Lionsgate Wants Gary Ross, Slumdog Writer for Hunger Games Sequel Catching Fire

The jury’s still out as far as I’m concerned on whether or not director Gary Ross (Seabiscuit) was the right director to helm Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games, even with the mostly-satisfying first trailer debut earlier this week. Lionsgate, however, seems more confident in Ross, as they want him to return to helm the second Hunger Games installment, 2013’s Catching Fire, with writer Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours) reportedly in the running to script. From Deadline: I’m told that Gary Ross, who directed The Hunger Games, is coming back for the sequel. He originally intended to write the outline for the second film and script it with author Suzanne Collins (they teamed to do a lot of writing on the first film), but the post production schedule on The Hunger Games has made that difficult. The highly anticipated trailer debut on Monday revealed a solid visual sense for the world inhabited by teenage heroine Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), a working class girl in a future dystopia who winds up competing in a televised death match against 23 other youngsters. The trailer teased the events leading up to said Hunger Games and showed fans of Collins’ novel glimpses of the characters they know well, including Katniss, Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), Gale (Liam Hemsworth), and Cinna (Lenny Kravitz). What remains to be seen is if Ross and Co. capture the internal drama within Katniss as she begins to navigate the worlds of politics, love, and responsibility while trying to stay alive, not to mention how well Ross is able to evoke a sense of real danger and brutal violence in his tween and teen-oriented adventure. A more daring director would have been my preference — say Joe Wright, building off of the visceral action and style he lent to Hanna earlier this year — but Ross might be just safe enough to help make this the next MTV-safe franchise, a la Twilight. The Hunger Games as a story sets up the world of Panem and the inciting annual battle royale, but Catching Fire, the first of two sequels, expands Katniss’s world so much, and in such specific ways, that scripting it both for an established audience and for non-readers will be a trickier job. So while Collins adapting her own novel for the first film is a boon in many ways (a vote of confidence in the project, insurance against taking too much creative license or deviating from the material), it might take someone with more of a cinematic bent to translate the plot turns of Catching Fire to the screen. Is Beaufoy the right writer for the job? I don’t see why not; he’s notched solid films thus far, even if, as with Ross, there’s nothing in his resume that suggests he’s a particularly good match for a dystopian action adventure about a lethal teenage girl. Of course, Beaufoy’s Oscar statuette (and two additional writing nods) would give the Lionsgate series an added sheen of Oscar cred on top of Ross’s three nominations, so there’s that.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking DawnPart 1: Film Review

Large unpredicted unexpected things happen in this penultimate Twilight entry: Bella and Edward got married, she'll conceive around the Brazilian honeymoon and almost perishes before getting an infant, and finally, after four films adding to 490 minutes of screen time showing being applied desire and superhuman restraint, she energizes while using red-colored-colored eyes from the vampire. (Spoiler? Hardly.) But so hardly anything else happens between these momentous occasions in Twilight: Breaking Beginning - Part 1 you could practically hear every second ticking by while awaiting the payback. Much less this could matter for the faithful who've devoured all 754 pages of Stephenie Meyer's series-climaxing tome and also see whenever possible re-created on the watch's screen, nor to people who've paid out greater than $1.8 billion worldwide to look for the prior three obligations in theaters, the majority of whom will hurry to find out that certain as rapidly as you possibly can.

According to Breaking Beginning - Part 1, though, the identical can not be mentioned from the series ender, which feels as bloated and anemic as Bella becomes throughout having a baby. The film is kind of a crab cake with three or four products of crab ornamented by plenty of bland stuffing, however, many can't differentiate or don't care, which will largely be true due to its captive audience. Happening in the lovely woodsy setting that might be easily the next estate in the marriage-reception site in Lars von Trier's Melancholia, the marriage of Edwards Friend Jacob (Billy Burke) along with a Vampire Named Edward (Rachelle Lefervre) can plausibly be known as the "wedding in the century" only meaning Edward means it when he notifies his 18-year-old bride, "I've been waiting 100 years to marry you." Drawn to last nearly half-hour onscreen, the gaiety in the preliminaries and ensuing event is encumbered having a strong sense of foreboding, not only because the world is going to an finish, just like Melancholia, but furthermore because it means Bella will rapidly pass over from human existence for the vampire side.

Where one legitimately hopes to link up what Bella feels upon finally giving herself as to the she's this type of very long time preferred but opposed, all we have are languid and poor interludes from the products still seems like puppy love. Very lame, and extremely disappointing. At in regards to the film's half way point, Bella finds she's all of a sudden pregnant, compelling a quick return home.

PBS United kingdom Launches On BSkyB, Virgin Media

The U.S. Public Broadcasting Service, lengthy an importer of British fare, will endeavour to come back the favor beginning Tuesday using the launch of PBS United kingdom, the Wall Street Journal reviews. The selection includes U.S. flagship shows PBS News Hour and Frontline, the science series Nova, the U.S. version of Antiques Roadshow (format imported from Britain), and documentaries from director Ken Burns, whose Prohibition (pictured) will air on Day 1. It’s PBS’ initial foreign foray because the service was founded a lot more than 4 decades ago. PBS United kingdom will air on Britain’s two greatest pay-TV platforms, British Sky Broadcasting andVirgin Media Corporation. It will likely be open to about 14 million audiences, roughly half the nation’s TV audience. PBS is late towards the party since it doesn’t have lots of money. U.S. commercial systems for example MTV, Nickelodeon, Discovery and CBS will be in the U.K. for a long time. “The main concern is to buy our content for an audience which i know has an interest within the work we produce,” stated PBS leader Paula Kerger. The push for PBS to mix the Atlantic came from having a request from David Lyons, founding father of Quadra Group. He requested the plan to launch a U.K. funnel while he would be a longtime viewer of KSPS-TV, the PBS affiliate in Spokane, Clean., and respected the programming. “It’s one of the main lights of yankee culture,” stated Lyons, a Canadian businessman residing in England and keen on PBS News Hour. Quadra and PBS Distribution would be the joint proprietors of PBS United kingdom, which unlike PBS in america will run advertisements. Quadra has invested huge amount of money to produce the U.K. funnel. PBS Distribution set up the privileges towards the programs.
