Glenn Close Is Unrecognizable in ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’ Teaser Trailer
The odds will forever be in Jennifer Lawrence’s favor.
With the Oscar winner set to briefly reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen in the prequel movie The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, director Francis Lawrence is grateful for her contribution to the series 14 years after the first Hunger Games film.
“This many movies in, we also have—which helps—the precedence of all the other amazing actors that have come before,” Francis shared during a Q&A alongside producer Nina Jacobson. “The Jen Lawrences and the Donald Sutherlands and the Philip Seymour Hoffmans and [Elizabeth] Banks.”
“So when actors come in and want to be involved, they see how many people have been involved before and the legacy of it all,” he added, “and I think are more than happy to join along.”
And that is certainly true for Sunrise on the Reaping—in theaters Nov. 20—as it brings together new faces like Joseph Zada as a young version of Woody Harrelson‘s Haymitch Abernathy, alongside seasoned veterans like Ralph Fiennes (President Snow), Kieran Culkin (Caesar Flickerman) and Glenn Close (Drusilla Sickle).
