Deadline is reporting that, according to several sources, Gary Ross is not out as director of Catching Fire. While negotiations with Lionsgate are ongoing, Ross is currently on a family vacation, and a decision is expected to be made soon.

Writes Deadline:

Despite reports that have spread like wildfire on showbiz websites, we hear from multiple sources close to Catching Fire that director Gary Ross has not formally withdrawn from The Hunger Games sequel. Ross is off on a family vacation and couldn’t be reached, but these internet reports that described his withdrawal as definitive are simply not accurate.

This would, of course, directly contradict previous reports stating Ross had withdrawn from helming Catching Fire.

We have reached out to Lionsgate for comment and will be sure to update as soon as any additional information is known.
