Asked about sci-fi action film The Hunger Games, Jacobson said, “The author (Suzanne Collins) is adapting it herself and she is writing away as we speak so I’m very excited about that.”

There’s no director or cast on board for that film yet. “We’ve had a lot of interest from directors,” she said. “Kind of an embarrassment of riches in terms of tons of directors who have called about it, but we didn’t want to attach anybody until we had a sсript and knew we were making the movie so that we didn’t end up having somebody get attached and then take something else and then not know what to do about staying with them or not. So we are waiting until we have our sсript before we go to directors, but there’s been some interest from great people.”

Lionsgate is targeting a 2011 release for the film. “[The studio] has been incredibly gonzo about having the movie. We’re getting the sсript in and our goal is we hope to attach a director late spring and make the movie in the fall for release anytime fall ‘11 or later. But that’s if everything goes perfectly on the sсript. If we take more time on the sсript, we’ll just go a little bit later. But our hope is to be making this movie in the fall,” she explained.


Кратко ,своими словами: Коллинз адаптирует сценарий, прежде чем показывать его директорам. К фильму повышен инетерес, на данный момент. Ориентировочно, фильм будет выпущен в 2011 году. А пока они надеются к концу весны уладить орг.моменты,а осенью начать съемки. Но это в идеале.
