Glenn Close Is Unrecognizable in ‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping’ Teaser Trailer
The odds were in Suzanne Collins‘ favor when filmmakers adapted her latest book.
After all, the Hunger Games author—who lives out of the spotlight, without social media—broke her cover to give her review of the series’ upcoming prequel movie Sunrise on the Reaping. And even though she was not a producer on the film, she believes that their elaborate creative process behind adapting her 2025 prequel book for the screen felt like a tribute to the fantasy world she started 20 years ago.
“I could not be more excited for you to see The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping,” Collins said in a message to her fans Nov. 13, shared to the movie’s Instagram. “Director Francis Lawrence and company have put the finishing touches on a vibrant and devastating adaptation of the novel, leaving me with the happy job of singing its praises.”
And in recounting the making of Haymitch Abernathy’s origin story before the original trilogy, the 64-year-old couldn’t help but praise Woody Harrelson‘s reprisal of the beloved character as well as Joseph Zada, who plays his younger counterpart in the movie.
