Well, latest update on the director fiasco: Gary Ross will NOT be returning to film, since he believes it would be impossible for him to, basically, have a decent script written in time to shoot in August. I sincerely hope that, because of his leaving, this will force Lionsgate to delay shooting of 'Catching Fire' until they can find another director.
My reason for wanting a delayed release date for 'Catching Fire' is that if they try to rush this movie, it will be bad. I haven't yet read the other two books, but I want the next three films done right, and adapted well. I do NOT want a repeat of films like Love Comes Softly or, heaven forbid, Dawn Treader which didn't even have the fortune to have decent acting.
