Gary Ross Now Back In Talks For 'Catching Fire'

April 9, 2012

First he's off, now he's back on – it was reported last week that “The Hunger Games” director Gary Ross wouldn't be returning to helm the sequel “Catching Fire.” Looks like everyone spoke too soon.

Looks like Ross is back to the negotiating table for Round 2 of directing talks for the sequel. The problem is going to be the tight pre-production window of four months before they can start shooting.

Jennifer Lawrence is contractually obligated to the “X-Men: First Class” sequel shooting in January. That contract supersedes her Hunger Games one, so Catching Fire will have to shoot in August. Ross still hasn't signed on yet because of that tight schedule. Money is probably another issue, but I'm sure we'll find out more by this week.

    I think that a World's Finest would be a great lead in to Justice League. Introduce the 2 main characters to each other & at the end they decide it's time to put the team together.

    Gily violence been apart of this nation way back since the cold wars. Specially when it come to its movies and even tv shows. Probably before you was born, I agree with Andrew if you don't like the violence then don't have your kids watch it. It is a very simple action to do but people always want to complain. So I say this to all others that have the same issue with violent movies or tv show, get it through your head if you don't like it don't watch it and stop the complaining!
