'Hunger Games' Director Unpacks VMA Footage

[sunni_sideup]

Gary Ross says Jennifer Lawrence will help him give viewers the same 'visceral experience' as the books.

While the "Hunger Games" sneak peek lit up the MTV Video Music Awards, on Sunday, director Gary Ross was back in North Carolina, his head space not so much occupied with Lady Gaga in drag and Lil Wayne's long dreads as it was with Katniss

Hm. I had kind of assumed that the Gale voiceover was mainly just something they did for the trailer, but this interview makes it seem like she'll definitely be having some Gale flashbacks in the arena. That's probably a good way to keep it balanced, and of course, that's another way of getting into Katniss' head without just a voiceover of her thought process.

AAAAA, I'm so excited to see the rest of the cast, though! :D

I agree but I'm scared they'll try to use it as a way to hype the ~triangle. Ugh, it'll irk me so much if they do but I have faith in GR.

I love it. It's a good, solid explanation, and basically, if the director can truely back up what they went with in treatment and style, I'm good.

Wait till you see Stanley Tucci do Caesar Flickerman.
I have been DYING to see Stanley Tucci as Caesar! (I would have loved him as Cinna, but whatever).

idk, I thought they were pretty much paraphrased lines from the scenes where he tells Katniss goodbye/is telling her she knows how to hunt and that gives her a chance?

I liked the Gale voice over. I think it helped us get inside Katniss' head. *shrug*

Anyway, Gary seems really excited and into this movie and that makes me happy and hopeful.
