Le script de Hunger Games est signé Suzanne Collins et Gary Ross
Je vous avait fait un article sur des spoilers du script Hunger Games ultra détaillé ICI dans lequel Madge, la fille du maire, n'était pas présente, et donc ne donnait pas le mockingjay à Katniss, et Gale qui allait au Capitole.
Il se trouve que c'était le vrai script 1ère version écrit par Billy Ray.
Sauf que Suzanne Collins n'était pas satisfaite de ça, et donc elle a réécrit une autre version du script en collaboration avec Gary Ross. C'est ce qu'a confirmé Lionsgate, la boite de production du film, qui a précisé également qu'ils n'utiliserait pas du tout le script de Billy Ray.
Gary Ross a ajouté qu'il trouvait que Billy Ray avait fait un travail fantastique mais qu'il voulait ajouter sa propre voix dedans, et qu'il voulait rester le plus proche possible de l'essence du livre et de l'aspect émotionnel. D'aller dans la peau de Katniss et comprendre comment elle murit, essentiellement à travers sa relation avec Peeta.
Message de Suzanne Collins concernant le script
Now that the filming of The Hunger Games has begun, I've been getting a lot of questions about the script, so I thought I might share a little of my experience with you. Back in early 2010, Color Force and Lionsgate began the process of adapting the book to the screen and I wrote the first draft of the script. After that, we brought on veteran screenwriter Billy Ray to further develop the piece. Not only has he written and directed excellent films like Shattered Glass and Breach, he was a complete pleasure to work with. Amazingly talented, collaborative, and always respectful of the book. His adaptation further explored the world of Panem and its inhabitants. As though I wasn't lucky enough, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Gary Ross, known for his wonderful works such as Seabiscuit and Pleasantville, came on board. As part of his creative process, he wrote a subsequent draft which incorporated his incredible directorial vision of the film. And then he very generously invited me in to work with him on it. We had an immediate and exhilarating creative connection that brought the script to the first day of shooting. Of course, the piece will naturally continue to evolve through the filming, as the actors bring the characters to life, as the entire crew brings their significant talents to the piece, as the editors work with Gary to best realize his vision. The final draft will be on the screen next March.
So that's been the script process, and as an author, I'm truly grateful for the journey.
May the odds be ever in your favor!
Suzanne Collins
