#RalphFiennes has come aboard for the role of the villainous President Snow, ruthless dictator of Panem, in Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: #SunriseOnTheReaping, based on the bestselling novel by Suzanne Collins. Fiennes inherits the role from Donald Sutherland, who passed away in June 2024, aged 88. “We wanted to honor Donald Sutherland by having one of this generation’s greatest actors play President Snow 24 years before Katniss Everdeen entered the arena,” said producer Nina Jacobson of Color Force. “Working with Ralph has been on my bucket list since he traumatized me for life in ‘Schindler’s List.’ It’s genuinely a thrill to welcome him to the Hunger Games.” Full details on the new #HungerGames film online at the link in bio.
