AceShowbiz - The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is building excitement as the 50th Hunger Games approach, promising fans a look at familiar faces alongside fresh storylines.

Lionsgate has released a new promotional video that not only recaps the events of the previous five films in the franchise but also offers a sneak peek at the upcoming prequel, set to premiere on November 20.
