Suzanne said in a statement to the AP, “With ‘Sunrise on the Reaping,’ I was inspired by David Hume’s idea of implicit submission and, in his words, ‘the easiness with which the many are governed by the few.’ The story also lent itself to a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The question ‘Real or not real?’ seems more pressing to me every day.”
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was made into a 2023 film starring Rachel Zegler and Tom Blyth. The original Hunger Games trilogy books were made into four movies starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth.
Find out if Jennifer would ever return to the role of Katniss Everdeen.
