Natalie Dormer sets condition for doing more films


Natalie Dormer, the star of "Hunger Games" has indicated that she is open to doing more films in the franchise provided author Suzanne Collins is involved. The last and final film in the series, “Mockingjay, Part 2”, was released last month. The possibility of getting the franchise to continue with prequels had been floated by Lionsgate vice chairman Michael Burns.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 22 December 2015.
Natalie Dormer plays the role of Cressida in the films and she talked of her admiration for “The Hunger Games” author and added that she would be interested in more movies in the series only if Collins was on board. Natalie adored Suzanne Collins for her bravery and imagination that spells success of The Hunger Games. She is a huge fan of Suzanne Collins and her writing.
In her opinion, Hunger Games producer Nina Jacobson and director Francis Lawrence realize this and any prequel or sequel would have to come from her and her penmanship.
Jennifer Lawrence has recently revealed that she would not be involved in any potential prequels.

Hugh Jackman of Wolverine fame could portray the role of Greek hero Odysseus


Rumors are in the air that ‘Wolverine’ star Hugh Jackman could portray the titular Greek hero Odysseus in the adaptation of Homer’s epic poem ‘The Odyssey’. It appears that negotiations are on and that Francis Lawrence, the director of the last three ‘Hunger Games’ films could be at the helm of affairs for the upcoming movie.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 21 August 2015.
The project is from Lionsgate who had brought Suzanne Collins’ dystopian novel to the big screen. It is about Odysseus, also known as Ulysses in Roman myths, as he takes a long voyage back home after the fall of Troy. The journey takes ten years to reach his homeland of Ithaca after the conclusion of the Trojan War.
And, in his absence, his wife has to deal with unruly suitors.
Hugh Jackman is 46-year-old and would make his final appearance as Marvel’s clawed mutant in “The Wolverine 3” – this is due for release in March 3, 2017.
