I already felt like the Hunger Games franchise was squeezing the books for every drop of money when the split the last book adaptation into two movies.

Now, here’s some news about the prequel…

Well, I should go read this book to see if the story within is any good.

May the odds be ever in my favor.

Francis Lawrence, who helmed three of Lionsgate’s “Hunger Games” movies, is returning to direct a feature adaptation of author Suzanne Collins’ “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,” a prequel novel to Collins’ bestselling “Hunger Games” trilogy. Original producer Nina Jacobson is also returning, with her Color Force partner Brad Simpson, and Michael Arndt (“Catching Fire”) will adapt the screenplay from a treatment written by Collins, who will also serve as an executive producer.
