'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping' Won't Explore Maysilee's Best Connection to Katniss Because of a Crucial Change the First Movie Made
While in the Sunrise on the Reaping novel, Maysilee wears Katniss' Mockingjay pin, a change made in the first movie will remove that connection.
The Hunger Gamesfranchise is soon getting a brand-new film. Though Sunrise on the Reapingwas only published recently, the film adaptation is already underway, with Francis Lawrence again leading the charge. This prequel will take the audience back 24 years before the original film to explore the 50th Hunger Games, which is when Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) became a victor. The casting for Sunrise on the Reaping is taking shape with Joseph Zadaas young Haymitch, Whitney Peak as his girlfriend, Lenore Dove, and McKenna Graceas District 12 tribute Maysilee Donner. Those who have read the book know that each new character has a unique role, but Maysilee is especially fascinating and tragic.
