Billy Ray is back in business on The Hunger Games. The Oscar-nominated scribe, who put pen to paper on the blockbuster that started it all back in 2012, has been tapped to write the screenplay for the next installment of franchise by adapting Suzanne Collins' newest bestseller The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.

The odds were only kinda, sorta in the favor of CinemaCon attendees on Tuesday morning as Lionsgate unveiled a new logo for "The Hunger Games" prequel "Sunrise on the Reaping" to the annual trade show for movie theater owners but stopped short of offering any major details - such as cast or footage - about the new film.

The next entry in the Hunger Games film franchise has a lot of confidence behind the scenes at Lionsgate, and now it's one step closer to completion.
