"The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" is an adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best-selling prequel book of the same name.
Starring Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler, the movie shows Coriolanus Snow's (Blyth) rise to power in Panem decades before the first installment in the franchise.
To adapt the over-500-page book, the movie contains many changes from its source material. Some were made for time while other adjustments accommodated for characters nixed from the live adaptation.
