Hunger Games prequel movie in the works

LOS ANGELES - Lions Gate Entertainment plans to adapt the new Hunger Games book into a prequel film, reviving a movie series that generated US$3 billion in box-office sales and made the independent studio a takeover target.

Studios are reliant on serial dramas with characters that audiences emotionally invest in over time. Lions Gate, an independent distributor, has struggled to match its success with The Hunger Games film series . A later teen dystopian series, Divergent , failed to meet sales expectations. It is not yet clear if actress Jennifer Lawrence, a major box-office draw for the first four films, will appear in the movie. The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes covers a period before her starring character, Katniss Everdeen, was born.The studio is also in the process of trying to establish a new film franchise for its 2019 murder mystery Knives Out.
