The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes has plenty of thematic callbacks to the original films, some planned and some were not.
When you're making a prequel, it seems pretty apparent that there will be callbacks to the original series. How obvious and whether or not they will work is one of the aspects of a prequel that will make it work or make it stumble. If the references and callbacks are so much that it becomes obnoxious, or it seems like the film doesn't have an identity of its own outside of references, that's where the issues come in. It sounds likeis carefully trying to walk that line.
"I remember being blown away by it and how it perfectly fit the themes and mysteries of the movie that we were making," Lawrence says of the line, which was added to the trailer by the Lionsgate marketing team. In fact, he was so impressed by its relevance that he added it to the final cut of the film as well.
