them all and continue the story. We would like to add realism to what happens to the characters. It was very important to us. Sam put all his efforts to achieve this goal. We have reviewed a large number of Westerns, and some of the films of Akira Kurosawa, to adventures of Perseus looked real. When Perseus beat the monsters, he can not feel pain. He was not a superhero. He - the guy with all his might trying to stay alive himself and save his family. It is - completely normal life situation against the backdrop of a magical world, and I think that it will give her confidence in the realism of the events in our history. "
Do you think that the work in the "Titans Wrath" has added experience to your piggy bank as a director?
"I think every film that you shoot, gives you a new understanding of many aspects of filmmaking. I was given the chance to work with Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez in" Battle of Los Angeles, "and they taught me a lot with regard to excellent acting. And the experience of working on the creation of the alien in the same project was useful to me when we came up with the monsters for "Wrath ...". I do not think we ever stop learning - main secret is to find a project to become obsessed with them, to surround a like-minded people and create a peace with them, about which you dream. "

The director of "Star Wars" George Lucas answered questions about the stereo Episode I - "Phantom Menace".
Has the stereo "Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace" undergone some changes with regard to characters or plot? Or was it the usual conversion to 3D format?
"There is nothing unusual in changes, because most re-issued films contain them. But for some reason, when I decide to change things a bit, everyone thinks that is the end of the world. These eternal dispute between the filmmaker and the studio because the studio can make any changes to the film, not even putting in a famous film director ... My job is to make a film as good as possible, and now this the best film of Blu-ray-version. That it was done in 3D. But it was just a conversion. We have not changed anything, just the format. "
People can be ridiculously fanatical when it comes to their favorite films. What do you think about this?
"Well, it's not a religious event. I hate to explain it. This movie is just a movie. Question of who fired first in Episode IV - Han Solo or Greedo - I wanted to clarify a long time, but that's just upset the fans, because they wanted it to be a solo, cold-blooded killer (as it seemed in the original film). In fact, it is not. Just scene was filmed in close-up, and it was unclear who fired first. Now I've slightly expanded the frame, and it became evident that the first was Greedo. But still want to believe that Khan was first pulled the trigger. "
"It's the same with Yoda. We tried to make it in the CGI-image in Episode I, but we have not met in time. Technology has not been worked out, so we had to use a doll, which, of course, inferior in quality CGI-image. Therefore, when preparing to re-issue, we replaced the dummy CGI-way as originally planned. "
"Pay attention to the" Blade Runner "- it was cut 16 times, and there are many versions of this film. In" Star Wars "an original version, just with the progress we will improve it a little ... All art - it is technology, and they go forward each year. And on the set, and in music, painting is the improvement and development of new methods and ways. And because the movie - the process of technological, improved methods of production is more than obvious. "
What is the status of "Indiana Jones 5"? Steven Spielberg says that awaits your decision.
"I know, and it is assumed that I was working on it right now, but instead, I chat with you (laughs)."
