Gary Ross Discusses Catching Fire!

In this Moviefone interview, Gary Ross talks about Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire, and Steven Soderbergh. We've included some cool parts of the interview here, *BUT BE WARNED* if you read the actual article on the Moviefone site there are MAJOR spoilers about one particular scene!

But you can feel free to read what we've put here, you'll find no spoilers in this post!

On Directing Catching Fire-
I'm attached to the next one. I'm looking forward to it. Simon Beaufoy, ["Slumdog Millionaire"] who's a writer I've been a fan of for a long, long time, is doing the script. We had great meetings with him when he was here in LA. And I'm really excited about that. I can't write the "Catching Fire" script right now because I'm finishing ["Hunger Games"], and we're on a schedule where the script has to get written right now. So I'm unbelievably fortunate that someone like Simon is going to be writing the script. That was the person I wanted to do it. One of the great things about this is that you get to work with people that you respect and you love and I think I'm at a point in my career where that's exciting for me. Would it be great to have time to write the script right now? Yeah. But I get to work with Simon Beaufoy. That's a thrill. He's somebody that I respect and I just love his work.

Casting Donald Sutherland and Elizabeth Banks-
Donald I just thought was right for the part. He and Elizabeth Banks both wrote me letters based on the book, where they said, "Listen, I think I'd be great for this part for this reason." I'd worked with Liz before [on "Seabiscuit"]. I was thinking of her already. So that was easy. But with Donald, he wrote such a compelling case for who this man was and what this kind of autocratic power did and the imposition of his kind of authority and what this sort of fascism really was, that not only did I cast him, but I ended up writing two more scenes based on that letter. It was a really amazing story because I'd already cast him, then he wrote me another letter about how he felt the character related to this world. I was shooting it in Asheville in the woods and we were by this beautiful lake. And I wandered down to the edge of the lake as I'm reading his letter on an iPad and thinking, "Wow, this is so intelligent and so sophisticated." It departed from the way he would play his character into what the nature of this power really meant. And there was a clearing by the lake and there was this one white folding chair there and I thought, "Well, that's sort of a sign I should go sit in this chair and think about this." And I did and I came up with these two scenes that are really kind of pivotal in the movie as a result of that email. That's what you want when you make a movie. You want these happy accidents and you want it to be a conversation with the people you're working with. That was kind of a sublime little moment.

Working with Suzanne Collins--
I would never give myself carte blanche to make changes. My job is to faithfully adapt something I love and to get at the essence of what I love about it. It's incredibly compelling. It's wonderfully urgent. It's the beautiful evolution of a girl into a leader as she matures under very extraordinary circumstances. So it wasn't so much about having carte blanche, but finding the most deft way to get at the essence of the story. So I wrote a draft of the script and then I sent it to Suzanne. We'd talked about it a bunch and she responded really, really favorably to the script. And then she came out to California so we could talk further and she had wonderful thoughts about it. And we started pitching back and forth and she was bringing a whole new layer in her insight because she had obviously lived with these characters a long time and before we knew it, we were working together. it wasn't like I invited her in to work on the next draft with me, it just evolved. So I said, "Well, this is crazy. You're not giving me notes, why don't we just write the next draft together?" And she said, "Great." So we locked ourselves up in a room and wrote the next draft of the script. Which was great for me, because I hadn't had a writing partner since Anne Spielberg on "Big." And I loved writing with someone again. That was a fun, special, really unique experience.

The Violence in the Film-
I think that there's a way to be as urgent and as compelling as the book is without being lurid or indulgent with the violence. If you tell the story from Katniss's point of view, which is what the job is, then you're in a perspective where you never become lurid or fetishistic about the violence. It's a horror going on around her, but that can be done in a way that is very precise and select and even sparing at times without sacrificing any of the urgency or the immediacy of it. So no, it's not done for the rating. It's pretty intense. I've had people see the movie and they said it was more intense than they even expected. But it's PG-13. It's not gratuitous in any way. It's just appropriate, I feel.

Moviefone Lists 10 (Actually 11) Moments Fans Can't Wait to See

Moviefone asked fans what they are waiting to see in the movie! Here's the list:

1. The Opening Shots
"In film adaptations, I'm always so interested in the way they introduce the set and all the people -- there just seems to be so much energy and excitement in those first few minutes." – Emily Eskelsen 

2. The Reaping
"When Katniss volunteers for Prim, and the Rue's Flowers scene!" –- Wendy Raver 

3. You're Great!
"One of my favorite scenes in the book is rather small, but it shows how much Katniss and Peeta have taken notice of each other over the years. It's when Haymitch asks if they have any skills, and they're both rather modest and then start spouting off how talented and strong the other is. It's a sweet moment I hope they show in the movie." -– Isabella A. 

4. Capitol Creatures
"I'm dying to see the muttations. A little scared, but still want to see them. Tracker jackers and mockingjays too. All the fantasy stuff. Oh and Woody Harrelson as Haymitch!" –- Julie Flory 

5. Faithful to the Source 
"First, I really want to know when they play the new song by Taylor Swift. I am hoping it is when she is placing the flowers on Rue, but probably not. I really hope they can bring to life all the cool things Collins wrote, like the dress and the characters. I want to see Peeta buried in the mud when Katniss finds him. Okay, I want it all. I really hope it stays mostly true to the book." -– Tricia Scharnberger 

6. Forever Friends
"I love Gale, so I can't wait to see him and Katniss interact in the opening hunting scene and later their big emotional goodbye after Katniss volunteers for the Games. I'm prepared to cry." -- S. Lee 

7. Sweet Memory
"However Katniss remembers or tells the story about 'The Boy with the Bread.'" -– Rocky Hadidi 

8 Woody for the Win
"Anything with Woody as Haymitch. I think that may have been the most perfectly cast part in the movie." -– Amy Oztan 

9. Romancing the Stone 
"I'm a romantic, so I can't wait to see Peeta and Katniss in the cave. I really hope they keep the 'You don't have much competition anywhere.' My shipper heart will melt!!" –- Jenn Montes 

10. Anything and Everything 
"I want to see Lenny Kravitz as Cinna! And I want to see Katniss drop the tracker jackers on the Careers. And I want to see the scene with Katniss and Thresh! I want to see it all!!!!!!!!!" -– Gana Bhandari 

Bonus Moment!
11. Just the Two of Us 
"Basically I want all the Katniss and Peeta stuff. Besides the only kiss that makes Katniss want another, I can't wait to see the pivotal berries scene toward the end, and the big moments involving Caesar Flickerman, like Peeta's pre-Games revelation about Katniss and their post-Games reunion on his show." –- Nicky Lewis
