Cinema screening of 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping', the prequel film set in Panem, with Ralph Fiennes and Mckenna Grace.
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping opens at Odeon Stoke on Wednesday 18 November, and it's running every day through to 29 November, so you've got nearly two weeks to catch it if you can't make the opening night.
If you've followed the books or the films, you'll know the name Haymitch Abernathy long before you see him as a lead. This one takes us back to his own Games, set in the world of Panem 24 years before the events of the first story. It follows him into the arena, where he forms an unlikely alliance with fellow tribute Maysilee Donner and joins a coalition determined to challenge the Capitol's control under President Snow. As the competition unfolds, Haymitch risks everything to take down the Games from within the arena, setting in motion the rebellion that will change Panem forever.
On screen, Ralph Fiennes takes on the role of President Snow, and Mckenna Grace plays Maysilee Donner. It's a prequel that fills in the gaps on how Haymitch became the man we meet in the original story, and it puts the focus on the Second Quarter Quell, the particular Games he fought in. If you've always wondered what actually happened during his time in the arena, this is the one that finally spells it out.
