Hunger Games Prequel Risen! 'Songbirds and Snakes' Soars
Get ready for the blockbuster event of 2023! The Hunger Games saga is back, and it's set to captivate audiences once again with its prequel, "The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes," hitting cinemas and IMAX on November 17.
With a stellar cast featuring Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Peter Dinklage, Hunter Schafer, Jason Schwartzman, Josh Andrés Rivera, and Viola Davis, this prequel promises the intense, high-stakes action fans have come to love. Whether you're a longtime Hunger Games enthusiast or a newcomer, this movie offers an exciting entry point into the franchise.

Set 64 years before the original series, "The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" unfolds the gripping tale of the 10th Annual Hunger Games, introducing mentors for the first time to make the spectacle more engaging. This is the origin story, revealing the spark that ignited the flame and laying the foundation for everything fans adore about The Hunger Games.

Tom Blyth takes on the role of the infamous Coriolanus Snow, portrayed as an 18-year-old mentor preparing for his shot at glory in the Games. Tasked with mentoring Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), the charismatic female tribute from District 12, Coriolanus faces daunting odds, and every choice he makes has monumental consequences.

As the story unfolds inside the arena, Coriolanus grapples with the morality of following the rules versus his desire to ensure Lucy's survival at any cost. The stakes are higher than ever, with only one competitor destined to emerge alive.

In the cruel, corrupt world of Panem, "The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" explores dangerous political machinations that resonate with current-day realities. Peter Dinklage brings his magnetic intensity to the role of Casca Highbottom, the Games' inventor, while Viola Davis shines as the formidable 'villain' Dr Volumnia Gaul, the Head Gamemaker.

As Dr. Gaul, Viola Davis unleashes her evil genius by breeding Mutts—genetically modified animals that terrorize the arena. Davis's powerhouse performance adds depth to the film, showcasing why she's an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony-winning talent.

Joining the ensemble cast is Jason Schwartzman as Lucretius 'Lucky' Flickerman, the first-ever host of The Hunger Games, and Hunter Schafer, who brings back the glamour of Effie Trinket as the stylish Tigris Snow.

Rachel Zegler, known for her role in Shazam!, takes on the key role of Lucy Gray Baird, central to the 10th Hunger Games. Fans have speculated about her connection to Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist famously played by Jennifer Lawrence.

Josh Andrés Rivera, previously seen alongside Rachel Zegler in West Side Story, plays Sejanus Plinth, mentor of the male tribute of District 2.

With such a star-studded lineup and a plot that delves into the heart of Panem's darkness, "The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" promises an unmissable cinematic experience. Don't miss out—book your tickets now for the opening weekend starting November 17 in cinemas and IMAX!
