While hit novel-to-film adaptations like Harry Potter and Twilight tapped a host of different directors for their respective series, the producers of The Hunger Games are sticking with one filmmaker for their remainder instalments.
Film, TV and music video director Francis Lawrence — currently working on the second Hunger Games film Catching Fire — has signed on to helm the dystopian tale's two-part finale Mockingjay as well.
Gary Ross directed the first instalment The Hunger Games, adapted from Suzanne Collins' bestselling young-adult novel trilogy. Despite its success — the teen-oriented thriller surpassed $600 million US at the worldwide box office — Ross decided against returning to the blockbuster series, citing the tight production schedule for the next film.
Lawrence, no relation to series star Jennifer Lawrence, stepped into the director's chair for Catching Fire earlier this spring.
The Hunger Games revolves around a young heroine named Katniss Everdeen and her place in a growing rebellion against the corrupt, tyrannical regime leading her country.
Catching Fire is slated to hit theatres Nov. 22, 2013. Mockingjay Part One is expected to follow in November 2014, with Part Two set for release in November 2015.
