31.05.2022 - 18:09 / thewrap.com
Fresh off her commanding performance in Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated “West Side Story” (and ahead of starring roles in “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” and Disney’s live-action “Snow White”), Rachel Zegler has been tapped by Lionsgate to lead “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” as Lucy Gray Baird for director Francis Lawrence and producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson. The prequel film in the franchise that has grossed over $3 billion globally is based on the best-selling novel by Suzanne Collins and slated to hit theaters on November 17, 2023.The film’s official synopsis is as follows: “Years before he would become the tyrannical President of Panem, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is the last hope for his fading lineage, a once-proud family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol.
With the 10th annual Hunger Games fast approaching, the young Snow is alarmed when he is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird, the girl tribute from impoverished District 12. But, after Lucy Gray commands all of Panem’s attention by defiantly singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to turn the odds in their favor.
Uniting their instincts for showmanship and newfound political savvy, Snow and Lucy’s race against time to survive will ultimately reveal who is a songbird, and who is a snake.”Zegler herself teased her character on Twitter recently, with a tweet where every word’s first letter spelled out her character’s name (truly, a Taylor Swift move if there ever was one). Fans caught on but the official announcement was held until now.listen up…..
