Suzanne Collins på "Children's Choice Book Awards"
Igår kväll var Suzanne på Children's choice book awards. Mockingjay var nominerad som favoritbok och Suzanne som favorit författare. Tyvärr så vann inte någon av dem.
Scholastic's Tracy van Straaten twittrade denna bild av Suzanne med författaren Rick Riordan på galan.
Intervju med Suzanne Collins
The New York Times har en bra ny intervju med Suzanne Collins. Intervjun inkluderar saker som; hennes bakgrund, påverkan av krig och teman i The Hunger Games trilogin, skrivning av The Underland Chronicles och mycket mer.
On bring The Hunger Games to the big screen:
“Battle Royale” does present an interesting precedent in one respect. When it was adapted into a film in Japan in 2000, politicians denounced its gory youth-on-youth violence, even as the Japanese film academy nominated it for nearly every prestigious award. The makers of the “Hunger Games” movie hope to avoid a similar controversy. The director, Gary Ross, has pledged that it will be safe for viewers as young as 12. But it is one thing to depict bloodshed on paper, another to do so on film. Collins was enlisted to write the original script. Ross, whose films include “Big” and “Pleasantville,” completed the final treatment, consulting heavily with Collins. In February, she flew out to Los Angeles to discuss sets, costumes and changes to the script.
Suzanne Collins pratar om Jennifer
EW har postat detta uttalande från Suzanne Collins om castingen av Jennifer Lawrence som Katniss i The Hunger Games filmen:
Dear Readers,
We have found Katniss.
As the author, I went into the casting process with a certain degree of trepidation. Believing your heroine can make the leap from the relative safety of the page to the flesh and bones reality of the screen is something of a creative act of faith. But after watching dozens of auditions by a group of very fine young actresses, I felt there was only one who truly captured the character I wrote in the book. And I’m thrilled to say that Jennifer Lawrence has accepted the role.
In her remarkable audition piece, I watched Jennifer embody every essential quality necessary to play Katniss. I saw a girl who has the potential rage to send an arrow into the Gamemakers and the protectiveness to make Rue her ally. Who has conquered both Peeta and Gale’s hearts even though she’s done her best to wall herself off emotionally from anything that would lead to romance. Most of all, I believed that this was a girl who could hold out that handful of berries and incite the beaten down districts of Panem to rebel. I think that was the essential question for me. Could she believably inspire a rebellion? Did she project the strength, defiance and intellect you would need to follow her into certain war? For me, she did.
Jennifer’s just an incredible actress. So powerful, vulnerable, beautiful, unforgiving and brave. I never thought we’d find somebody this amazing for the role. And I can’t wait for everyone to see her play it.
Thank you all for sharing in this journey and may the odds be ever in your favor!
Love,
Suzanne Collins
Att Suzanne tycker hon passar gör mig lite mindre orolig men jag fortfarande ganska osäker. Vad tycker ni?
