This is why 'Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes' will be a standalone film.
In an era where single books have spun off into an entire film series — The Hobbit movies come to mind — it's safe to assume that maximizing the total movie count has become something of a standard operating procedure. However, director Francis Lawrence, who helmed the upcoming The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes says that his dystopian prequel will not follow this trend, and will instead tell a complete story in one movie.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY No. Right now, it's a single, stand-alone movie that takes place 65 years before the first movie in the original series. It's focused on Coriolanus Snow, the Donald Sutherland character, as a young man. I mean, honestly, unless Suzanne writes another one, it's a stand-alone. We did it as one. We didn't split it. It's one long movie.
The question is understandable, of course, as the original films, which starred Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson were not immune to the book-splitting phenomenon. The third book in the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay, was split into two movies — both of which were directed by Lawrence. However, it will be a treat for audiences to sit down to The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes next fall and not have things end on a cliffhanger.
