Lionsgate is still trying to find the right person to direct the sequel to THE HUNGER GAMES, CATCHING FIRE.

So which guys are being looked at for the job? Last week, a wishlist for the studio was revealed which includes David Cronenberg, Alfonso Cuaron and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (BIUTIFUL).

Now two more directors can be added to that list– Bennett Miller (MONEYBALL) and Francis Lawrence (I AM LEGEND).

In this bunch, Lawrence would be the obvious choice. Is it my choice? No, but David Cronenberg isn’t exactly the greatest fit either. I find it interesting who they do have on their wishlist. These directors have directed some wonderful films. Lawrence is the only one who is sort of hit or miss. I have a feeling David Slade will probably get added to this list as well. Don’t be surprised.

Who do you guys think would be a good fit out of this bunch?
