Josh Hutcherson: Francis Lawrence Has Smart Ideas for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Josh Hutcherson, who won the Best Male Performance at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, has talked to E! during the red carpet. He dishes about Francis Lawrence, who was chosen to take over Gary Ross' seat for the Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire (November 22, 2013). Here is Josh's statement:

"I sat down with him a couple of days ago," Hutcherson told Marc Malkin from E! at the MTV Movie Awards. "He's fantastic. He's such a smart guy. He has some great ideas for the movie.

"I just really like where his head is at," he continued. "I really like him a lot."

"We talked about character development in the stories," Hutcherson said. "As you know, the second book is more complicated than the first, so we talked about the narrative. Everything he said was super smart."
