It was announced last week that Francis Lawrence had been chosen to direct the follow-up to The Hunger Games.  Hutcherson, who was recently honored at the annual GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles, insisted that he is looking forward to meeting the new addition. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m excited to meet him,&amp;quot; Hutcherson told The Hollywood Reporter. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve heard amazing things about him, so it&amp;#039;s gonna be a fun ride.&amp;quot; Hunger Games director Gary Ross stepped down from helming Catching Fire after he realized he did not have sufficient time to prep the movie to his satisfaction.
