We’re now less than 2 months away from the release of The Hunger Games‘ prequel film, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and the excitement is really starting to build up! Check out the newest official trailer that was just released.
It does seem like it’s been a minute since we’ve thought about District 12 and tributes and revolutions, and like all dystopian-like stories, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, much like its predecessor, may seem a little too far left of center, it can still us about humankind and our follies.
About the movie:
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.
THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes stars Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Jason Schwartzman, Viola Davis, Hunter Schafer, and Peter Dinklage and opens in theaters November 17th.
