<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/2012-04-11/its-official-gary-ross-will-not-be-directing-the-hunger-games-sequel-catching-fire/" target="_blank">The loss</a> of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/gary-ross">Gary Ross</a> as a director of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-hunger-games" target="_blank"><em>The Hunger Games</em></a> sequels has been absolutely devastating for devoted fans of burgeoning franchise. As a rabid fan myself (and as a friend of many other rabid fans), I can’t even begin to tell you how crestfallen we are. Ross was truly <em>one of us</em> – an ardent admirer of the series who happened to also don a director’s cap. His respect for the source material was well known, which is why many supporters trusted him with Suzanne Collins’ words. Now, we’re all left scratching our heads and anxious about what’s to come.</p>
<p><span id="more-162509"></span></p>
<p>Still, the beat must go on, and I have to put my optimism and faith in the people at Lionsgate. They did it right the first time; they can do it right again. Having continuity through the entire film franchise would have been the best-case scenario, but tributes can’t be choosers. And there are plenty of directors who might just be able to fill Gary Ross’s shoes, while maybe adding a few sprinkles of their own magic. Here is my list of people who could<em> realistically</em> take over (otherwise <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/martin-scorsese" target="_blank">Martin Scorsese</a> would be on here):<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<h2><strong>1. Steven Soderbergh</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Steven-Soderbergh-Haywire-041212-PW.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162520" title="Steven Soderbergh directing Haywire" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Steven-Soderbergh-Haywire-041212-PW.jpg" alt="Steven Soderbergh Haywire 041212 PW Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="379" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Soderbergh</strong> is the obvious best choice because his fingerprints are all over the franchise already. Brought in as a Second Unit Director on the first film, he commandeered one of the finer scenes in the picture: the rebellion sequence in District 11. It was a hailed by critics and fans as a flourishing addition, and his talent as a director was on full display.</p>
<p>Soderbergh’s credentials are also impressive. Not only is he close with Ross, but his accomplishments are considerably superior. Director of <strong><em>Erin Brockovich</em></strong>, <strong><em>Traffic</em></strong>, <strong><em>Ocean’s Eleven</em></strong>, and <em><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/contagion" target="_blank">Contagion</a></em>, he clearly has the chops. The only concerns about him are his rumored casting preferences (Alex Pettyfer for Finnick? No thanks!) The other problem is – and this will be a common theme – he is allegedly too busy to step in on such short notice.</p>
<h2><strong>2. Kathryn Bigelow</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Kathryn-Bigelow-041212-pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162519" title="Kathryn Bigelow directing The Hurt Locker" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Kathryn-Bigelow-041212-pw.jpg" alt="Kathryn Bigelow 041212 pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="380" /></a></p>
<p>The former wife of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/james-cameron">James Cameron</a> is a hot commodity these days after winning the Oscar for Directing with Iraq-war sensation <em><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-hurt-locker" target="_blank">The Hurt Locker</a></em>. As the first and only woman to snag the award, it puts her in extremely elite company, and what better way to further the message of female empowerment than to put Katniss Everdeen in her hands? With <strong><em>The Hurt Locker</em></strong>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/kathryn-bigelow/">Bigelow</a> demonstrated her ability to tackle violence and war, which she could display in spades during <strong><em><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/catching-fire">Catching Fire</a></em></strong> sequences.</p>
<p>It’s unclear whether she would be interested, but Lionsgate should certainly extend some overtures. One big problem: She’s currently working on <strong><em>Zero Dark Thirty</em></strong>, a film about the Navy Seals who tracked down Osama bin Laden. Timing could be impossible.</p>
<h2><strong>3. Ang Lee</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Ang-Lee-041212-pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162511" title="Ang Lee directing Hulk" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Ang-Lee-041212-pw.jpg" alt="Ang Lee 041212 pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="373" /></a></p>
<p>Known for lauded films like <strong><em>Brokeback Mountain</em></strong> and <strong><em>Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon</em></strong>, perhaps my favorite rendition of his was actually <strong><em>Sense and Sensibility</em></strong>, where he so deftly tackled Jane Austen’s nuanced text. That ability to adapt from novel to screen could serve him extremely well here with <em>Catching Fire</em>. Throughout his career, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/ang-lee">Lee</a> has proven his versatility – the kind of versatility needed for the District 12 scenes, coupled with the violence in the Arena. Imagine the mountains of <em>Brokeback</em> juxtaposed with the combat of <em>Tiger</em>. It does seem like a great fit.</p>
