After a fast but clean exhaustive explore, Lionsgate has selected Francis Lawrence to lead the Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire.
Informants say Lawrence will obtain a authorised offer Thursday afternoon. If he admits and a deal can be worked out, he will replace Gary Ross, who directed the tremendously booming 1st instalment of the enfranchisement.
The hunt has been quick and angry, with the area pinning down to Lawrence, director of I'm Legend and Water for Elephants, and Bennett Miller, who helmed the Oscar-nominated Brad Pitt baseball movie Moneyball. Both directors met with the studio apartment Thursday, according to informants, and Lionsgate executives have made their pick.
