Catching Fire director possibilities already being discussed

Of course this has to happen soon due to the fact that filming for Catching Fire begins this fall.

With that said, the names that are already being tossed around are David Cronenberg, Alfonso Cuarón, and Alejandro González Iñárritu.

Cronenberg:
Cosmopolis
A Dangerous Method
A History of Violence
The Fly

Cuarón:
Children of Men
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
A Little Princess
  
González Iñárritu:
Biutiful
Babel
21 Grams

Personally, out of these choices I would prefer David Cronenberg but I would be alright with Alfonso Cuarón as well. I haven't seen any of the movies that Alejandro González Iñárritu has directed so I am a bit biased in not choosing him, but if you haven't seen anything then you haven't. I think that is fair.

Gary Ross will not direct Catching Fire

Gary Ross has officially stepped out of the director's chair for Catching Fire, the upcoming sequel to The Hunger Games.
This is kind of sad. The way it sounds is that he feels they are rushing the movie a bit with the 2013 release date. Maybe he was hoping for 2014.

Gary Ross drops out of Catching Fire

This move I don't really understand, especially after the tremendous success of The Hunger Games. I just hope they get someone who knows what the fuck they are doing for both Catching Fire and Mockingjay.
