The Hunger Games by Lionsgate. When is filming due to start? Casting has not yet been announced. Also returning are franchise producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson. Michael Lesslie is currently adapted the book currently.

Michael Arndt, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Little Miss Sunshine, was previously adapting after serving as one of the writers of Catching Fire. Collins also will serve as an EP. The book focuses on year-old Coriolanus Snow who is trying to seek fortune for his family by becoming a mentor in the 10th annual Hunger Games.

He thinks his hopes are shot when he's forced to mentor Lucy Gray, the tribute from the country's poorest 12th District, until he sees how promising she turns out to be and plots to help her win. Fans of the original series pushed back before the prequel's release, arguing that the book may have attempted to make readers sympathize with the fascist leader.

However, there ultimately wasn't much in the way of sympathizing with Snow in the prequel; Collins instead shows readers how Snow was just as cruel as a teen.

Here's how Abby Monteil previously described the book in a review for Insider:. In his mind he might be a hero fighting to save Lucy Gray, but Collins makes it abundantly clear that Snow is a cold, ruthless teenager well on his way to becoming the cruel tyrant we first meet in "The Hunger Games.

The original series is set in a futuristic dystopia where a country is split into class-based districts and Katniss Everdeen, a girl from the poorest district, overcomes all odds to inspire a revolution that ultimately destroys the old order. In "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," we see the earlier days of the 12 districts and the Capitol, 64 years before the events of the original trilogy.

Francis Lawrence, who directed three of the first four films in the series — The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and parts 1 and 2 of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — was also said to be returning for the prequel, Entertainment Weekly reported at the time.

Collins will serve as executive producer on The Ballad, and adapt the screenplay with Catching Fire screenwriter Michael Arndt. Franchise producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson are also set to return for the latest installment, Deadline reported. No casting news or further release date information has yet been announced.

The first three books in Collins' bestselling series — The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay — have more than million copies in print worldwide and have been translated into 54 languages.
