The film

“The Hunger Games: A Song of Birds and Snakes” is a derivative of the original franchise, consisting of three films: “The Hunger Games”, “Catching Fire” and “Mockingjay”. The film takes place years before the events of the original franchise and stars Lucy Gray (Rachel Zegler), a young woman from District 12 who was selected to participate in the Hunger Games. She will have a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) as a mentor. He later becomes the president of Panem, the nation where the film takes place, and the greatest tormentor of Katniss, the protagonist of the main story.

The cast also includes names like Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones), Hunter Schaefer (Euphoria) and Viola Davis (Air: The Story Behind the Logo). It will be directed by Francis Lawrence, who also directed the three films in the original franchise. The script is by Michael Arndt and Michael Lesslie.

The work is based on the book of the same name by American writer Suzanne Collins.
