Lionsgate Releases First Trailer for ‘The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’


At CinemaCon, Lionsgate showed the first video for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, which is a prequel to The Hunger Games. The trailer shows more of the world than the short clips that were shown at the last convention.

The first thing you see in the trailer is Viola Davis, who will play the head game maker Volumnia Gaul. She talks about the people who made The Hunger Games.

President Snow, 64 years before Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark’s experiences, is shown in the film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’s novel of the same name.

Tom Blyth plays Snow. Rachel Zegler from “West Side Story,” Jason Schwartzman, Hunter Schafer, Peter Dinklage, and Viola Davis are also in the main group.
