In the last two months, Lionsgate has made significant strides on recouping from Gary Ross’ exit as director. The studio has enlisted director Francis Lawrence (Constantine, I Am Legend) to helm the project and writer Michael Arndt (Toy Story 3, Little Miss Sunshine) to crank out the screenplay for Catching Fire, The Hunger Games sequel.
Hollywood.com reports that this sequel is getting a minor tweak in its title. It will now be titled The Hunger Games: Catching Fire which seems, well, logical and ties back into the first film, the name of the best-selling books by Suzanne Collins, and film franchise.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is slated to hit theaters on November 22nd, 2013.