<p>However, critics might question his tendency for slow pacing. After all, his target market is made up of mostly young adults, who may not have the patience for his scenic deliberation and andante tempo. To be successful, he would have to adopt a more electric style. I think he can do it.</p>
<h2><strong>4. Brad Bird</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Brad-Bird-Mission-Impossible-4-041212-pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162512" title="Brad Bird directing Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Brad-Bird-Mission-Impossible-4-041212-pw.jpg" alt="Brad Bird Mission Impossible 4 041212 pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="380" /></a></p>
<p>I’ve been throwing Bird’s name out anywhere and everywhere, because so far his track record has been simply phenomenal. The architect behind two Pixar gems (the exhilarating <strong><em>The Incredibles</em></strong> and the culturally resplendent <strong><em>Ratatouille</em></strong>), <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/brad-bird">Bird</a> also showed his mastery over the live action technique with <em><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/mission-impossible-ghost-protocol" target="_blank">Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol</a></em>, a herculean effort that resurrected what appeared to be a dormant franchise. So far, he has earned platitudes from every sector, for both a steady hand in the director’s chair and an intelligent appreciation for artistry.</p>
<p>My concerns are twofold: 1) The lack of experience, but more importantly, 2) Would he respect Collins’ source material enough? The fact that there’s a question mark on the latter makes me hesitant to throw my whole heart behind him. All of his previous efforts have been self-constructed – would he do right by Collins and the fan base? I think he would, but I don’t have proof, and in these harrowing times, reassurance is needed.</p>
<h2><strong>5. Duncan Jones</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Duncan-Jones-Source-Code-041212-pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162515" title="Duncan Jones directing Source Code " src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Duncan-Jones-Source-Code-041212-pw.jpg" alt="Duncan Jones Source Code 041212 pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="379" /></a></p>
<p>Now here’s a candidate I could realistically see taking over. <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/duncan-jones">Jones</a> is a hot name in fan circles and for good reason: his first two flicks have been categorical successes (<strong><em>Moon</em></strong> and <strong><em>Source Code</em></strong>). In both cases, he managed to feature science fiction topics and make them stimulating (in the case of <strong><em>Moon</em></strong>, with basically one character). <strong><em>Source Code</em></strong> was hardly on the silver screen radar, but it proved to be a frenetic, down-to-the-wire picture – just the kind of suspense-building <strong><em>Catching Fire</em></strong> could use.</p>
<p>The cons? He’s still relatively unproven, and to pick him might be a serious gamble. Then again, it’s a gamble that could pay off with huge dividends, and he might just appreciate the opportunity more than the others above. His availability is also a major plus, but the question of the hour: Is he as much of a <strong><em>Hunger Games</em></strong> fan as Ross, and could he work directly with Collins?</p>
<h2><strong>6. Joe Wright</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Joe-Wright-Hanna-041212-pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162518" title="Joe Wright directing Hanna" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Joe-Wright-Hanna-041212-pw.jpg" alt="Joe Wright Hanna 041212 pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="379" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/joe-wright">Wright</a> has quite the accomplished record, dazzling viewers (including me) with <strong><em>Pride and Prejudice</em></strong> in 2005, and going on to garner tremendous acclaim for <strong><em>Atonement</em></strong>. He also integrated music and style extraordinarily in <strong><em>Hanna</em></strong>, which has caused some to recommend him for <strong><em>Catching Fire</em></strong> (since it’s a similar genre).</p>
<p>I absolutely loved what he did with <strong><em>Pride and Prejudice</em></strong>, but I have some serious holdups. Would he be willing to direct <strong><em>Catching Fire</em></strong> the way the fans want? I’d expect him to bring his own unique vision, which could be spectacular, but it also could stray far too much from the basic story. While that might delight ambivalent filmgoers and reviewers, the franchise has an obligation to appease Collins and her fans. This is dangerous territory, but it could also turn out magnificently.</p>
<h2><strong>7. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Florian-Henckel-von-Donnersmarck-Tourist-041212-pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162516" title="Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck directing The Tourist" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Florian-Henckel-von-Donnersmarck-Tourist-041212-pw.jpg" alt="Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck Tourist 041212 pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="380" /></a></p>
