"The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" is based on the most recent novel in the series by Suzanne Collins. The film will be directed by Francis Lawrence from a script by Billy Ray. Lawrence has helmed all of "The Hunger Games" films save for the very first one, which was directed by Gary Ross.

Close and Porter are the latest to join the movie's all-star cast, which includes Kieran Culkin, Ralph Fiennes, Elle Fanning, Lili Taylor and Maya Hawke.

The new "Hunger Games" movie, "Sunrise on the Reaping," stars a young Haymitch, originally portrayed by Woody Harrelson.
