He probably genuinely wants to continue developing one of his own projects instead of continuing a franchise. {more}

This will get Lionsgate more money as Gary Ross was against 3D conversion of his film...so maybe they convert the other films into 3D now for more revenue.

I was really impressed by Gary Ross' decisions...he seems to just work on the projects he feels passionate about instead of continuing something where his heart isn't in it as much (he only loved the first book).

Gary Ross (GAROS) officially turns down directing Hunger Games sequel 'Catching Fire' [HGAM2] RazorHawk Apr 06, 08:53

Perfect! I didn't liked him as director of HGAME. Maybe it's time to have a real director in charge... {nm} delfinasu Apr 06, 08:56

Just hope that LGF won't skimp out and be a cheapskate for this second one. BorderLand Apr 06, 09:15

Not that they weren't cheap for the first one... to clarify {nm} BorderLand Apr 06, 09:15

Please always label the source, so we can see it's from Playlist, rather than V, THR or DL. {nm} Antibody Apr 06, 09:16

How can it be official without a press release or confirmation? Maybe LGF will up their offer? {nm} Antibody Apr 06, 09:22

I think a Quentin Tarantino edition would super awesome. :P {nm} arf Apr 06, 10:11

$$$. He's already successful in his own right. {nm} Antibody Apr 06, 11:53

They should hire the director of Battle Royale {nm} HarryWarden Apr 06, 12:04

He's dead. His son made Battle Royale 2 (was horrible though) and he's still alive lol. {nm} JordenS Apr 06, 12:59

His biggest contribution is casting Lawrence b4bad Apr 06, 13:53

Come on Lionsgate, you know you want to hire Darren Bousman or James Wan. {nm} HarryWarden Apr 06, 18:32

Actually, it would be interesting to see what someone like Eli Roth would do with this material and a PG-13 rating {nm} HarryWarden Apr 06, 18:37