<p>What can you say about a director who spearheaded one of the greatest movies of our time (<strong><em>The Lives of Others</em></strong>) and then an awards-show punchline (<strong><em>The Tourist</em></strong>)? I’m inclined to give German pioneer <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/florian-henckel-von-donnersmarck">von Donnersmarck</a> the benefit of the doubt, especially since <strong><em>The Tourist</em>’s</strong> flaws rest less with the directing and more with the laughable plot. These are highly skilled hands, and von Donnersmarck’s attention to detail seems right up Ross’s alley.</p>
<p>Of course, it would be a huge risk to take on a foreign director who may not even have familiarity with the series. He makes my list, however, because of his incredible talent and the possibility that he could bring <strong><em>The Hunger Games</em></strong> franchise to a new level of grandeur.</p>
<h2><strong>8. Debra Granik</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Debra-Granik-Winters-Bone-041212-pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162514" title="Debra Granik" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Debra-Granik-Winters-Bone-041212-pw.jpg" alt="Debra Granik Winters Bone 041212 pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="428" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/debra-granik">Granik</a> is really known for one great movie: <strong><em>Winter’s Bone</em></strong>. Coincidence that it’s the film that put Jennifer Lawrence on the map and drew the notice of Gary Ross (who confidently cast her as Katniss)? Clearly, the two of them work wonderfully together, and the setting in <strong><em>Winter’s Bone</em></strong> has some striking similarities to <strong><em>The Hunger Games</em>’</strong> District 12. This could be a match made in heaven.</p>
<p>If you thought any of the previous suggestions were unproven, however, Granik takes the cake. She has never worked on something in the limelight like this, and one wonders if her inexperience with action sequences could stunt the series. It’s definitely a risk, but it could be one worth taking in light of her rapport with Lawrence. (And let’s face it – this movie hinges more than anything on Katniss.)</p>
<h2><strong>9. Tom Hooper</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Tom-Hooper-41212-pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162521" title="Tom Hooper" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Tom-Hooper-41212-pw.jpg" alt="Tom Hooper 41212 pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="381" /></a></p>
<p>Now here’s a case of a scorching hot director who has never attempted a picture quite like <strong><em>Catching Fire</em></strong>. He’s so low profile, in fact, that most people probably have never heard of him – even though he’s just one year removed from winning an Oscar for <strong><em>The King’s Speech</em></strong>. <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/tom-hooper">Hooper</a> would be a peculiar choice, but he has performed beyond the call in every project he’s ever directed. This includes a string of exceptional miniseries: <strong><em>Daniel Daronda</em>, <em>Love in a Cold Climate</em>, <em>Elizabeth</em>,</strong> and <strong><em>John Adams</em></strong> were all extremely well received.</p>
<p>Hooper is not my top choice for obvious reasons, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had it in him to dazzle everyone. You could certainly do a lot worse, and you may not be able to do better.</p>
<h2><strong>10. Cary Fukunaga</strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Cary-Fukunga-Sin-Nombre-041212pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162513" title="Cary Fukunga directing Sin Nombre" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Cary-Fukunga-Sin-Nombre-041212pw.jpg" alt="Cary Fukunga Sin Nombre 041212pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="381" /></a></p>
<p>This is my dark horse selection. I doubt he’s on anyone’s short list, but maybe he should be. <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/cary-fukunaga">Fukunaga</a> did a stellar job directing two recent films: <strong><em>Jane Eyre</em></strong> and <strong><em>Sin Nombre</em></strong>. With <strong><em>Jane Eyre</em></strong>, Fukunaga showed incredible loyalty to Charlotte Bronte’s text, more so than in any previous adaptation. That’s the same kind of devotion <strong><em>Hunger Games</em></strong> fans would love to see in <strong><em>Catching Fire</em></strong>.</p>
<p>This would be a much greater challenge for him in his young career, but it could also be a springboard into fame and recognition. He probably wouldn’t assuage everyone’s fears right off the bat, but in time, he might just be the right ingredient to continue Ross’s superlative vision.</p>
<h2><strong><em>Alternates:</em></strong></h2>
<p><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/ron-howard">Ron Howard</a></strong>,<strong> <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/robert-redford">Robert Redford</a></strong> – Both would be what I would define as “safe” picks. In other words, you could count on them to stay true to the story, but they probably wouldn’t connect with the core fan base the way some of the others could. Redford especially is a lot more capable than people realize, directing <strong><em>Quiz Show</em></strong> with profound intelligence and grace.</p>
