Ralph Fiennes Takes Over As President Snow In New ‘Hunger Games’ Film

In the upcoming film Sunrise On The Reaping, actor Ralph Fiennes will take on the role of President Coriolanus Snow in the popular Hunger Games series, succeeding the late Donald Sutherland from the original four movies. “We wanted to honor Donald Sutherland by having one of this generation’s greatest actors play President Snow 24 years before Katniss Everdeen entered the arena,” said producer Nina Jacobson. Set as a prequel to The Hunger Games, the film draws inspiration from Suzanne Collins’ latest novel. Alongside Fiennes, the cast includes Whitney Peak, Mckenna Grace, Jesse Plemons, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Maya Hawke, Lili Taylor, and Ben Wang. (UPI)
