The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping trailer wants you to break the machine and be remembered
Reign Over Me
Welcome to CinemaCon week! There will be no shortage of exciting movie announcements with the Las Vegas event running and Lionsgate has just released a new trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping. Although the film serves as a prequel, there is already an uprising being planted with the new trailer and poster preaching to “break the machine” and “change the games.” You can take a look at the new trailer in the embed above.
Plot details on Sunrise on the Reaping
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping revisits the world of Panem and follows young Haymitch Abernathy (Zada) twenty-four years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the Fiftieth Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.
The last installment of the franchise, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, was also a prequel, showcasing the rise of a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) during the 10th Annual Hunger Games.
The cast of Sunrise on the Reaping
Sunrise on the Reaping stars Whitney Peak (Hocus Pocus 2) as Lenore Dove Baird, Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire) as Maysilee Donner, Ben Wang (Karate Kid: Legends) as Wyatt Callow, and Glenn Close (Wake Up Dead Man) as Drusilla Sickle. Fans can also look forward to the return of Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. Given that the film is a prequel to the originals, Lawrence and Hutcherson are likely to have limited roles. The novel by Suzanne Collins may offer clues about how the actors will be used, as it features an epilogue in which Haymitch tells Katniss and Peeta about his past.
Additional cast includes Elle Fanning (A Complete Unknown) as Effie Trinket, Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain) as Caesar Flickerman, Jesse Plemons (Civil War) as Plutarch Heavensbee, Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Mufasa: The Lion King) as Beetee, Ralph Fiennes (Conclave) as President Snow, Lili Taylor (Daredevil: Born Again 2) as Mags, Maya Hawke (Stranger Things) as Wiress, and Joseph Zada (Invisible Boys) as Haymitch Abernathy.
Francis Lawrence, who has helmed every installment of the franchise except for the first movie, directed Sunrise on the Reaping from a script by Billy Ray based on the novel by Collins. The film is set to hit theaters on November 20.
