The Hunger Games Prequel’s New Snow Prologue Confirms Our Worst Fears About The Movie

The The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds and Snakes movie will include a prologue scene that wasn’t included in the book, and this could be bad news for the film adaptation. The prequel novel to the popular Hunger Games book series by Suzanne Collins achieved a delicate balance with its central character, Coriolanus Snow. Having been the villain of Katniss’ story, it was important that “Coryo” not be too sympathetic or redeemed in the prequel. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes book handled this perfectly, but it will be a far more difficult task for the screen adaptation. Unfortunately, it already looks like things are headed in a dangerous direction.
