Francis Lawrence offered Catching Fire's director chair

Out of the contenders to direct Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, it seems as though Lionsgate has chosen their director. This doesn't look like it's 100% confirmed just yet but it appears that I Am Legend and Water for Elephants director Francis Lawrence will direct Catching Fire.

I'm not upset about this. I was hoping for Cronenberg but this isn't a bad choice. I say bring it on.
