Wacky Official Fan Edit Trailer for ‘THG: Sunrise on the Reaping’ Movie​

“Why do you submit to it all?” Gather rather for a brand new fan edit trailer. Lionsgate has dropped another trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping that is essentially just a TikTok remix made by an editing geek called “Areq” (@areqaep). This highly anticipated sci-fi thriller hits theaters in just over a month. A prequel to the original The Hunger Games stories, but also a sequel to the other recent The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes movie from 2023. Sunrise on the Reaping revisits the world of Panem with young Haymitch Abernathy 24 years before the events of THG, starting on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. Something major will go down that will change the games forever. With an exceptional cast: Joseph Zada as Haymitch, Jesse Plemons as Plutarch, Ralph Fiennes as President Coriolanus Snow, Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman, Elle Fanning as a young Effie Trinket, Maya Hawke as Wiress, Whitney Peak, Kelvin Harrison Jr. This fan edit also features a fun scene involving Glenn Close as Drusilla Sickle and Mckenna Grace as Maysilee Donner. The editing in this is a bit weird – I don’t like the glowing eyes gimmick much, not really from the film either. But sure, whatever it takes to bring more attention to this film! This series is still pretty dang good, don’t write it off.

Here’s the official “Fan Edit Trailer” for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, via YouTube:
