Billy Ray Returning To ‘Hunger Games’ Franchise, Will Adapt Prequel ‘Sunrise On The Reaping’ – CinemaCon


'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' Being Adapted by Billy Ray

Ray adapted the first Hunger Games film which grossed $695M at the global box office, $408M of that stateside; that pic launching Jennifer Lawrence as a marquee draw. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is being directed by franchise mainstay Francis Lawrence and produced by Color Force’s Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson. Those games are an important event in the canon as the victor was Haymitch Abernathy, the only winner from District 12 before Lawrence’ Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta Mellark’s tie win.
