Harrelson 'devastated' after director left 'Hunger Games' sequel

Woody Harrelson was "devastated" when Gary Ross pulled out of directing 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'.

The 51-year-old actor plays middle-aged drunk and winner of the 50th Hunger Games Haymitch Abernathy in the movie franchise, and while he was disappointed to hear the filmmaker would not be helming the sequel to this year's 'The Hunger Games', he "couldn’t be happier" with Francis Lawrence taking on the role.
