Lionsgate has unveiled plans for a new Hunger Games movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, based on franchise writer Suzanne Collins’ just-announced new novel.
Collins and her publisher Scholastic announced the fifth book in the series Thursday.
Set in the Hunger Games universe, Sunrise on the Reaping returns to the world of Panem 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, and timed for the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.
The studio’s adaptation of the original book by Collins saw Katniss and fellow District 12 tribute Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) as they were sent to the Capitol to fight for survival.
Meredith Wieck and Scott O’Brien will oversee the production for Lionsgate.