<h2><strong><em>Absolutely Nots:</em></strong></h2>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Alfonso-Cuaron-Harry-Potter-041212-pw.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-162510" title="Alfonso Cuaron directing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Alfonso-Cuaron-Harry-Potter-041212-pw.jpg" alt="Alfonso Cuaron Harry Potter 041212 pw Who Should Replace Gary Ross As Director Of ‘Catching Fire?" width="570" height="380" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/alfonso-cuaron">Alfonso Cuaron</a></strong> – His name is being floated out there far too often for my tastes. Ask any fervent <strong><em>Harry Potter</em></strong> fan and he/she will tell you what a nightmare <strong><em>Prisoner of Azkaban</em></strong> was. Cuaron is an OUTSTANDING director, but he makes all his films far more about his own artistic interpretation than the material he’s working with. Cuaron would be a dream director for non-fans and an apocalypse for lovers of the books. STAY AWAY!</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-bay">Michael Bay</a></strong> – Does this even need an explanation? Sure, he would be great at having things blow up in the Cornucopia, but you may as well forget about depth and acting. That he is being mentioned at all is frightening.</li>
<li><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/catherine-hardwicke">Catherine Hardwicke</a></strong> – If there is one thing <strong><em>The Hunger Games</em></strong> franchise should unequivocally avoid, it’s having ANYTHING to do with <strong><em>Twilight</em></strong>. Under Ross’s fine direction, <strong><em>The Hunger Games</em></strong> has come out of the gate drawing little comparison to the much maligned <strong><em>Twilight</em></strong> series, and keeping away from directors like Hardwicke would ensure that continues. Plus, if Lionsgate were even to consider Hardwicke (she is among the rumored choices), the fans might just burn down the studio. We don’t need a literal case of “catching fire” before <strong><em>Catching Fire</em></strong> hits pre-production.</li>
</ul>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Hanna-On-the-Run-.jpg"></a><span>Rarely do you get so much fine acting, action and suspense all packed into one jet-fueled, 70s-Euro-<span>esq</span> thrill ride as you do in </span><em><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/hanna/">Hanna</a></em>. Step aside<em> <a href="http://screencrave.com/project/sucker-punch/">Sucker Punch</a></em><span>, it&#8217;s time for some real bad-ass chicks to take control. The film stars the impressive cast of  the young and talented <span>Saoirse</span> <span>Ronan</span>; Cate <span>Blanchette one of the best baddies there is</span>; Eric <span>Bana</span> who provides bo<span>th</span> the  dep<span>th</span> and heart needed in the film; and finally Tom Hollander wi<span>th</span> one  of his creepiest performances to date.</span></p>
<p><span>Director Joe Wright has made one of the most interesting and yet simple action films in theaters, which (aside from <em><a href="http://screencrave.com/project/source-code/">Source Code</a></em>) is really the only thing wor<span>th</span> seeing.Find out why it&#8217;s wor<span>th</span> seeing below.</span></p>
<h2><span id="more-141727"></span></h2>
<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Joe-Wright/">Joe Wright</a></li>
<li><strong>Writer</strong>: Seth Lochhead and David Farr</li>
<li><strong>Actor</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Saoirse-Ronan/">Saoirse Ronan</a> (<a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-04-06/interview-saoirse-ronan-takes-on-hanna/">interview</a>), <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Eric-Bana/">Eric Bana</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Cate-Blanchett/">Cate Blanchett</a>, Jessica Barden, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Tom-Hollander/">Tom Hollander</a></li>
<li><strong>Original Music by</strong>: Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons (as The Chemical Brothers)</li>
<li><strong>Cinematography by</strong>: Alwin H. Kuchler</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p>Hanna has the strength, the stamina, and the smarts of a soldier; but the brain and social aptitude of a young child. She&#8217;s been raised  by her ex-CIA father in the wilds of Finland. She is sent into the world by her father on a mission, while a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own tries to hunt her down.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Action and Acting</strong>: Finally, an action film that actually hires solid actors to give real performances so that when the action scenes kick in, you actually care about them! All the characters have layers that are not fully explained, but felt by the audience and leave you intrigued. Who knew actions films could be so much fun!?</li>
<li><span><strong>The Music</strong>: If you don&#8217;t see this film, you must buy the soundtrack. The music sets the pace for the film from the very beginning &#8212; it begins wi<span>th</span> a fast beat that lays underneath<span>th</span> the film like a heartbeat that just keeps beating, faster and faster. It&#8217;s relentless. Then they <span>integrate</span> a childlike <span>innocence</span> to it which they bring in at some of the most intense moment &#8212; perfectly balancing the <span>naivety</span> of the character wi<span>th</span> the growing dark and macabre <span>atmosphere</span> . Just be careful if you listen to it while driving, you&#8217;ll want to go fast, very fast. </span></li>
