‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping’ Casts Joseph Zada As Haymitch Abernathy, Whitney Peak As Lenore Dove Baird
'The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping' has locked deals with cast members Joseph Zada and Whitney Peak, Deadline can announce.
“ The Hunger Games franchise has long been a launching pad for remarkable young actors, and Jo and Whitney carry that legacy forward with incredible heart, depth, and fire,” said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-President Erin Westerman. The story centers on 16-year-old Haymitch, a clever and resourceful boy from District 12, who’s unexpectedly chosen for this edition of the games, which will feature a deadly twist: twice the number of tributes, with 48 children sent into the arena to battle for their lives. Best known for starring in Max’s Gossip Girl reboot and Hocus Pocus 2, Peak will next be seen as the lead in Sony’s upcoming shark thriller Shiver opposite Phoebe Dynevor, as well as alongside Liam Neeson and Teresa Palmer in 4 Kids Walk into a Bank for Amazon MGM’s Orion.
