An Iconic Dystopian Franchise Just Revealed Its Next Era
"Sunrise on the Reaping follows Haymitch (Joseph Zada), a young boy from District 12 who serves as a Tribute for the 50th annual Hunger Games, which is also the second Quarter Quell. He leaves behind his girlfriend, Lenore Dove Baird (Whitney Peak), and ventures to the Capitol, where the artifice of the Hunger Games is more apparent than ever - some Tributes are even replaced with body doubles."
"It's been a decade since we last saw Katniss Everdeen on the silver screen, but The Hunger Games franchise is just getting started. After making a big return with the prequel movie The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the next installment, Sunrise on the Reaping, is a "midquel," set 24 years before the original Hunger Games movies, as opposed to Songbirds and Snakes ' 64 years."
Sunrise on the Reaping is a midquel set 24 years before the original Hunger Games films, focusing on Haymitch Abernathy as a District 12 Tribute in the 50th Hunger Games, the second Quarter Quell. Haymitch leaves girlfriend Lenore Dove Baird and travels to the Capitol where the Games' artifice is overt — some Tributes are replaced with body doubles. The cast includes young versions of Effie Trinket, Plutarch Heavensbee, and Caesar Flickerman. The film connects Haymitch's survival and relationships to the later revolution and follows a roster of tributes revealed in a new teaser trailer.
