(thunder rumbling)
00:02
How tantalizing to see all your shining young faces
00:09
on this auspicious day.
00:10
I am Dr. Volumnia Ghaul, your humble head game maker
00:16
in charge of the War Department
00:18
and all its affiliated concerns.
00:21
I am honored to introduce to you
00:24
the creator of the Hunger Games themselves,
00:28
Dean Casca Highbottom.
00:31
I have summoned you all here today
00:33
for the 10th annual reaping ceremony
00:36
in which we choose two children from each district
00:39
to throw into the capital arena
00:42
to fight to the death in the Hunger Games.
00:45
I am here to tell you that there has been a change this year.
00:49
One final assignment to prove your worth.
00:53
It's a story that takes place 64 years
00:54
before the first installment of the movies
00:57
and focuses on young Snow.
01:00
Look at you,
01:00
your makeshift shirt and your too tight shoes
01:04
trying desperately to fit in
01:07
when I know the Snows don't have a pot to piss in.
01:11
Snow is being groomed to become the man he becomes.
01:16
As a mentor, your role is to turn these children
01:19
into spectacles, not survivors.
01:22
Persuade them to perform for the camera.
01:27
Lucy Gray, the one who Snow becomes the mentor for
01:31
and also falls in love with,
01:32
there's a very naturalistic quality to her,
01:35
but she's a charmer, she's a musician,
01:37
she's a performer, she's kind of the anti-catniss.
01:40
She's part of the Covey,
01:41
this kind of roving band of musicians.
01:45
Snow's never met anybody like her.
01:47
That romance between them makes Snow question
01:51
everything he was raised to believe.
01:55
I think there's a natural goodness born into us all.
01:59
You know, really,
01:59
you can either cross that line into evil
02:03
or not.
02:06
And it's our life's work to stay
02:08
on the right side of that line.
02:09
Part of the love story starts to fall apart
02:12
and that is part of the creation of who he becomes.
02:17
It's the things we love most that destroy us.
02:22
Most everybody that I work with is coming back
02:25
Trish Somerville is doing the costumes for this movie.
02:28
Bill Willems who shot Catching Fire, The Mockingjays.
02:31
The one new person that I'm really excited about
02:33
is Uli Hanisch, who's the production designer.
02:36
We talked about the sort of look and the feel of the movie.
02:39
The visuals of this movie will be very different
02:41
than Mockingjay, but there's real consistency
02:44
in terms of the capital architecture.
02:47
We get to sort of reinvent the world of Panem,
02:50
to sort of deconstruct what the games are
02:52
that we're sort of used to and go back in time.
02:55
It wasn't until I read it that I saw how much music
02:58
was actually in here.
02:59
We met with Dave Cobb, he's a fantastic songwriter
03:02
and producer.
03:03
It's gonna be fun to take all this history
03:05
of British Isles music and Southern music
03:07
and mash it all together in this dystopian way
03:10
in this future.
03:11
James Newton Howard, it's my fourth
03:13
Hunger Games film with him.
03:15
The musical opportunity is great.
03:17
Relationships are very powerful in the movie.
03:22
The good and the bad are very clearly laid out.
03:25
For James and I, it was really fun to explore
03:28
a new sound for the Hunger Games.
03:30
Sometimes it's foot stomping and rousing
03:33
and sometimes it's haunting, mysterious,
03:36
and a lot of that is based on the kind of period
03:38
of the movie itself.
03:40
There's gonna be some familiar elements as well.
03:43
- Hanging Tree is back in a completely different
03:46
iteration and treatment.
03:48
- Here we get to see Lucy Gray coming up with it
03:51
for the first time.
