For those of you who can’t wait to see the next one The Hunger Games prequel films, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Lionsgate has released a new featurette that takes you behind the scenes of the film. The video is titled “Welcome Back to Panem” and sheds further light on the story, which takes place 64 years before Katniss volunteered as tribute and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical president of Panem.
The video offers new footage from the film along with interviews with the crew that offer insights into the story the film will tell. It also shows some of the things that helped bring this story to life on the big screen.
Movie stars Rachel Zegler as Lucy Gray Baird and Tom Blyth as Coriolanus Snow, an ambitious boy who eventually becomes the tyrannical leader of the dystopian country of Panem. Even though I’m a fan of The Hunger Games, for some reason I’m not very interested in this prequel story. Regardless, there are fans who are excited about it.
The film follows “a young Coriolanus who represents the last hope for his declining lineage, the once proud Snow family, fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, a tribute from poor District 12,” the synopsis reads. “But after Lucy Gray’s charms captivate the public of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to change their fate. With everything he’s worked for hanging in the balance, Snow teams up with Lucy Gray to tip the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow embarks on a race against time to survive and discover whether he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.
The supporting cast includes Viola Davis in the role of Dr. Volumnia Gaul, Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andres RiveraAND Jason Schwartzmann.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is headed by the franchising director Francesco Lorenzo and will be released in theaters on November 17, 2023.
