Lionsgate has released a set of fourteen character posters for the latest film in the Hunger Games franchise: Sunrise On The Reaping. It's the story of Haymitch Abernathy's journey through the Hunger Games, which, to me, is the saddest tale in the series. First up, the characters associated with District 12. Joseph Zada stars as young Haymitch Abernathy, a tribute from District 12.

Whitney Peak as Lenore Dove, a Covey girl from District 12.

McKenna Grace as Maysilee Donner, a tribute from District 12.

Ben Wang as Wyatt Callow, a tribute from District 12.

Glenn Close as Drusilla Sickle, the tribute escort for District 12.

Billy Porter as Magno Stift, the uncaring stylist for District 12.

Elle Fanning as Effie Trinket, who hopes to become the escort for District 12.

Next up, the characters from the Capitol. First is Ralph Fiennes as President Coriolanus Snow.

Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman, the over-the-top television host of the Hunger Games.

Jesse Plemmons as Plutarch Heavensbee, the man who will eventually become pivotal in the downfall of the Capitol.

And finally, the Victors and an unexpected tribute. Lili Taylor as Mags Flanagan, a former Victor from District 4 who has become a mentor for District 12.

Maya Hawke as Wiress, a former Victor from District 3 who has become a mentor for District 12.

Kelvin Harrison Jr as Beetee Latier, a former Victor from District 3 who is desperate to save his son.

Percy Daggs IV as Ampert Latier, Beetee's son and a tribute from District 3.

The final trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping has arrived and it is the most intense one yet. Haymitch's story is honestly the saddest one of the series, but it is also the beginning of the revolution.

Here's the official synopsis from Lionsgate:

"The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" follows sixteen-year-old Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada) from District 12, beginning on the morning of the reaping for the 50th Annual Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell, the biggest Games yet with twice as many tributes.

Set in the world of Panem 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, the story follows Haymitch into the arena, where he forms an unlikely alliance with fellow tribute Maysilee Donner (Mckenna Grace) and joins a coalition determined to challenge the Capitol’s control under President Snow (Ralph Fiennes). As the competition unfolds, Haymitch risks everything to take down the Games from within the arena — setting in motion the rebellion that will change Panem forever.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping arrives in theaters on November 20th.

The first trailer for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes has arrived and it looks incredible. As with the previous films, it looks like this one will stick pretty closely to the book, which is fantastic. I can't wait to see it!

Here's the official synopsis from Lionsgate:

Experience the story of THE HUNGER GAMES — 64 years before Katniss Everdeen volunteered as tribute, and decades before Coriolanus Snow became the tyrannical President of Panem.

 

THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES follows a young Coriolanus (Tom Blyth) who is the last hope for his failing lineage, the once-proud Snow family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With his livelihood threatened, Snow is reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after Lucy Gray’s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.
