In A Little Over A Month The Hunger Games: Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes (Nov. 17, 2023) Will Be Released.

In a little over a month The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (Nov. 17, 2023) will be released.

The original films were pretty successful; let's see how the origin story will fare. I don't think people will find lead Coriolanus Snow a sympathetic figure, so how that plays out with audiences will be interesting. Some of the buzz is that it's got a different vibe than the other films (aside from that it's set 64 years earlier).

Viola Davis is playing the role of Dr. Volumnia Gaul and she always brings her best to whatever she does.

Going to watch it?

Wanted to highlight Charleen McClure for being announced as the next Blessing The Boats selection with her work titled, d-sorientation. McClure's manuscript will be published next year.

However, you can spot her earlier in the film, "All Dirt Roads Taste Of Salt," to be released on the 3rd of November. Due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, I expect publicity to be at a minimum in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for it.

In the meantime, hats off to Charleen McClure for her accomplishment!
