Donald Sutherland Is “Overwhelmed” by ‘The Hunger Games’: “It almost makes me weep.”

9/4/2012Donald SutherlandTheresa

To help promote The Hunger Games arriving on DVD/Blu-ray in the UK yesterday, Starburst had the opportunity to interview Donald Sutherland about his role as President Snow in the film.

Starburst: You’ve played a judge, general, captain and a priest, but only an animated President (in 2009’s Astro Boy). Were you eager to play a human President?

Donald Sutherland: No! I couldn’t give a shit.

Fair play.

I was sent this script by director Gary Ross. I read it and immediately wrote a letter to my agent because I came away from it with my mind terribly stimulated, extraordinarily impressed.

So the film more than lived up to your expectations then?

I am overwhelmed by it. It almost makes me weep. I just loved it; it’s important for this fragmented society that we live in. And it’s not just the United States but the world in general. And I do so hope Barack Obama gets re-elected.

It’s almost as if The Hunger Games could end up being the ultimate reality show, for real.

Oh yes, because movies can make a difference. One afternoon 55 years ago, when I was at the University of Toronto, I went in and saw Fellini’s classic 1954 film La Strada and I came out with such bliss. I was so in love with going to movies that I went back in and bought another ticket for Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory. I came out of that film and my life had literally changed.

Video: Casting Featurette from ‘The Hunger Games’ DVD/Blu-ray

9/4/2012Hunger GamesTheresa

In honor or yesterday’s release of The Hunger Games on DVD/Blu-ray in the UK, YahooMoviesUK has released a clip online from the bonus features of the film. In this piece, Director Gary Ross talks about casting Jennifer Lawrence and how her taking on the role was a necessity for the project. The featurette also includes tidbits on how the other actors were chosen for the roles as well.

“There was no second choice for me. If I couldn’t make the movie with Jennifer, then I didn’t want to make it. I just knew there was no one who would come close. There was no one who had her strength, her directness, her integrity, her solidity, her bravery, her power or her nuance for emotional depth.” — Gary Ross on Jennifer Lawrence
