Francis Lawrenceis most often associated with his work on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, a breakout sequel that received better reviews and grossed more internationally than its predecessor. Lawrence’s success with the film was so immense that Lionsgate entrusted him with the future of the franchise, as he has directed all three subsequent installments and will return to direct The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Although he has also worked on other genre films such as I Am Legend, Constantine, and Red Sparrow, Lawrence made a sprawling, epic romantic historical drama with his adaptation of Water for Elephants. When considering the lack of serious, adult-skewing romance films released recently, Water for Elephant feels like the type of project that Hollywood simply doesn’t have an interest in making anymore.
