Filming for the next " Hunger Games " film, " Sunrise on the Reaping ," is set to begin in July. Francis Lawrence, who has directed each " Hunger Games " film since "Catching Fire" in 2012, will be returning to direct the upcoming project.

Billy Ray, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Hunger Games" and AMC's iconic Nicole Kidman ad, has been tapped to write "Sunrise on the Reaping."

We're at the Lionsgate Panel at CinemaCon Las Vegas, and we just got a first look at the new Hunger Games movie, Sunrise on the Reaping. During the event, director Francis Lawrence, who has also directed every movie out of the franchise (except for the first one) shared with the audience what's going on with one of the most exciting upcoming book adaptations.
