‘Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’ to Film in July, Screenwriter Billy Ray Set for Haymitch Prequel
Billy Ray, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Hunger Games" and AMC's iconic Nicole Kidman ad, has been tapped to write "Sunrise on the Reaping."
The odds were only kinda, sorta in the favor of CinemaCon attendees on Tuesday morning as Lionsgate unveiled a new logo for “The Hunger Games” prequel “Sunrise on the Reaping” to the annual trade show for movie theater owners but stopped short of offering any major details — such as cast or footage — about the new film. It starts on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, known as the Second Quarter Quell, in which Haymitch Abernathy (portrayed by Woody Harrelson in the original saga) entered the deadly arena. Lionsgate continued the “Hunger Games” film franchise with “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” starring Rachel Zegler as tribute Lucy Gray Baird and Tom Blyth as young Coriolanious Snow, which became a hit with $348 million globally in 2023.
