Sunrise on the Reaping, which is set 24 years prior to the original film, opens on 20 November and focuses on 16-year-old Haymitch Abernathy in the 50th Games. Lawrence told podcast host Alex Cooper she reunited with Josh Hutcherson and Woody Harrelson, and said Harrelson climbed through her hotel window uninvited. Joseph Zada plays young Haymitch, while Ralph Fiennes is President Snow.
