May the odds be ever in your favor!!!

Francis Lawrence

Recently there has been uproar over the direction of "Catching Fire" the sequel to "Hunger Games".  With Gary Ross bowing out of the franchise, Lionsgate began to search for someone to fill the empty chair.  And then finally it was narrowed down to two choices, Francis Lawrence and the "Moneyball" director, Bennett Miller.  Some credits to Lawrence (no relation to Jennifer) being "Water for Elephants" and "I am Legend". Both directors were tied to other projects but Lawrence was finally asked to be director. No word on the confirmation, but the odds are ever in his favor.
