The tribute of Panem 5: Berlin as a backdrop for new prequel - all locations and backgrounds!
In the middle of the fountain on Strausberger Platz in Friedrichshain, a huge figure with crossed swords is enthroned, behind the sugar bakers on Karl-Marx-Allee, building cranes and high-rise buildings rise: A large part of "The tribute of Panem-The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" was shot in Berlin. "We got the locations we needed here," said director Francis Lawrence. The German locations were selected by Uli Hanisch, which was based on the selection of the Berlin 50s and 60s. In Berlin there were ideal conditions for the historical aspect of the film, since the Empire, the "Third Reich" and the GDR/East Berlin were found in the buildings. The film is largely without purely virtual landscapes, as it is important to give a base and something real. The production of the film was of great benefit to the local film industry and gave engagements to a large number of Berlin actors. The film was shot at various known places in Berlin, including the Olympic Stadium, which was artificially increased by three floors, and the Anatomical Theater of the Charité. The old museum and the Treptower crematorium were also Berlin locations for the film. The film plays 64 years before the events from the well-known science fiction series and comes to cinemas on November 16. The story itself is about a young Coriolanus Snow, who is already known to the fans long before he became the Tyrannian president of Panem. The young snow is chosen at the tenth anniversary of the murderous hunger games for the mentor of Lucy Gray Baird from District 12. The top -class cast, including actresses such as Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Viola Davis, Hunter Schafer and Peter Dinklage, inspires the fans and contributes to the internationalization of the film project.
