CONFIRMED: Gary Ross Won't Direct CATCHING FIRE
After it was revealed earlier that the adaptation of the second Hunger Games novel was to begin production this fall, it's been confirmed that director Gary Ross will not return to helm the upcoming sequel.
Ironically, The Playlist also notes that "it will be something he [Ross] has written that will earn him a better payday that he would've received on Catching Fire." The search is currently on for a new director. 127 Hours' Simon Beaufoy has written the script, while the main cast from the first film (Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, etc.) have all signed on for future sequels.
Catching Fire is slated to hit theaters November 22nd, 2013.
