It seems like only yesterday that we were bidding The Hunger Games franchise a three-fingered farewell with the release of Mockingjay - Part 2 last month (read our review here). Then came the announcement of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:plans for prequel movies, and we realised that Lionsgate w❀ere going to do everything in their power 🍎to keep the lucrative franchise going.
At the US premiere for her latest film Joy, Katniss Everdeen herself, Jennifer Lawrence , and even she admitted that "it's too soon" for prequels to The Hunger Games, adding that "they need to let 🦩the body get 💛cold".
With Mockingjay - Part 2 still yet to complete its cinematic run, Lawrence's statements make sense. From a studio standpoint it's easy to see how they came to such a decision. However, with the prequels taking place well before Katniss' adventure, the question remains - can the franchise be as successful without Lawrence at the helm?ꦇ If Lionsgate have their way, the odds are in our favour that we'll soon find out.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 is out in UK and US cinemas now.
