Watch the full trailer for "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes"

September is a special month for author Suzanne Collins — last Thursday, specifically, marked the fifteenth anniversary of the release of her YA dystopian tale The Hunger Games.

That book launched a highly successful trilogy and, eventually, the prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, focusing on the difficult youth of the series's villain, President Snow. 

And in two months, we'll have a movie adaptation of Songbirds and Snakes. (November 17, to be exact.)

You can watch the full-length trailer for The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes on YouTube.

The movie stars Tom Blyth (Coriolanus Snow), Rachel Zegler (Lucy Gray Baird), Peter Dinklage (Casca Highbottom), Hunter Schafer (Tigris Snow), Jason Schwartzman (Lucretius Flickerman), and Viola Davis (Dr. Volumnia Gaul).
