Color Force producer Nina Jacobson joined Lee-Kim on stage to talk about what fans can expect from the new film.
Based on Suzanne Collins’ book series, the franchise’s latest movie “doesn’t feel like it’s trying to duplicate the past films,” Jacobson said. She added, “It’s a new story, with new ground and new characters. We were able to create a completely different visual language… one that is still recognizably Panem, but also different and fresh.”
Director Francis Lawrence, who’s helmed four of the five movies, added, “This is the kind of playground that doesn’t come along very often, so when you have a chance to return, it’s enormously gratifying.”
