Suzanne Collins: Hunger Games author who found rich pickings in dystopia
27 April 2012 4:09 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
She's the top-selling Kindle author and the film of her book has made £300m worldwide – yet Collins remains an enigma
There are many bestselling children's authors but only rarely do any come along who break through into the universal cultural consciousness. Cs Lewis did it, as did Roald Dahl and Jk Rowling. Now along comes Suzanne Collins, a 49-year-old from Connecticut, in the Us, with The Hunger Games trilogy.
It's too early to know how durable this series will prove, but the signs so far are good. It has spent more than 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. The film has made converts of even the most curmudgeonly critics, grossing more than $531m (£327m) worldwide in its first four weeks. More than 1m copies of the books are now in print in the UK, and last month Amazon announced that Collins had become the bestselling Kindle author so far. »

105 movie sequels currently in the works
15 March 2012 2:59 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Hollywood loves its sequels, and we’ve got the proof here. Meet the 105 sequels at various stages of production, and a further 17 that seem to have died.
It’s been nearly five years since we started doing our annual round-ups of the current movie sequels that are in the works, and this year marks the longest list of all. Furthermore, what the 105 we've rounded up here doesn’t include are the projects that we suspect might have been lost to development hell, which we’ve detailed down at the bottom. Hollywood does love its follow-ups.
The projects that we do talk about here each have some chance of happening, and we’ve done a release date cut off of films due after October 2012 at the earliest. Thus, this summer’s collection of sequels – including The Dark Knight Rises, Madagascar 3, Ice Age 4, G.I. Joe 2, The Expendables 2, American Pie: The Reunion, »

Steven Spielberg Updates Tintin 2
15 February 2012 1:50 PM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
It's no secret that Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg are looking to make a sequel to their 3-D, performance-capture animated The Adventures of Tintin, even before it opened last December and went on to gross $371 million in worldwide box office.
Last April, Anthony Horowitz (Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker) admitted that he was hired to write the sequel, which he said would be titled The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun and would have Jackson taking the director's chair from Spielberg. By October, Jackson confirmed that a Tintin sequel would be his next project after finishing work on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again, the two-part prequel to his The Lord of the Rings trilogy. In a recent interview with Total Film, Spielberg revealed that Jackson would launch immediately from The Hobbit to the Tintin sequel.
Peter [Jackson]’s doing it. I wanted to do it, »

Steven Spielberg: 'The Adventures of Tintin' Sequel May Begin 'Later This Year'
13 January 2012 5:28 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
There's no rest for Peter Jackson. Once he's wrapped his epic "Hobbit" shoot, he'll dive right into the "Tintin" sequel, Steven Spielberg said during a French press tour: "[Jackson will] begin his performance capture work with the actors later in 2012."
Although "Tintin" hasn't been as popular stateside as it has been overseas, that isn't slowing down plans for a follow-up, and Spielberg is even talking about a third one: "I'm hoping I'll be able to direct the third one. I'd love to do the third one because I had so much fun on the first one," he said, though the original plan was reportedly to have a new filmmaker take over the franchise at some point.
The first installment, which is still in theaters, was written by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, but the sequel is being penned by English author-screenwriter Anthony Horowitz (whose credits include the British TV series »

Steven Spielberg reveals 'Tintin' sequel details
13 January 2012 10:30 AM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Although The Adventures of Tintin hasn’t made much money in America, it’s been raking it in abroad. In fact, according to Box Office Mojo, it’s made over four times as much money in foreign sales as it has domestically. So it’s not surprising that, on a French press tour to promote the movie, filmmaker demigod and Tintin director Steven Spielberg was chattily bullish about the future of the franchise. According to Collider, Spielberg claimed that his co-producer Peter Jackson will start shooting Tintin Part Deux this year: “When he’s done shooting The Hobbit, he’ll »
