The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes - Francis Lawrence's joy at returning to Panem

Francis Lawrence is interviewed for The Hunger Games The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the prequel to Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games. Directed by Francis Lawrence, Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Josh Andrés Rivera, Jason Schwartzman and Viola Davis star. Scott Davis asks the questions.
The movie 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 favour. 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.
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 and Snakes will be released on the 17th of November, 2023.

I love that Suzanne called him immediately after almost finishing the book. Goes to show how much she really trusts him with her material. That’s a huge compliment, and it makes me even more excited for this film ❤
