NEW Still of Pres. Snow & Seneca Crane and Find out the 4 Things that won’t be in the Film!

Entertainment Weekly has a special The Hunger Games feature and HungerGamesMovie.org shared some of the things that are included in the 13-page article: A new still and the four things that won’t be in the film with an explanation by Gary Ross and Nina Jacobson (Producer)

• Madge: Jacobson says that “you have so little time to establish these characters. So if Madge has to get thrown under the bus so you can make sure that an audience who hasn’t read the books understands the devotion between Katniss and Prim, then that’s what you do.”
• Focus on Avoxes:  Director Gary Ross explains “we have Avoxes, but we don’t digress in the film. I think it’s a wonderful way to populate the world, but there are just certain [cutbacks] that have to happen.”
• Focus on the prep team: Octavia, Flavius and Venia are all in the movie but we won’t really get to know them. Jacobson says “we agreed that the main thing is to establish Cinna. So we had to sort of borrow from Peter to pay Paul!”
• Capitol gadgets: Gadgets like food automators won’t be shown. Jacobson explains “we didn’t want the Capitol to appear too fanciful. It has to appear ominous and threatening. The Capitol has to be a mind-blowing experience, but it can’t be Whoville.”

What do you guys think of the new still and those four things that won’t be in the film?

It didn’t say that they cut Buttercup! :D
