Want to  wish writer of The Hunger Games Trilogy a very Happy Birthday! Thank you for such wonderful books which we will now be able to see through the movies! Hope you have a fantastic day.

Suzanne Collins may be heavily involved in the production of The Hunger Games movie, but shes perfectly content staying behind the scenes.The author tells USA Today, “I have no need to do a cameo.” Because of the futuristic setting, Collins says it would be “alarming” to appear in the movie. Its not uncommon for authors to make brief on-screen appearances in movie adaptations of their books. J.K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer and Jeff Kinney are just a few who have popped up in their movies.Though she may not be planning an on-screen appearance, Collins has been hard at work with director Gary Ross, putting the finishing touches on the screenplay. She also wrote the original version of the screenplay itself, before it was handed off to Billy Ray for rewrites.Collins has also been heavily involved in the casting process for The Hunger Games movie, set to begin filming at the end of this month.

Fans are still buzzing over last week’s news that Jennifer Lawrence has been cast as Katniss Everdeen in the film version of The Hunger Games. EW has received an exclusive statement by Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins on Lawrence’s casting. The complete text of the statement follows:

Dear Readers,

We have found Katniss.

As the author, I went into the casting process with a certain degree of trepidation. Believing your heroine can make the leap from the relative safety of the page to the flesh and bones reality of the screen is something of a creative act of faith. But after watching dozens of auditions by a group of very fine young actresses, I felt there was only one who truly captured the character I wrote in the book.  And I’m thrilled to say that Jennifer Lawrence has accepted the role.

In her remarkable audition piece, I watched Jennifer embody every essential quality necessary to play Katniss. I saw a girl who has the potential rage to send an arrow into the Gamemakers and the protectiveness to make Rue her ally. Who has conquered both Peeta and Gale’s hearts even though she’s done her best to wall herself off emotionally from anything that would lead to romance. Most of all, I believed that this was a girl who could hold out that handful of berries and incite the beaten down districts of Panem to rebel. I think that was the essential question for me. Could she believably inspire a rebellion? Did she project the strength, defiance and intellect you would need to follow her into certain war? For me, she did.

Jennifer’s just an incredible actress. So powerful, vulnerable, beautiful, unforgiving and brave. I never thought we’d find somebody this amazing for the role. And I can’t wait for everyone to see her play it.

Thank you all for sharing in this journey and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Love,

Suzanne Collins
