The Starvation Video games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes director Francis Lawrence on potential Haymitch and Finnick prequel film.
The Starvation Video games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will convey the franchise again to theaters with an all-new story, but when director Francis Lawrence has his means, it received’t be the final prequel film we see.
The primary film revolved across the 74th Starvation Video games, which signifies that there are a long time price of tales which may very well be informed in regards to the video games. Followers have expressed an curiosity in seeing Haymitch’s (Woody Harrelson) sport or Finnick’s (Sam Claflin) sport, and whereas Francis Lawrence can be desperate to return for an additional Starvation Video games prequel film, he informed Leisure Weekly that it might want an excellent motive to exist.
“I preferred being a part of the collection initially as a result of the tales are nice,” Lawrence mentioned. “However what was all the time gratifying was that they had been all the time about one thing. Suzanne [Collins, franchise author] all the time writes from a thematic basis. The unique ones had been all in regards to the penalties of battle. [Songbirds and Snakes is] in regards to the state of nature. That’s what makes them really feel wealthy and never superficial, and I believe it’s why they’ve stood the check of time, truthfully.“
Lawrence continued, “If Suzanne has one other thematic concept that she feels suits into the world of Panem — whether or not that’s with new individuals [or] acquainted characters [like] Finnick, Haymitch, whoever — I’d be actually excited about taking a look at it and being part of it. However I don’t have any pull of simply going, ‘I’d like to do Finnick’s video games.’ He’s an excellent character, however what’s the thematic underpinnings that make it price telling and related?“
On the finish of the day, it’s actually all as much as franchise writer Suzanne Collins. If The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is the success Lionsgate hopes it is going to be, you’ll be able to think about they’ll be knocking at her door asking if she has one other novel within the works.
The Starvation Video games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes “follows a younger Coriolanus who’s the final hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow household that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. Together with his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Grey Baird, a tribute from the impoverished District 12. However after Lucy Grey’s allure captivates the viewers of Panem, Snow sees a chance to shift their fates. With all the things he has labored for hanging within the stability, Snow unites with Lucy Grey to show the percentages of their favor. Battling his instincts for each good and evil, Snow units out on a race towards time to outlive and reveal if he’ll in the end grow to be a songbird or a snake.“
