Here is the first teaser of the Hunger Games prequel

The prequel film that will tell the dawn of the Hunger Games story is coming. A golden snake and nightingale that awaken from an icy torpor and immediately begin to collide: that's what you see in the first animated teaser of The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Also based on a novel by Suzanne Collins, in Italian published by Mondadori and translated as Ballad of the nightingale and the snake, this film tells the events relating to a young Coriolanus Snow, decades before the adventures lived by Katniss Everdeen interpreted by Jennifer Lawrence.

The young Coriolanus Snow, in fact, finds himself the last representative of an important family that has fallen from grace, who sees the possibility of redeeming himself in the upcoming Hunger Games. He is in fact assigned a young girl-tribute, Lucy Gray Baird, coming from the very poor District 12: when the girl manages to attract the attention of all Panem by performing a song during the "harvest" ceremony, the two form a strange alliance, combining her taste for theatricality and his political cunning. Political interests, however, and the will to assert themselves at any cost will reveal, even between the two of them, who is really a nightingale and who is a snake.
