Director Steven Soderbergh ("Ocean's 11," "Traffic") has joined "The Hunger Games" production as second unit director.
Entertainment Weekly today confirmed earlier reports Soderbergh was helping out the project.
“It’s true he’s shooting two days of second unit,” director Gary Ross told EW. “He’s one of my best friends and we all help each other a little bit on these things.”
In addition to his work here, Soderbergh produced Ross' 1998 film "Pleasantville."
Ross also gave EW an update on where filming is on the adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best selling trilogy.
“We’ve already done a lot of action-y stuff,” Ross said. “We’ve burned down a forest, we’ve had the fire sequence, we blew up this pyramid of stuff that went 150 feet up in the air, and we had suitcases flying over a quarter of a mile.”
The cast for "The Hunger Games" includes Jennifer Lawrence ("Winter's Bone"), Josh Hutcherson ("Bridge to Terabithia"), Donald Sutherland ("The Mechanic") Lenny Kravitz ("Precious"), Woody Harrelson ("Zombieland"), Liam Hemsworth ("The Last Song"), Elizabeth Banks ("The Next Three Days"), Paula Malcomson ("Sons of Anarchy"), Wes Bentley ("American Beauty"), Stanley Tucci ("The Lovely Bones") and newcomer Willow Shields ("Beyond the Blackboard").
The film is set for a March 23, 2012, release.
