Gary Ross Will Not Direct Next 'Hunger Games' Film
As Lionsgate struggles to count all of its money from last month's release of 'The Hunger Games,' it appears the next installment, 'Catching Fire,' will experience a changing of the guard at director. Despite the fact that Lionsgate and Fox recently made nice and put together a schedule that would allow Jennifer Lawrence to star in sequels to both 'X-Men: First Class' and 'The Hunger Games,' it's been reported today that Gary Ross will not be returning to helm the further cinematic adventures of Katniss Everdeen. Ross, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the first installment, was said to have been in pretty intense negotiations with Lionsgate earlier this week over his salary and has now officially given his notice to the studio. 'Catching Fire' is set to begin shooting this coming fall.
What does this mean for the future of the series? Very little. 'Catching Fire' is still very much happening, and probably won't be delayed one iota by Ross' exit. That's not to marginalize the work he did on 'The Hunger Games,' he did a fantastic job, but when faced with a cash cow like this, Lionsgate is not going to let any setback derail the next movie. The good news here is that, while Ross certainly excelled during his time in the director's chair, it's not as if he left such an indelible mark on this franchise that no other filmmaker could step in. The source material still exists, Jennifer Lawrence is coming back, and it will be interesting to see how the overall visual aesthetic of the next film may change under a new director. For example, when Chris Columbus left the Harry Potter series after two movies, it allowed for Alfonso Cuaron to take over 'Prisoner of Azkaban,' which is still my favorite of the franchise. So now the question becomes, who will step in and take over for Ross?
Who would you guys like to see helming the next 'Hunger Games' movie?

Enjoyed the first one quite a bit, but like many people have said, I think the action could have been shot a lot better. BUT, I don't want them to get a director that is great with action, and terrible with the dramatic parts, they should try to find someone that can do both well.
@Amia If Nicholas Winding Refn did it I might explode. That's a great idea, I'm just not sure they'd want him to do it.

Although during the action scenes the shaky cam detracted from the experience, he knew how to film the drama parts perfectly in my opinion, so I have mix feelings about his departure.

I'm actually glad. The one thing that really bothered me about The Hungry Games was the way it was shot. It was to chaotic, and the action was lost on me with all the quick cuts. I think the next one (kind of a spoiler)..................................................deals more with adults then kids they can show more of the violence. I know it needs to keep a p-13 rating but would like to see a better representation of the brutal nature of the books.

My personal opinions- James Cameron, David Slade, Quentin Tarantino, Matthew Vaughn, Marc Webb, Rupert Wyatt, David Yates, Joel Schumacer (I know, Bat Nipples, Bat Credit Card, Fuck off). Just a few possibilities.

Alfonso Cauron and David Slade sound like interesting choices but how about Marc Webb? I'm hoping to see how he handles the Spider-Man reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man, this summer.

Yeah, Alfonso Cauron would be great for it. He can do that style of cinematography that puts you in the middle of the action without making it impossible to tell what's going on, just look at Children of Men. Plus, he'd know exactly what to trim for time and fluidity's sake. Pie in the sky, give this to Cauron too.

Lets hope the new director hates shaky cam.

This may sound strange but I would like to see David Slade take over. He has shown the range in directing drama films such as Hard Candy as well as 30 Days of Night. Yes I know he directed Eclipse as well but he has shown he is great with darker material as well as handling young actors.
I also would like to see Rupert Wyatt maybe give a shot I know he is a younger director but his debut film of The Rise of the Planet of the Apes was great and he might be the next big director in Hollywood.
