The Hunger Games series of four films, adapted from Suzanne Collins’ dystopian-sci-fi novel and depicting the rebellion of a young girl named Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a very different order from the world we know, against the system, is among the most popular screen adaptations. . Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks and Woody Harrelson are the leading roles in the series, which has been talked about a lot with its films released between 2012 and 2015 and has a wide fan base from all over the world.
Seven years after its last movie, now comes a new movie set in the Hunger Games universe. As the production company Lionsgate reported, the movie The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which will focus on the events described in the main series, will meet with its fans next year.
The new movie will focus on the ‘evil’ of the Hunger Games franchise
Although The Hunger Games is a four-film series, the films are actually based on a three-book series . However, writer Collins later decided to expand the Panem universe, and on top of that, he quadrupled the series by publishing another book called The Ballad of Birds and Snakes in 2020. In this book, where the new movie will be adapted, Collins focused on the teenage years of Coriolanus Snow, the ‘villain’ of the original story, played by the famous actor Donald Sutherlans.
Before the book even hit the shelves, Lionsgate announced that it was working on the movie adaptation. Now, it has been announced when Francis Lawrence, the director of the Hunger Games quartet, will once again sit in the director’s chair, and when The Song of Birds and Snakes will hit the theaters. Lionsgate announced the release date of the movie as November 2023.
As for the cast of the movie, which is expected to start shooting this year, nothing is known for now. However, considering that The Hunger Games is one of the most successful productions of Lionsgate, it would not be wrong to say that a very big project awaits us.
