‘The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes’ trailer makes child death matches retro
The official trailer has arrived for The Hunger Games prequel The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, giving us a look at a new round of child death matches with retro theming.
Set 64 years before The Hunger Games, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes follows future Panem president and series antagonist Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth). Still only 18 years old, Snow is assigned to be a mentor during the 10th Hunger Games, tasked with guiding District 12 tribute Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) in the arena.
The film also stars Peter Dinklage, Viola Davis, and Euphoria‘s Hunter Schafer.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes arrives in theatres Nov. 17.

Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes Trailer Introduces A Very Different Battle Royale
The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes takes us back more than six decades before Katniss Everdeen fought in her first Hunger Games, and as we see in the first trailer released on Thursday evening, the filmmakers gave the film a very retro look indeed.
The art style of the film, which tells the story of the future President Snow mentoring a Hunger Games contestant when he was much younger, takes a hard turn from the retro-futuristic look of the original four films, draping everything with a fascinating early-to-mid 20th Century aesthetic.
