Francis Lawrence

Francis Lawrence (born March 26, 1971) is an Austrian-born American film director, film producer, television producer, television director, and music video director. He is best known for directing three of the four films in the Hunger Games film series.

Life and career

Lawrence was born to American parents in Vienna, Austria. His father is a Theoretical Physicist who taught at California State University, Northridge and his mother is V.P. Technology at a PR agency. He moved to Los Angeles at the age of three. Lawrence worked as 2nd assistant camera on the feature Pump Up the Volume directed by Allan Moyle prior to earning his bachelor's degree in film production at Loyola Marymount University Film School. He went on to work as first AD on the feature Marching out of Time directed by Anton Vassil in 1993. Francis Lawrence then joined ex-classmate Mike Rosen in co-directing music videos. Lawrence directed his first music video for Michael Blakey, president of Atico Records and Tidal Force drummer for that band's single, A Man Rides Through. Soon, Lawrence became known for his original and imaginative music video scripts and visual directing style.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games is a series of three adventure novels written by the American author Suzanne Collins. The series is set in The Hunger Games universe, and follows young characters Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.

The novels in the trilogy are titled The Hunger Games (2008), Catching Fire (2009) and Mockingjay (2010). The novels have all been developed into films, with the film adaptation of Mockingjay split into two parts, the second of which was released on November 20, 2015. Soundtracks have also been released for each film. The first two books in the series were both New York Times best sellers, and Mockingjay topped all US bestseller lists upon its release. By the time the film adaptation of The Hunger Games was released in 2012, the publisher had reported over 26 million Hunger Games trilogy books in print, including movie tie-in books.

The Hunger Games universe is a dystopia set in "Panem", a country consisting of the wealthy Capitol and twelve districts in varying states of poverty. Every year, children are chosen to participate in a compulsory annual televised death match called The Hunger Games.

Francis Lawrence talks about directing Catching Fire and what made him decide to stick with The Hunger Games series through Mockingjay.

Watch the Francis Lawrence Q&A; from our IMAX Screening of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2’

Watch the Francis Lawrence Q&A; from our IMAX Screening of 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2’
I’ll forever be grateful to Francis Lawrence and not just because he’s a cool person to talk to and a director I admire. I’ll be grateful because he agreed to be the first participant in our yearlong IMAX screening series. If you didn’t know, we just announced a screening series that will focus on both classic and new IMAX films. The goal is to show a film every month in Los Angeles with a filmmaker Q&A; and, when possible, do a meet-and-greet after the screening for attendees. Our first screening was The Hunger Games Mockingjay – Part 2 with director Francis Lawrence and we just announced our second screening, Captain America: The Winter Solider in 3D at IMAX headquarters in Los Angeles with Joe and Anthony Russo (click here to try for tickets). Since the majority of Collider readers won’t have the opportunity to attend these screenings, we will always record the Q&As; and make them available on the site. Which brings me to my Q&A; with Francis Lawrence, which took place after our IMAX screening of The Hunger Games Mockingjay – Part 2. Usually when I host a Q&A; after a screening you’re given about 15 to 20 minutes. Standing to one side is a studio representative and everyone is worried about getting the person to the next event. So what was great about the Q&A; with Francis Lawrence was we didn’t have a limited amount of time and I had the freedom to ask whatever I wanted without any sort of time restriction. During the wide-ranging conversation he talked about the experience of making three films in three years, deleted scenes, IMAX, the story behind the ‘Batman v Superman’ billboard in ‘I Am Legend’, getting an R rating with the MPAA over an early cut of ‘Mockingjay - Part 2’ and grappling with the MPAA in general, taking inspiration from Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’ for his sewer scenes, balancing the graphic content of the books with the PG-13 rating, the ultimate Hunger Games Blu-ray box set, and so much more. If you’re a fan of the Hunger Games franchise or Francis Lawrence, I promise you’ll enjoy watching what he had to say. Again, a huge thank you to Francis Lawrence for being the first person to participate on our IMAX screening series. I’ll always be grateful. Francis Lawrence: The pressure of making three major franchise movies in three years. What day after Thanksgiving did the family say, “When are you going back to work?” Has there been any talk about one movie from Mockingjay - Part 1 and Part 2? Has there been any more talk of the ultimate Hunger Games Blu-ray box set? How many deleted scenes are missing from Part 2 and are there a lot of deleted scenes missing from your other films? Did you ever feel there was a shot or a sequence that you wanted to do so badly but ran out of time and couldn’t do it? How filming in Hawaii for Catching Fire slowed down production. On collaborating with Jennifer Lawrence and what surprised him about her performances. Film or digital, and why? Is there an IMAX digital camera you want to use in the future? Are you thinking about using IMAX cameras in the future, and what have you seen in technology that has really impressed you? On the amount of takes he likes to do. On shooting one shot more than 100 times while filming I Am Legend. the-hunger-games-mockingjay-part-1-mahershala-ali-francis-lawrenceThe story behind the Batman v Superman billboard in I Am Legend. What he learned in filming six movies, including three Hunger Games movies. His experience working with Philip Seymour Hoffman. What is it about The Hunger Games that resonates with so many people around the world? Talking the balance of appeasing the book fans and making a movie. The scene he shot but didn’t even include in the deleted scenes of Mockingjay - Part 1. On possibly returning for the Hunger Games prequels and where he’d like to see the franchise go. Would you direct another franchise? As a director how do you know when you’re going to drop the hammer and when you’ve done it successfully? On balancing the graphic content of the books with the PG-13 rating. On getting an R rating with the MPAA over an early cut of Mockingjay - Part 2 and grappling with the MPAA in general. On designing the mutts. On taking inspiration from Ridley Scott’s Alien for his sewer scenes. What’s the most common note you give to your actors as a director? Who does he invite to his family and friends screenings? For More Collider: http://collider.com/ https://www.facebook.com/colliderdotcom

The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1: Interview with Director Francis Lawrence
A few days ago in New York City I landed a great video interview with Francis Lawrence. During our extended conversation he talked about editing Mockingjay - Part 1, deciding the right place to end the film, deleted scenes, the possibility of linking up Part 1 and 2 for a marathon-style fan screening, why he didn't use IMAX on Mockingjay, the status of Mockingjay - Part 2, and so much more. In addition, Lawrence talked about the Batman vs. Superman Easter egg in I Am Legend and how the logo is very close to what WB is using for Batman v Superman, if he has has any interest in doing another comic book movie, and more. Opening this weekend is director Francis Lawrence’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 . In the next installment, we find Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) at the forefront of the rebellion in District 13 while Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Johanna (Jena Malone) are held captive in the Capitol. Unlike the last two films which focused on surviving the games, Mockingjay – Part 1 is about the rebellion spreading throughout Panem and the way both sides play the media to gain the upper hand. It’s an extremely well done movie and fans of the franchise will not be disappointed. Joining the cast are Cressida (Natalie Dormer), Boggs (Mahershala Ali), Pollux (Elden Henson), Messalla (Evan Ross), and Castor (Wes Chatham) alongside Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman,Elizabeth Banks, Sam Claflin, and Donald Sutherland.

I AM LEGEND - Interview w/ Director Francis Lawrence

I AM LEGEND - Interview w/ Director Francis Lawrence

I AM LEGEND - Interview w/ Director Francis Lawrence
Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable, and man-made. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and maybe the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague--the Infected--lurk in the shadows...watching Neville's every move...waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered...and quickly running out of time. Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, a Weed Road/Overbrook Entertainment Production, "I Am Legend," starring two-time Oscar nominee Will Smith ("The Pursuit of Happyness," "Ali"), Alice Braga and Dash Mihok. The film is directed by Francis Lawrence. The screenplay is by Mark Protosevich and Akiva Goldsman, based on the novel by Richard Matheson. Akiva Goldsman, James Lassiter, David Heyman and Neal Moritz are the producers, with Michael Tadross, Erwin Stoff, Dana Goldberg and Bruce Berman serving as executive producers, and Tracy Torme co-producing. The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Andrew Lesnie, production designer Naomi Shohan, editor Wayne Wahrman, costume designer Michael Kaplan, and composer James Newton Howard. "I Am Legend" will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures. Digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience� with proprietary IMAX DMR� (digital re-mastering) technology, "I Am Legend: The IMAX Experience" will debut concurrently with the nationwide 35mm release in traditional theatres. FRANCIS LAWRENCE (Director) made his feature directorial debut in 2005 with the visually stylish thriller "Constantine," starring Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf and Djimon Hounsou. Growing up in Los Angeles, Lawrence wrote screenplays, shot super 8 movies and took a high school film class, which helped him decide to pursue a filmmaking career. As a Loyola Marymount University film student, he worked on his own productions throughout college, and, upon graduating, began to make music videos for a friend who owned a small record label. Lawrence has since helmed videos for some of the biggest superstars in music, winning nearly every possible award in the process. The young director was recognized in 2003 for his innovative work on Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" by the Music Video Production Association (MVPA), receiving the awards for Best Pop and Best Male Video. He has been recognized several times by the MTV Video Music Awards and received the Director of the Year Award in 2002 from the MVPA. He also won a Latin Grammy in 2002 for popular South American songstress Shakira's video "Suerte." The names of the artists with whom Lawrence has worked reads like a who's who of the contemporary music canon, also including Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, Destiny's Child, Aerosmith, Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Huston, Gwen Stefani, Jay-Z, Alanis Morissette, Black Eyed Peas, and many others. One of his most high-profile project was Will Smith's "Black Suits Coming" video for the movie "Men in Black II." The experience not only presented him with a welcome challenge, but also provided solid training ground for his smooth segue from videos to feature films. In addition, Lawrence has made his mark in the world of commercials, having created musically charged and visually stunning campaigns for major corporate names, including Gap and Coca-Cola.
