Eyes bright, chins up, smiles on!
This has been the absolute hardest secret to keep - I was invited to be among 30 creators to be the first in the WORLD to watch the Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping trailer! This was a room packed full of absolute faves, and I was so overjoyed that little ol’ me was among them. Not only that, but I was assigned District 1 and placed on the front row to take it all in - and take it in I did.
Firstly, the trailer. WOW WOW WOW it’s INCREDIBLE, and PACKED! We see so much, but at the same time so little of the absolute chaos that’s to come based on the book. We see the absolutely stellar packed out cast - Joseph Zada, McKenna Grace, Whitney Peak, Ben Wang, Molly McCann, Iona Bell, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, Jesse Plemons, Elle Fanning, Lili Taylor, Maya Hawke, Edvin Ryding, Iris Apatow - the list goes on and on and I couldn’t be more excited to finally see them on screen. It’s so colourful and exciting and jaw-dropping
Secondly, the event was INSANE. I also got to be among the first for the reveal of the elusive London statue (one of over 20 that have been dropping around the world), got to hop on the platform and rise into the arena (!!!) - just like the tributes of The Hunger Games: On Stage, and have the trailer introduced by
@ieucooke who was actually there for when I was the first in London to get the book, so was a really touching moment for me. Everyone was so so friendly, and I apologise to anyone whose ear I yapped off dumping all my Hunger Games lore.
It was an absolute privilege to be among this class, and I’m so grateful to
@lionsgateuk @thehungergamesonstage for having me. And thank you to every single one of you who supported me on this journey and everything I’ve been doing. I love you like all-fire 💜
