Hunger Games fans, rejoice! The highly anticipated film hasn't even come out yet, and things are already looking good for the flick's sequel Catching Fire.

"They want to wait and see how this comes out and does and how much fans like it, and then hopefully we're going to start on the next one next fall," Josh Hutcherson told us at the People's Choice Awards in L.A.

But are Hutcherson's Hunger Games costars Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth on board for another flick?

"Oh, for sure," he said. "What I've seen of the first one I'm in love with, so I'm on board for however many they want to make."

Hutcherson says he hasn't seen the final cut of the flick. "I've seen little bits," he dished.

So does Hutcherson think Hunger Games has what it takes to be a bigger box office hit than Twilight?

"I don't know," he laughed. "Twilight is huge, man, and has a lot of fans. We'll see... It's an entirely different world and also we're about surviving the games and family and loyalty."

"I was never really a Twilight fanatic so I don't really know that firsthand, but I think people are really passionate about it," Hunger Games' Leven Rambin told us. "People keep reminding me it's the most anticipated movie of the year. It's so exciting for me."
