User blog:Kate.moon/Francis Lawrence Director of Catching Fire

After the sad news that Gary Ross decided not to direct Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, Francis Lawrence has been named the new director for Catching Fire.

As of yesterday, Lawrence and (allegedly) Bennett Miller were the final two directors for the hot franchise, and EW just announced today that Lawrence will be directing Catching Fire. Lawrence is known for recent movies such as I Am Legend and Water for Elephants.
