“ [ It was ] the first motion picture I cite when Marvel asked me what I ’d do if they gave me the [ Avengers ] book . People forget , but that movie is an hour - and - a - one-half of training and 20 minutes of Nazi fighting . It aid me to say , you’re able to have meter to let these people get to know each other ; their conflict can be as interesting as their difference with the villain . ”
He also name - assay Black Hawk Down as another big influence :

“ That ’s when I bring in we needed a warfare flick . With this many heroes , the only way you may really earn them — take in the idea that they are fighter — is that you put them through a nub grinder . ”

Producer Jon Kilik explain why the political and societal theme of Suzanne Collins ’s book drew him to the task :
That ’s one of the cause I was so worked up about doing it . For me , it ’s not strictly science fabrication ; it ’s an allegory for our man today . It ’s something we can all interrelate to , not so remote from the macrocosm and the time to come that especially immature people today face . ridiculous political sympathies , a crumbling thriftiness , an increasingly soulless refinement … A lot of kids feel that those in mightiness ca n’t be trust . That ’s what the kids in the story are break down through , and yet they still harbor hope .

When require about shooting the Hunger Games continuation in 3D , music director Gary Ross provides a compressed self-denial answer that offers one of the more insightful critiques of the data format I ’ve seen in for a while :
No , utterly not , never . I do n’t think it ’s appropriate for this moving-picture show . I consider that if we shoot this picture in 3D , we become the Capitol . We start making spectacle out of something that I do n’t think is really appropriate here . There demand to be an aesthetic space here because of the nature of the material , the premise , what they ’re doing . I think that cinematic techniques designed to intensify the experience if you feel them that room , are n’t really appropriate . I mean I have a go at it 3D , I really do and I think it ’s a wondrous cock , I just do n’t consider it ’s the right tool for this .

If absolutely nothing else , the Percy Jackson sequel is become to sport some cult favorite worker . Chief among them will reportedly be none other Nathan Fillion , who has signed on to toy the god Hermes , the father of Percy ’s main resister Luke . He replace Dylan Neal , who play Hermes in the first movie . If this mean we ’re maneuver for a general recasting of parts , and Sean Bean is too meddling to come back as Zeus , I ’m going to go ahead and suggest Bruce Campbell as Zeus . Because the thinking of Nathan Fillion and Bruce Campbell as rival Grecian gods is about the only matter that could get me legitimately excited for a Percy Jackson continuation . Really , that thought could get me excited for anything . [ Hollywood Reporter ]

Director Brad Bird -= who these days might well be too meddlesome throwing Tom Cruise off of skyscrapers to make alive films anymore — says he wo n’t decree out a sequel to The Incredibles these daytime , but the challenge is envision out the right story :
I really roll in the hay those characters and if I can figure out a whole story to do I would do it . But one of the vantage that we had in the original ‘ Incredibles ’ was that several of the character had never really got to flex their sinew before . They were subjugate , and it was about them bring out their own abilities … Any sequel to it , that special thing – which is really a wonderful thing to be capable to research in a movie – that ’s sort of go . And so you have to find something that is equally interesting to do in a sequel .

That might sound like a brush - off , but it ’s worth noting that Pixar in reality does do sequels long after the last film , such as the eleven year disruption between the second and third Toy Story movies and the twelve year gap between 2001 ’s Monsters , Inc. and its planned prequel Monsters University . So , nothing ’s unsufferable with this one . [ IFC ]

Costar Maisie Williams hash out what to expect from Arya Stark ’s journey in time of year two , start up with her human relationship with Gendry :
At the beginning of the season , she still does n’t really bank him because everyone who she ’s trusted before has been taken away from her , and she does n’t think she ’s blend in to see most of them again , and she knows she ’s not go bad to see her pappa again . I opine she cognize that she can trust him , but for some cause she does n’t because she does n’t require to get emotionally bond to anyone , just in pillow slip they get taken off from her .

Arya learned really quickly at the goal of Season 1 , when the boy examine to steal her brand , that her world is more treacherous by the arcminute . How dangerous is it pass away to get ?
I think because Needle ’s the only thing she ’s gravel go forth of house , and that ’s really the only thing deserving something that she ’s sire with her , she ’s really protective . Because she was quite sensitive anyway , and this son she never even see before came up to her and was trying to take her sword aside , she did n’t cleave up for herself . After that happened , and when we start off Season 2 , she ’s not gon na be pushed around … She can now abide up for herself and mass wo n’t sort of laugh at her because she ’s a girl , because everyone thinks she ’s a boy .
