To be honest, I’m not really sure that we need a film version of the prequel to The Hunger Games.  The first two Hunger Games adaptations were excellent but the two-part conclusion was a bit of a bore.  The only thing that really set The Hunger Games apart from any of the other YA dystopian adaptations out there was the presence of actors like Jennifer Lawrence, Donald Sutherland, Woody Harrelson, and Philip Seymour Hoffman and none of them are going to be in the prequel.

That said, everything gets a prequel nowadays and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is due to be released in November of this year.  So, for all of you who were like, “I wish I knew more about President Snow’s youth,” have at it!

Here’s the just-released second trailer:
