Hunger Games Movie
Lionsgate Eyes Simon Beaufoy, Oscar Winning Slumdog Millionaire Writer for Catching Fire
Deadline is reporting that after the warm reception of the trailer for The Hunger Games, Lionsgate is now looking to get Simon Beaufoy onboard to write the script for the sequel, Catching Fire.
Beaufoy also wrote 127 Hours, The Full Monty and Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. Director Gary Ross was originally going to pen the script alone with Suzanne Collins, but due to the post-production schedule of The Hunger Games and the desire for a high quality second film they’re looking at getting Beaufoy on board as well.
He’s a accomplished and talented screenwriter, so I hope this works out if the rumors are true!