<li><strong>The Pace</strong><span>: As was said about the music, the film sets a fast pace <span>from</span> the first moment the screen lights up and keeps a fast moving pace through to the bitter end. You won&#8217;t need to worry about feel the weight of this film&#8217;s leng<span>th</span>, it breezes right along.</span></li>
<li><strong>The Old/Euro Fee</strong>l: There&#8217;s something this film that reminds you of a 70&#8242;s, Italian, action thriller &#8212; but brought to modern times and presented in a modern way. It&#8217;s absolutely wonderful because it takes the best of that era and brings it to modern cinema. Very nice touch.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><span><strong>The Inciting Event</strong>: One could pick apart this and a few other details from the film that really don&#8217;t make perfect sense. There are definitely some things that could absolutely never happen, but because of how strong the rest of the film is, for some reason I didn&#8217;t really mind the problems wi<span>th</span> the story and enjoyed some of the more <span>inconceivable</span> action scenes &#8212; they all seemed to help the story move along and didn&#8217;t outwardly hurt the story. I&#8217;m a stickler for this kind of stuff, but they did such a good job of tying it into the film and making it their own that it didn&#8217;t really hurt them. So why not!?</span></li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>Really great film that will keep your heart pumping while watching some fine acting on the big screen. Go see it! Make it a double bill with <em>Source Code</em>!</p>
<h2>Rating: 8/10</h2>
<p><em>Hanna</em><span> is in theaters starting April 11<span>th</span>.</span></p>
<h2>Trailer:</h2>

<p>Two new clips for <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Joe-Wright/">Joe Wright</a>&#8216;s action-packed thriller <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/hanna/"><strong><em>Hanna</em></strong></a> have just been sent over from Focus and they&#8217;ve got some great moments in them that you have to check out. The film stars one of the most talented young actresses currently working today, Academy Award nominee <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Saoirse-Ronan/">Saoirse Ronan</a> (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/The-Lovely-Bones/"><em>The Lovely Bones</em></a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Atonement/"><em>Atonement</em></a>) as Hanna with <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Eric-Bana/">Eric Bana</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Cate-Blanchett/">Cate Blanchette</a> in supporting roles, and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Tom-Hollander/">Tom Hollander</a> is one of his creepiest performances to date. In the clips you get to see a lot of the set up that makes the film so great. The action is fun, but it&#8217;s the characters that keep us interested and this film has a ton of &#8220;colorful&#8221; characters. Check them out below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-141088"></span></p>
<p>Cate Blanchette get&#8217;s serious in &#8220;Safari Club&#8221; clip:</p>
<p><object width="570" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.focusfeatures.com/swf/fifplayer.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="showPlacard=true&amp;orbUrl=www.focusfeatures.com&amp;bronsonOrb=www.focusfeatures.com&amp;videoUrl=hanna_clip_safari_club&amp;anurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffif.s3.amazonaws.com%2F1301074280-dcb02de2fbb9a904c966c791ac0e8228.720x405.mp4" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed width="570" height="300" src="http://www.focusfeatures.com/swf/fifplayer.swf" flashvars="showPlacard=true&amp;orbUrl=www.focusfeatures.com&amp;bronsonOrb=www.focusfeatures.com&amp;videoUrl=hanna_clip_safari_club&amp;anurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffif.s3.amazonaws.com%2F1301074280-dcb02de2fbb9a904c966c791ac0e8228.720x405.mp4" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Prepare to have this theme stuck in your head after the movie. They do a very clever job of intertwining it into the film in different ways to add a sweet, childlike essence to the evil Germans coming to get Hanna; who you can see in the clip below&#8230;</p>
<p>See Saoirse as Hanna in action in this clip entitled &#8220;Don’t Follow Me&#8221;:</p>
<p><object width="570" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.focusfeatures.com/swf/fifplayer.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="showPlacard=true&amp;orbUrl=www.focusfeatures.com&amp;bronsonOrb=www.focusfeatures.com&amp;videoUrl=hanna_clip_dont_follow_me&amp;anurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffif.s3.amazonaws.com%2F1301073647-9b315fc0cdf0a1ae6ee041a8099c5623.720x405.mp4" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed width="570" height="300" src="http://www.focusfeatures.com/swf/fifplayer.swf" flashvars="showPlacard=true&amp;orbUrl=www.focusfeatures.com&amp;bronsonOrb=www.focusfeatures.com&amp;videoUrl=hanna_clip_dont_follow_me&amp;anurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffif.s3.amazonaws.com%2F1301073647-9b315fc0cdf0a1ae6ee041a8099c5623.720x405.mp4" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>These just make we want to see the film again&#8230; or at least put the soundtrack back on. The Chemical Brothers have created an amazing sound for the film that goes great for driving fast through traffic.</p>
