Exploring HungerGames and the pitfalls of a prequel
Monday didn’t exactly come as a surprise. Ever since the Jennifer Lawrence-led film series, adapted from Suzanne Collins’ trilogy, concluded with its fourth installment, Lionsgate has discussed the possibility of spin-offs or prequels.
Despite the last installment falling short of box office expectations, a symptom of the unnecessary decision to split the final book into two films, the franchise grossed $2.970 billion worldwide. Although neither the books nor films seem to have held the lasting appeal of YA phenomena like, Collins will likely still find a significant fanbase when her yet untitled prequel novel hits shelves in May 2020. With the new novel comes Lionsgate’s plans to adapt that work by collaborating with Collins.
The word prequel within a film franchise is often treated as a bad word, something met with collective groans, audience wariness, or an overall lack of acknowledgement. Can we really sit through another? Film history has always been punctuated by prequels,, particularly those within the horror genre – an often successful venture we’re still seeing the results of today.
