Gary Ross, the director and co-writer of the megahit THE HUNGER GAMES, is playing hardball with production company Lionsgate over his fee to return for the sequel, CATCHING FIRE. Here's a free tip for Lionsgate: The Hunger Games is entertaining in spite of, not because of, Gary Ross' direction. I can't think of one single moment in the film where I said "Wow, that's a great shot!" or "This is paced really well". The audience will be there no matter who directs it, so just get someone who knows where to point the camera, and the momentum of the story should carry it.
Watched the pilot for JUSTIFIED. Cute, but it needs to get a lot better very quickly for me to continue with it. Always good to see Peter Greene in something every few years.
