‘Catching Fire’ Finally Nabs a Director — Francis Lawrence Takes the Helm
Posted by: | Comments
The sequel to The Hunger Games now has a new director, something we have expected since Gary Ross stepped down in early April. Of course, this is great news to me considering the deepest flaw in The Hunger Games was the lack of technical quality — shaky camera to the tenth degree. I’m glad to see a competent director is taking over this beloved franchise. Not that Ross isn’t competent, because his work on Seabiscuit and Pleasantville was great, but it will be refreshing to see a new artist’s take on this series. The directing could not possibly get worse than Ross’ effort on the first film. Now Franchise Lawrence will take the lead, presenting the second film set to debut on November 22nd, 2013.

With The Avengers already making a killing overseas, there has been a lot of talk about Mark Ruffalo’s performance as Bruce Banner/Hulk. It must be a very good performance because Mark has signed a deal with Marvel to appear as The Hulk in SIX FILMS. Hit the jump to see Mark talk about his role.

Today…is a great day.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Will Be Rated PG-13

It has been quite some time that we have had any significant news on TDKR. Some would say the lack of any press, news, or viral marketing for Christopher Nolan’s last Batman film has been more than disappointing. Frustrating to say the least. Well, at least this is something.
Great News For ‘The Hunger Games’ Sequel — Gary Ross Won’t Direct
Posted by: | Comments
The picture above is Gary Ross working on The Hunger Games — it’s a funny image because you can see him using a tripod. Despite the tripod in the picture, the use of one was absent for almost the entirety of the film. Read my review of The Hunger Games and you will see my biggest gripe with the film was the amateur looking shaky camera work from Ross.
The sequel to the smash hit, Catching Fire, was inevitable. With that in mind, everyone just assumed Gary Ross would be on board for the second and third films. For the first, the man adapted the screenplay and directed. He was passionate about making a good adaption. He’s got to be on board for more right? Well now The Playlist has confirmed Gary Ross “has officially exited the franchise,” and he will not return to Panem.
