Josh chatted with ET Canada at the event about Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence.

“I’m not worried. I’m disappointed for sure and Gary [Ross] was disappointed too. I called him when I heard the news…I felt really bad for him and I phoned him and had literally never heard someone sound so dejected so I felt really bad for him but Francis Lawrence is extremely talented and I have heard only good things about him so I’m looking forward to seeing what he brings to the movie.”
