“The Hunger Games” is a massive hit, and now the sequel, “Catching Fire” has a director. After Gary Ross couldn’t do it, they went with “I Am Legend” and “Water for Elephants” director Francis Lawrence, who looks here like Frederick Zoller of “Inglourious Basterds”. He seems like a good successor to us, ’cause “The Hunger Games” kinda played out like part “I Am Legend” and part “Water for Elephants”.

Robert DeNiro had some interesting stuff to say at the Tribeca Film Festival. Most interesting to us is that he’s working on a script for a sequel to “Midnight Run”. We at The Movie Guys LOVE that film, so the idea’s either intriguing or horrible. We’re still mulling it over. And that isn’t the only revelation he shared in the Judd-Apatow-monitored conversation. Read all about it HERE.