<p>You can receive free download of a The Chemical Brothers song (as featured on the soundtrack) if you purchase tickets for the film on <a href="http://www.fandango.com/hanna_135713/movieoverview">Fandango</a> or <a href="http://www.movietickets.com/movie_detail.asp?movie_id=96006">MovieTickets</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Will you check out the film?</strong></p>

<p><strong>Official Synopsis:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Raised by her father (Eric Bana of <em>Star Trek</em>),    an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland, Hanna’s upbringing and   training  have been one and the same, all geared to making her the   perfect  assassin. The turning point in her adolescence is a sharp one;   sent into  the world by her father on a mission, Hanna journeys   stealthily across  Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a   ruthless  intelligence operative with secrets of her own (Academy  Award  winner  Cate Blanchett).    As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces  startling revelations   about her existence and unexpected questions about  her humanity.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Hanna</em> opens in theaters everywhere on April 8.</p>

<p>Are we the only ones who get a <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Jodie-Foster">Jodie Foster</a> from <strong><em>Silence of the Lambs</em></strong> vibe from <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Cate-Blanchett">Cate Blanchett</a> in this trailer? And the choice of music at the end of it is hilarious but odd. Other than that, we&#8217;re interested in seeing what else this movie has to offer.</p>
<p>Synopsis:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hanna (Ronan) is a teenage girl.  Uniquely, she has the strength, the stamina, and the smarts of a  solider; these come from being raised by her father (<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Eric-Bana">Eric Bana</a>), an  ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Sweden. Living a life unlike any other  teenager, her upbringing and training have been one and the same, all  geared to making her the perfect assassin. The turning point in her  adolescence is a sharp one; sent into the world by her father on a  mission, Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents  dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets  of her own (Blanchett). As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Hanna</em> is scheduled to hit theaters on April 8, 2011.</p>

<p>A lot of interesting news has come out of this year&#8217;s New York Comic-Con. Last week, we learned about Warner Bros/DC Entertainment&#8217;s plans for their upcoming superhero films. Unfortunately, the <em><strong>Justice League&#8217;s</strong></em> future <a href="http://screencrave.com/2010-10-08/dc-says-justice-league-movie-not-happening/#more-112548">isn&#8217;t looking too bright.</a> But on a positive note, director<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Joe-Wright"> Joe Wright </a>held a panel for his new teen assassin flick <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/hanna/"><strong><em>Hanna</em></strong></a>, where it was revealed that the film will have a kick-ass score composed by none other than <a href="http://beatcrave.com/tag/chemical-brothers/">The Chemical Brothers</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-112691"></span></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.firstshowing.net/2010/10/09/exclusive-the-chemical-brothers-scoring-joe-wrights-hanna/">Firstshowing</a>, the moderator at the panel introduced some clips from <em>Hanna</em>, and mentioned that &#8220;there will be Chemical Brothers music behind it.&#8221; The site&#8217;s very own Alex Billington was in attendance and decided to ask the director himself if he could expand on that statement. Wright said, &#8220;The Chemical Brothers will be scoring the entire movie to provide a more &#8220;modern beat&#8221; instead of the classical scores of his previous films.&#8221; Nice!</p>
<p><em>Hanna</em> centers on a 14-year-old Eastern European girl (<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Saoirse-Ronan">Saoirse Ronan</a>) who has  been raised by her father to be a cold-blooded killing machine. She  connects with a French family, forms a friendship with their daughter  and goes through the pangs of adolescence. When the girl is dragged back  to her father’s world and discovers that she was bred as a killing  machine in a CIA prison camp, she must fight her way to a free life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-94491 aligncenter" title="Theater Mermaid Closing" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/The-Little-Mermaid-8-7-10-kc.jpg" alt="The Little Mermaid 8 7 10 kc Joe Wright Developing Live Action Little Mermaid" width="560" height="363" /></p>
<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Joe-Wright">Joe Wright</a> is a talented director who&#8217;s known for picking his projects carefully. He previously directed such acclaimed films as <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Pride-and-Prejudice"><strong><em>Pride and Prejudice</em></strong></a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Atonement"><strong><em>Atonement</em></strong></a> and now he wants to tackle &#8212; <strong><em>The Little Mermaid</em></strong>. According to THR, Wright is developing a live action version of the <strong>Hans Christian Andersen</strong> fairytale alongside Working Title Films.</p>
