The Hunger Games: The ballad of songbirds & snakes /
Hunger Games:
Based on the book of the same name by Suzanne Collins. Directed and produced by Francis Lawrence ; produced by Nina Jacobson ; screenplay by Michael Lesslie and Michael Arndt. Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Viola Davis, Hunter Schafer, Fionula Flanagan, Peter Dinklage. Experience the story of The Hunger Games 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as Tribute, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem in THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES. The new big-screen adventure follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth), the last hope for the once-proud Snow family, whose failing lineage has spelled a fall from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow reluctantly accepts the assignment to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) a Tribute from the impoverished District 12 in the 10th Hunger Games. But after Lucy Gray's charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift both their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favour. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal whether he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake. THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES offers an original landscape that takes the series into uncharted territory while remaining thematically connected to the other films in the franchise. The prequel examines Panem's past and unearths all the rich history referenced in the previous films through the eyes of a young Coriolanus Snow, whose story becomes the through line across all previous Hunger Games films.
