But after Lucy Gray\u2019s charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. With everything he has worked for hanging in the balance, Snow unites with Lucy Gray to turn the odds in their favor. Battling his instincts for both good and evil, Snow sets out on a race against time to survive and reveal if he will ultimately become a songbird or a snake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film is directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Michael Lesslie and Michael Arndt, based on the novel by Suzanne Collins, and produced by Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and Francis Lawrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds &amp; Snakes - trailer\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XEyZaR2NAzA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds &amp; Snakes opens 17 November 2023 in South African theatres and Imax<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, 3X GRAMMY-winning singer\/songwriter Olivia Rodrigo shared the official video for \u201cCan\u2019t Catch Me Now\u201d from The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds &amp; Snakes (Music From &amp; Inspired By) \u2014 the official soundtrack to Lionsgate\u2019s highly anticipated new film in The Hunger Games saga, in theaters Friday. \u201cCan\u2019t Catch Me Now,\u201d which was directed&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/blog\/2023\/11\/14\/olivia-rodrigo-unveils-official-video-for-cant-catch-me-now-from-the-hunger-games-the-ballad-of-songbirds-snakes\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Olivia Rodrigo Unveils Official Video For \u201cCan\u2019t Catch Me Now\u201d From The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds &amp; Snakes<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,159],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-film","category-music","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20480\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.samdb.co.za\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