<p><span id="more-94487"></span></p>
<p>The script for the film has been written by <strong>Abi Morgan</strong> and &#8220;tells the classic tale of a young mermaid who gives up her life in the sea to love a human prince.&#8221; The story was first published by Andersen in 1837 and has been adapted multiple times over for film and television. One of the most famous versions is the 1989 Disney animated film (which is one of my favorite movies of all time!).</p>
<p>Wright has the talent to pull off any script that&#8217;s thrown his way but when was the last time we saw live action mermaids used effectively onscreen? <strong><em>Splash</em></strong>? That was over 25 years ago! Also, if we have to sit through <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Keira-Knightley">Keira Knightley</a> as the title character we&#8217;re going to have a serious problem.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of Wright taking on The Little Mermaid? Do you think a good live action version is possible?</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/eric-bana/">Eric Bana</a> is best known for his roles in action films (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/star-trek/"><em><strong>Star Trek</strong></em></a> and <em><strong>Troy</strong></em>), but lately the Australian-native has been taking a turn towards the slightly more dramatic or comedic (<em><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Funny-People/">Funny People</a></strong></em>, <em><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/The-Time-Travelers-Wife/">The Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife</a><span style="font-weight: normal">)</span></strong></em>. In his next role, Bana will play the father of a trained Eastern European assassin (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Saoirse-Ronan">Saoirse Ronan</a>) in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0993842/" target="_blank"><em><strong>Hana</strong></em></a>. However, don&#8217;t let the description fool you, there&#8217;s a good chance that <em>Hanna</em> will be more packed with drama than action due to the the director, <a href="../tag/Joe-Wright/">Joe Wright</a> (<em><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/pride-and-prejudice/">Pride &amp; Prejudice</a></strong></em>, <strong><em><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Atonement/">Atonement</a></em></strong> and <em><strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-soloist/">The Soloist)</a></strong></em>.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.heatvisionblog.com/2010/02/eric-bana-to-play-saorise-ronans-father-in-hanna.html">THR</a>&#8216;s plot description, it seems like Hanna will focus more on Ronan than on Bana:</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;[Hanna is] the story of a 14-year-old Eastern European girl saved from a CIA breeding camp and raised by her dad to be a cold-blooded killing machine. After finding peace with a French family, the girl is dragged to her father&#8217;s world, and she must fight her way to a free life.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Some of us might be used to Bana in more action-packed roles, but he&#8217;s definitely tackled the dramatic-father role before, the aussie played <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Kodi-Smit-McPhee/">Kodi Smit-McPhee</a>&#8216;s dad in <em><strong>Romulus, My Father</strong></em>. There&#8217;s a good chance that Bana can give an amazing dramatic performance under Joe Wright&#8217;s direction.</p>
<p><em>Hanna</em> is set for release in 2011.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of Bana&#8217;s playing the part?</strong></p>

<p>Director <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/joe-wright">Joe Wright</a> will take on the story of a teenage killer with his next project according to <a href="http://www.heatvisionblog.com/2009/11/joe-wright-in-talks-to-direct-assassin-thriller-hanna.html">The Hollywood Reporter</a>. The film is entitled <strong><em>Hanna</em></strong>, and will be a bit of a stretch from Wright&#8217;s previous work <em><strong>Atonement</strong></em> and <strong><em>Pride and Prejudice</em></strong>. <em>Hanna</em> has been in development at Focus Features for the past two years with several directors showing interest.</p>
<p><span id="more-49841"></span></p>
<p>Hanna has bounced between some of Hollywood&#8217;s top director&#8217;s including <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/danny-boyle">Danny Boyle</a> and <strong>Alfonso Cuaron </strong>in recent weeks. The film is being described as a combination of the Jason Bourne movies mixed with<em> La Femme Nikita.</em> The story will center on a 14-year-old Eastern European girl who has been raised by her father to be a cold-blooded killing machine. She connects with a French family, forms a friendship with their daughter and goes through the pangs of adolescence. When the girl is dragged back to her father’s world and discovers that she was bred as a killing machine in a CIA prison camp, she must fight her way to a free life.</p>
