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. "
