The clip didn’t show any footage from the movie, which is currently in production, nor did it reveal who is cast in the film. Top secret! What we DO know is the newest installment will be produced by Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson and Francis Lawrence, and directed by Lawrence. Writers for the film include creator Suzanne Collins, along with Michael Arndt (who co-wrote The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) and Michael Lesslie.
The Lionsgate synopsis for the film reads, “Years before he would become the tyrannical president of Panem, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow sees a chance for a change in fortunes when he is chosen to be a mentor to Lucy Gray Baird, the girl tribute from impoverished District 12.”