<p>Due to the budget concerns of Wright&#8217;s previously announced film<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/indian-summer"><strong><em> Indian Summer</em></strong></a>, <em>Hanna</em> will be his next project to start production. It will be interesting to see Wright take on this type of material, as compared to the dramatic fair he&#8217;s directed in recent years. He definitely knows how to deal with female protagomists, but the action element of <em>Hanna</em> might throw him off. Do you think he can handle it?</p>
<p><strong>What do you think about Joe Wright Directing Hanna?</strong></p>

<p>We knew this would happen sooner or later. It looks like the remake of the 1964 <strong>George Cukor</strong> classic, <strong><em>My Fair Lady</em></strong> has gained momentum. <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/keira-knightley">Keira Knightley</a> was rumored to star as the lead character in the new version of the film forever, and according to <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/film-news/6418265/By-George-shes-got-it-Keira-Knightley-beats-Scarlett-Johansson-to-be-My-Fair-Lady.html">The Telegraph,</a> she has officially won the role of Eliza Doolittle and beat out <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/scarlett-johannson">Scarlett Johannson</a> to do it.</p>
<p><span id="more-45077"></span></p>
<p>Not only will Knightley take on the famous role originally played by the late <strong>Audrey Hepburn</strong>, but she will reunite with <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/atonement/"><em><strong>Atonement</strong></em></a> director <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/joe-wright">Joe Wright</a> for the project. According to <a href="http://www.slashfilm.com/2009/10/25/keira-knightley-and-joe-wright-reteaming-for-my-fair-lady-remake/">/Film</a>, Wright has been named as the director of the remake that will have a screenplay written by <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/emma-thompson/">Emma Thompson</a>. Knightley has been training for the role by taking vocal lessons which she started over a year ago when the casting rumors first began.</p>
<p>If Knightley&#8217;s been cast as Eliza, who could possibly play her counterpart Prof. Henry Higgins? If all goes well, the front runner Daniel Craig will take on the role, which was previously played by<strong> Rex Harrison</strong> in the original. I&#8217;m personally against this remake on all accounts, because the 1964 version is fine the way it is. Nothing against the talent of any of the people involved, but this is just unnecessary.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of Keira Knightley starring in My Fair Lady?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-27400" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ReneeCate7-15-09Ah.jpg" alt="ReneeCate7 15 09Ah Working Title To Make Bridget Jones 3 and Indian Summer" width="570" height="420" title="Working Title To Make Bridget Jones 3 and Indian Summer" /></p>
<p>British Production Company <strong>Working Title</strong> is going to be busy in the near future. Rumor has it that the third installment of the hit series <strong><em>Bridget Jones</em></strong> starring the always talented <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/renee-zellweger/">Renee Zellweger</a></strong> has been confirmed and they will also be developing <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/joe-wright/">Joe Wright&#8217;s</a></strong> previously announced film, <strong><em><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/indian-summer/">Indian Summer</a></em></strong>, starring <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/cate-blanchett/">Cate Blanchett</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Zellweger will have to gain weight again in order to reprise one of the most known roles in her career as Bridget Jones, the British Publishing exec with weight issues and trouble finding love.  Her character is now in her 40&#8242;s and after her engagement to Mark in the second movie, Bridget is struggling to have a baby before her biological clock ticks out. This is likely based on the weekly columns author <strong>Helen Fielding</strong> wrote in 2005 for British newspaper the Independent.</p>
<p><span id="more-27387"></span></p>
<p>The movie will probably not go into production until the end of next year. No writer or director has been confirmed as of yet, nor have they come up with a title. So how does the star of the movie feel about the excess pounds she will have to put on for the movie? According to Aceshowbiz.com she said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;If it were to happen, then the least of my concerns would be putting the weight on again&#8230;I&#8217;ve said it before: I like it when I look a little more voluptuous.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>In Working Title&#8217;s next big film, <em>Indian Summer</em>, Blanchett will star as Lady Edwina Mountbatten. The film is based on the book of the same name by Alex von Tunzelmann, about the last days of Britain&#8217;s colonial rule of India in 1947.  Working Title co-toppers <strong>Eric Fellner</strong> and <strong>Tim Bevan</strong> will produce this movie along with <strong>Hilary Bevan Jones</strong>. <strong>William Nicholson</strong> is writing the screenplay. Filming should begin next year.</p>
<p><strong>Which movie are you more excited about? Who do you think is a better actress, Zellweger or Blanchett? </strong></p>
