Nina Jacobson, a producer from the Hunger Games franchise, talks about how Dolly Parton inspired Rachel Zegler's Lucy Gray Baird.
The Big Picture The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will introduce audiences to Lucy Gray Baird , a new tribute from District 12 who will face the biggest challenge of her life when entering the tenth edition of the Hunger Games. The character will go from performing with a traveling band straight into a cruel competition where young people are sent to kill one another for sport.
Jacobson also spoke about how Zegler brought her own voice to the role, making Lucy seem more approachable in a world that focuses on being cold towards anyone who isn't a part of Panem's elite: "But being able to find somebody, and Rachel who could deliver that and yet bring the rawness and not flip the switch and go to, like, show tune mode, but actually really that this is her music, that she's written this music, and that this is the music that embodies her experience.
'The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes' Features a Different Kind of Hunger Games The upcoming prequel will take place decades before Katniss Everdeen changed the course of history with her revolution against President Snow . Tom Blyth will portray a younger version of Snow, as his friendship with Lucy shapes him into the person he's destined to become.
