Hunger Games Fans Rejoice We Have More Coming From Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins has announced a prequel novel that will hit book store shelves in 2020, and Lionsgate is already confirming a movie adaptation. Hunger Games Fans we can rejoice at this amazing news!
The new (and still untitled) book arrives May 19, 2020 and is set in Panem 64 years before the events of the Katniss-led trilogy. In Collins’ words:
“With this book, I wanted to explore the state of nature, who we are, and what we perceive is required for our survival. The reconstruction period 10 years after the war, commonly referred to as the Dark Days — as the country of Panem struggles back to its feet — provides fertile ground for characters to grapple with these questions and thereby define their views of humanity.”
64 years back would also be around the 10th annual Hunger Games, if we are all keeping track.
The Associated Press already has word from Lionsgate, who turned the books into hit movies movies, and it sounds like a theatrical adaptation is already set in stone:
“As the proud home of the ‘Hunger Games’ movies, we can hardly wait for Suzanne’s next book to be published. We’ve been communicating with her during the writing process and we look forward to continuing to work closely with her on the movie.”
While I was not a fan of the books, I am very much looking forward to seeing what Lionsgate comes up with for the prequel to the hit series.
