No problem! I'm going to work on updating the OP in a bit.

Re-posting the most recent news:

The Playlist has learned that Gary Ross has officially exited the franchise and will not direct the sequel, formally giving Lionsgate and Summithis notice earlier this week, that he will not be coming back.

Though recent trade reports have spun the story as being an issue mostly about money, that’s pretty much a small part of the motivation. Ross has never been a filmmaker that repeats himself (going from satire in “Pleasantville” to horse racing drama in “Seabiscuit” and action in “The Hunger Games“) and we’re told the burning desire simply isn’t there to spend another couple of years with Katniss in the Capitol (evidently, he also liked the first book best). And while the lowball salary offer probably didn’t help, Ross already has a fairly lucrative career as a screenwriter (and rewriter) and money isn’t really the issue. Simply put, the filmmaker is looking to change things up for this next effort.

While the details on what that project will be are still coming together, we’re told it will be something he has written that (ironically) will earn him a better payday that he would’ve received on “Catching Fire.” Essentially, it’s a win-win for Ross, who gets to move on to a project he developed for this fourth feature, and will allow him to do something different.

It its sad that he is leaving.

water lilies · 04-06-2012, 06:37 PM

I'm disappointed, too. I hope his replacement will understand the series as much as Gary did.

It hasn't been confirmed by the studio yet, so I'll wait for that first.

warangel88 · 04-06-2012, 06:41 PM

I hope for the same.

But Im kind of suprise that he is leaving....if the article is true.

Editing this in...guess we'll have to wait for this to play out....

I hope they choose a good director for the next movie because that person will have to choose the actors for Finnick and Johanna.

warangel88 · 04-07-2012, 11:36 AM

and the rest of the new people.

**dive into you** · 04-07-2012, 08:51 PM

Thanks for the new thread

That's sad if Gary is really leaving.

Thanks for the news

innocent_chick · 04-09-2012, 05:20 AM

I'm pretty surprised Gary Ross is not returning. I swear I saw multiple interviews where he said that 'at this point..he was just signed on to do Hunger Games and Catching Fire' and he was also talking about how he would shoot Catching Fire differently

Hope they find a director with a good vision then

ETA: I just read the second article..oh that's a relief..will wait to hear more news on that front then

ღfaithfully · 04-09-2012, 04:35 PM

Awe sad he's not returning, he did a great job with THG
