Woody Harrelson (Haymitch) is doing a bunch of press for his new movie Now You See Me, and inevitably the interviewer touches on Catching Fire (Yes!). Woody talks about Francis Lawrence as a director and a little about the movie:
Well, there may have been no one, other than Lionsgate execs or something, more distraught than me when Gary Ross left. I was REALLY distraught because I love that guy. But I gotta say, Francis, he's fantastic. He's just a real gentleman, he's a super fun guy, and a great, great director. I mean, really knows what he wants, really understands action. Believe me, the whole Hunger Games franchise will not suffer from having him at the helm. He's just great. I haven't seen the second one so I better save these comments 'til later. But I heard it's great.
