Arndt Takes Over Catching Fire Script

Little Miss Sunshine writer  Michael Arndt is in talks to re-work the script for the next film in "The Hunger Games" saga "Catching Fire" reports Heat Vision.


"Slumdog Millionaire" scribe Simon Beaufoy had signed on to originally go ahead and adapt author Suzanne Collins' next novel in the series a while back when Gary Ross was attached to direct.  Since Francis Lawrence has replaced Ross, a new script is being commissioned.

Arndt will need to work fast - Catching Fire already has a set release date of Nov. 22, 2013, and needs to finish shooting by December so that star actress Jennifer Lawrence can start work on Fox's in-development as yet Untitled X-Men First Class Sequel in January.
