John Hutcherson hungry to work with 'Games' sequel director

Hunger Games" star Josh Hutcherson doesn't have any qualms about working with a new director, Francis Lawrence ("I Am Legend") for the sequel.

"I sat down with him a couple of days ago," Hutcherson told E! News at Sunday's MTV Movie Awards. "He's such a smart guy. ...I just really like where his head is at."

Director Gary Ross, who helmed the first "Games" flick - an adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best-selling teen novel - decided not to direct the second movie, "Catching Fire."
