Hunger Games prequel producer Nina Jacobson hypes Rachel Zegler's on-set singing, with the upcoming film set to feature her “jaw-dropping” vocals.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes producer Nina Jacobson has nothing but praise for Rachel Zegler’s vocal prowess. Based on the 2020 novel by Suzanne Collins, the upcoming prequel film will follow a young Coriolanus Snow as he mentors Zegler’s Hunger Games tribute Lucy Gray Baird.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Speaking with Variety at this year’s CinemaCon, Jacobson expressed her amazement at Zegler’s “jaw-dropping” singing voice. Explaining that the West Side Story star would often forgo the option of using a playback during filming, the producer revealed that Zegler would instead elect to sing live on set, wowing crew members in the process.
Dave Cobb did the music and he is incredible. His songs are earworms. They stick in your head. They’re beautiful, Rachel often would opt not to do playback, and just sing it live.
Described as a skilled performer, Lucy deliberately uses her talents in an attempt to win over the people of the Capitol, unlike Katniss who spent much of her time trying to avoid the spotlight. Gifted with a remarkable singing voice and natural charisma to match, Lucy goes out of her way to endear herself to the citizens watching the games.
Unlike Katniss, however, Zegler’s Lucy will not have the advantage of her pre-Hunger Games training to rely on when facing her rival tributes. Whereas Katniss had already proven herself quite proficient with her trademark bow prior to volunteering as tribute, Lucy lacks many of the hunting and wilderness skills that eventually come to serve Katniss so well.
