The Hunger Games producer Nina Jacobson says the prequel film will give audiences a new insight into the original movies.
Set 64 years before the first film, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes gives a fitting backstory for future Panem President Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth), as he becomes a mentor to District 12 tribute Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler). As the pair fight for her survival in the 10th annual games, we see Snow turn from an impoverished schoolboy to a more familiar, and deeply disturbing, version of the character.
