Rachel Zegler Gets to Promote the Hunger Games Prequel for Some Reason

First off, Selection has answered my massive query:

“The Starvation Video games” prequel “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” has obtained an interim settlement from SAG-AFTRA, which implies that stars Zegler, Blyth, Viola Davis, Peter Dinklage and Hunter Schafer are allowed to advertise the movie earlier than it premieres in theaters on Nov. 17.

It’s not clear why the settlement was granted so near the movie’s launch date. However the late-breaking increase in publicity may very well be an enormous assist in getting folks to go to the flicks round Thanksgiving. “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” value $100 million to supply and represents a raffle as a result of it’s the primary installment within the billion-dollar franchise in eight years, and the primary with out Jennifer Lawrence.

For Zegler’s half, she was very grateful on her Insta:

I’d LOVE to know what occurred right here and what Lionsgate’s argument was past, “we’re about to take a FINANCIAL BATH HERE.”  I’ll notice that I didn’t even know this film was popping out till I noticed an advert throughout…a sporting occasion? Survivor? Who can say….like per week in the past, in order that they undoubtedly do want the press push. (I personally assume folks aren’t that sizzling on Starvation Video games content material anymore however time will inform.) And I did want the content material so…nice!!!!! I feel her informal denims/trench/sun shades look is SO CUTE.

That is…in all probability ALSO cute but it surely’s kinda arduous to inform as a result of her shirt received a bit wonked up there (we’ve all been there):

Tom Blyth and Josh Andres Rivera are additionally probably REALLY drawing focus. They appear swanky!
