"The Hunger Games" teaser at the VMAs was more than just a passing glimpse at the upcoming film: it was a taste of things to come. Director Gary Ross caught up with Hollywood Crush over Skype and said that the movie, like the book, is going to be very much from the perspective of its main character, Katniss Everdeen.
"That's one of the fun things about it. There are times when you're viscerally inside [Jennifer Lawrence's] shoes, and that's the main experience," he said. "And there are other times when you're witnessing her the way they're witnessing her in the Game?and she's constantly being watched, which is one of the things that makes the book so compelling. But it's mainly an intense first-person experience, inside Katniss' shoes."

He said there's "very little" that is being taken from the source material, and that his job "isn?t to turn a book into a movie, it?s to be inspired by the book and then go write a movie." Still, he says he and director David Fincher are staying "very, very true to the spirit of the book" and will include Captain Nemo, Professor Pierre Aronnax and Ned Land.
