- CATCHING FIRE
Just a day after director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) was
confirmed to direct Lionsgate's Catching Fire, based on the second book in
Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" series, The Hollywood Reporter is
saying that Oscar-winning Little Miss Sunshine and Toy Story 3 writer Michael
Arndt is in talks to do some writing on the original screenplay written by
another Oscar-winning writer, Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire).
The sequel to the movie that's currently grossed $600
million worldwide is looking for a late summer start to allow Jennifer Lawrence
to keep her commitment to appear in the 20th Century Fox sequel to X-Men: First
Class, and if Arndt signs on, he will have to work hard to get the script ready
in time for that planned start.

It may not be a coincidence that Arndt recently did work on
Disney's Order of the Seven, which Francis Lawrence for many years was attached
to direct.
