Still from ‘Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’
Let the Hunger Games begin! The trailer for the next instalment from the franchise, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is finally out and it looks like we should get ourselves strapped for a fun ride with lots of creepy-crawlythings, politics, meme-worthy one-liners, and some impeccable performances from Viola Davis, Peter Dinklage and the rest of the cast.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is based on Suzanne Collins’ prequel novel of the same name. The film will follow a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth), who strives to revive his family’s legacy. In the midst of his efforts, he is tasked with mentoring District 12’s tribute and Panem’s favourite, Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler). Coriolanus works with Lucy to keep her alive in the Hunger Games, and he begins to battle between good and evil.
We will get to see Jason Schwartzman as Lucretious Flickerman, a descendant of Stanley Tucci’s Caesar Flickerman. Coriolanus’ cousin, Tigris Snow, is portrayed by Hunter Schafer. Peter Dinklage portrays one of the creators of the Hunger Games, Dean Casca Highbottom, while Viola Davis plays Dr. Volumnia Gail, the head game maker of the 10th annual Hunger Games.
