Tom BlythGUEST
I keep getting asked this question, and it's a really good question because it kind of flummoxes me every time because I don't think I have an answer for it.
Tom BlythGUEST
I think, like, what Suzanne Collins is really good at is asking the big questions but not necessarily providing an answer.
Tom BlythGUEST
She provides, like, characters and circumstances that kind of challenge the question and kind of lets you walk away with your own answer, I guess.
Tom BlythGUEST
I'm not

Jacqueline ColeyHOST
All right.
Jacqueline ColeyHOST
I'm going to ask Arisco, because I know we don't have any other source material, and everybody is going to trust in what Suzanne Collins has done at this point.
Jacqueline ColeyHOST
But some people would like to know if you guys hope this could be the start of something more.

this
Tim BraytonHOST
movie? What do I have to learn here? The mistake that I didn't realize at the time, I wonder if Suzanne Collins is under the impression that the hook is interesting, whereas it is the characters who are interesting.
Tim BraytonHOST

Megan BraunHOST
When you're adapting a world that's already been visualized in previous films, how much freedom do you feel like you have to interpret it?
Francis LawrenceGUEST
um there's there there's a lot of freedom to interpret i mean you know we work very closely with suzanne collins in the adaptation process of the story um but in terms of the sort of visual language the aesthetic um there's tons and tons of freedom and especially i will say just in in the way that she's built the movies where you have the original three books four movies that are in a specific set of years.
Francis LawrenceGUEST
And then the next movie, Ballad of Sunbirds and Snakes, took place, what, 64 years before that.
Francis LawrenceGUEST
That definitely sets a different time, but that gives us a lot of opportunity to build different worlds and see things in different ways and change costumes and hair and makeup.
Anna StoneHOST
And I'm so excited and also depressed to talk to you about this today.
Anna StoneHOST
So today we're going to be discussing Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins and the part two of the film adaptation that was released in 2015.
Anna StoneHOST
This movie picks up right where part one left off after a hijacked PETA tries to kill Katniss in District 13.
Anna StoneHOST
Katniss needs to get out of there, so she is sent to District 2 to convince them to abandon the Capitol.
ZillaHOST
So I totally feel that.
ZillaHOST
And I think, like, everyone has, like, definitely, like, a published author that's, like, unreachable that you're like, can I do better than you? And then you have, like, Susan Collins on the other side.
ZillaHOST
It's like, I'll never do better than you.
ZillaHOST
I just love you.
GusHOST
Oh, great.
GusHOST

GusHOST
God damn it.

GusHOST
I have no idea because
AllieHOST
Suzanne Collins loved Elizabeth Banks portrayal of Effie Trinket so much like Suzanne Collins is like she's like a nothing character to me in these books and and Elizabeth Banks is portrayal of Effie was so iconic that one Suzanne Collins insisted that she be in the third movie even though she's not in the book.
AllieHOST
And two, this is what I've heard.
Dave VeraHOST
I mean, I know obviously this is adapting a book, right? So there are choices.
Dave VeraHOST
I'm complimenting the movie and Susan Collins at the same time.
Dave VeraHOST
The choice to... have the new arena be, like, a beach and, like, have, like, the big, all the tributes and the water and all that stuff, I think is so awesome.
Dave VeraHOST
And not just because I used to be a swimmer, but, like, because I actually love the, like, the fact that they have to, like, you know, jump in and swim.
