AceShowbiz - Katniss' saga may continue on the big screen after "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2". In an interview with MTV News, director Francis Lawrence hinted that there might be more movies coming after the fourth installment. "Everybody is thinking about it, and talking about it," he said.
"I just think that one has to go into that world carefully. Because I think a huge part of what makes the stories great is that it was really built on this idea of the consequence of war, and you have an amazing character like Katniss at the center of it," the director explained.
"And so to just say, 'Oh, we're still in the Hunger Games world,' I think is really risky, and you need to make sure that you have something new to say, and either new characters need to be created that are just as compelling as Katniss." He added, "It's a tricky thing, but I'm definitely open to talking about it, and I think everybody's thinking about it. Everybody loves the world and the ideas."
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1" arrived November 21 in the U.S. The second part will follow a year later on November 20. Both are directed by Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence is back as Katniss, Liam Hemsworth as Gale and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta.
