It's a wrap for Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

We had previously reported that a Hunger Games prequel titled Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is in the making. It has now been announced that the production of the fantasy adventure, which began in Berlin in June earlier this year, is complete.

The news was shared by Rachel Zegler on social media. While sharing pictures from the last day of filming, the West Side Story actor wrote, "I have loved every second and that’s a wrap."

"Many many many more words come to mind but I shan’t bore you by pretending I have anything new to offer you with my thoughts. Just know I am thankful. Just know I love telling stories. Just know I am so happy with real life. Happy wrap, my songbirds," she added.

The film is directed by Francis Lawrence, who helmed the original trilogy and is based on a screenplay by Michael Arndt and Michael Lesslie. The prequel also stars  Tom Blyth, Hunter Schafer, Jason Schwartzman, Peter Dinklage, Viola Davis, Burn Gorman, Fionnula Flanagan, Isobel Jesper Jones, and Dakota Shapiro, among others.

The film is currently slated to hit screens on November 17, 2023.
