  "summary": "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, a prequel to the original series, has a new trailer that shows Haymitch Abernathy's experience as a tribute for District 12. The film, set 24 years before the events of the original trilogy, follows Haymitch's fight against the Capitol. According to Business Insider, it will premiere on November 20, 2026.\n\nJoseph Zada plays a younger version of Haymitch Abernathy, and in the trailer, he says, “We‘re not animals to kill for their entertainment.“ The film is based on Suzanne Collins' 2025 novel of the same name and is directed by Francis Lawrence.\n\nThe 50th Hunger Games, in which Haymitch participated, was a Quarter Quell, a supersized battle royale with four tributes from each district. According to Mashable, Haymitch's games were an even more horrifying spectacle than usual. The film also stars Jesse Plemons, Elle Fanning, Kieran Culkin, Mckenna Grace, Whitney Peak, Maya Hawke, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Ralph Fiennes, and Glenn Close.",
