"While production is underway, we couldn't be more excited about how this cast has come together and we are delighted to welcome Peter Dinklage to Panem.

Peter isn't just a fan-favorite actor who brings a commanding presence to every role he plays.

He is one of the best actors in the world.

He will bring tremendous and charismatic authority to the important role of Dean of the Academy,” said Nathan Kahane, president of Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group, which is producing the project.

Another “Snow”

We already know the story of the film, since it should broadly repeat that of the book.

The frame will therefore focus on Coriolanus Snow (played by Tom Blyth), long before he became the tyrannical president of Panem, when he was only 18 years old.

As the Hunger Games approach, he will have to take Lucy Gray Baird (played by Rachel Zegler) under his wing.

The new film will be released in theaters on November 17, 2023, and filming is about to begin.

“Dean Highbottom is one of the most powerful people in Snow's life.

As the austere and vindictive ruler of the games, he sets the rules that will determine all aspects of Coriolanus' fate.

I'm thrilled that Peter is bringing it to life,” said Francis Lawrence, the film's director.
