Catching Fire
I guess lionsgate is really confident that hunger games is going to be a huge hit since they have already picked a release date for catching fire. Gary Ross is set to direct again and they are looking at oscar winning screenwriter Simon Beaufoy (slumdog millionaire) to pen the script. It is set for release Nov 22, 2013. I guess with no more HP or twilight sequels, that weekend now is prime for the HG franchise.
The first book was my favorite, but the second was pretty compelling as well. http://www.deadline.com/tag/catching-fire/ http://www.fandango.com/movieblog/hu...ed-673633.html |

Re: Catching Fire
Awesome. The first book was also my favorite, so I'm looking forward to the first movie the most, of course.
But I'll definitely see the rest of the trilogy.

Re: Catching Fire
I am impressed that they seem to be going for critically acclaimed talent (i.e. jennifer lawrence, the slumdog millionaire screenwriter, etc.) I wonder if they are going for oscars on this one unlike HP and twilight. I think the story is compelling enough that there is actually potential for that.

Re: Catching Fire
I know. I guess lionsgate is just really confident they have a sure fire hit on their hands.

Re: Catching Fire
I am extremely exited about them all. I am worried about all the movie ratings though. I am not quite old enough to see the movies if they are going to be rated above pg 13.

I'm very surprised that they've already confirmed CF, but I suppose already having a lot of eager fans and the HG trailer being well received made them confident that people will watch the film and want to watch the sequels.

Re: Catching Fire (2013)
So it's been confirmed that Gary Ross won't be directing CF. Any thoughts?

Re: Catching Fire (2013)
He did a good job but I didn't get the impression that he was irreplaceable. I'm sure another director can do a better job. It's just them finding that director. I'm not sure who they'll get with this type of timeline.

Re: Catching Fire (2013)
Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Constantine, Water for Elephants) has been tapped as director for Catching Fire. You can read more at http://www.deadline.com/2012/04/fran...catching-fire/. I am not entirely sure how I feel about this. It will be interesting to see who is cast for roles such as Johanna, Finnick and Plutarch.

I won't judge further until I've read it, but my impression was the sequels are more about Katniss leading an uprising then the Games...

And I am going to remain optimistic about the director. I think Catching Fire is my favorite of the three (though I love them all). Hopefully, he will do it justice. If nothing else, the special effects should be decent. ![]() |

Re: Catching Fire (2013)
Ok. Yeah I have heard that the general consensus is the 2nd is the best and the 3rd the worst because people don't like how it wrapped up.
I think I might go watch I Am Legend in it's entirety now to get a better idea of how well Lawrence might fit. In addition to movies he has also directed music videos (David Fincher started out the same btw) so I think he has a strong sense of style. Hopefully less shaky cam! ![]() A couple interesting articles- http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...3.photogallery http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/04/20/fr...-hunger-games/

![]() I think even the director from the first film said he would use less shaky cam the second time around, but I don't have a quote with me right now. Fingers crossed this is the case!
