New Video from The Hunger Games Community Channel features The Hanging Tree

If you signed up for text alerts, a new video was sent by the official Hunger Games community channel with a music excerpt of Rachel Zegler as Lucy Gray Baird hauntingly humming The Hanging Tree. We can imagine her humming as she's working out the melody while writing the song. 

Lucy Gray hummed now, testing out different chords behind the melody, while he admired the curve of her neck, the fineness of her skin.

The voice didn't sound exactly like Rachel Zegler's typical singing voice, so there were many other guesses about who the singer was today including Sia and Niki Minaj. It was a chaotic day in The Hunger Games fandom!

Rachel Zegler tried to help us all out on Snapchat:

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes Producer Nina Jacobson confirmed on Twitter that the voice humming in The Hanging Tree clip IS Rachel Zegler AND that the 2nd trailer is coming very soon - some time begfore Friday 9/22/23 - but not tomorrow 9/17 as she accidentally tweeted in a game of Real or Not Real. I told you, it was CHAOTIC today (especially on twitter).

THE HUNGER GAMES: THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES

Set before the events of the Jennifer Lawrence films, this screen installment from Suzanne Collins’s books casts Tom Blyth as a teenage tyrant in the making and Rachel Zegler as the tribute he tries to prepare for the deadly games. Francis Lawrence returns to direct.

This scene from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes looks so book accurate we had to put the still together with footage from the trailer and the audio book passage.
