Suzanne Collins gave her readers a huge gift in returning to the world of The Hunger Games series, the first three books of which she wrote in 2008, 2009 and 2010, for the prequel story of one Haymitch Abernathy.

Joseph Zada will play Haymitch Abernathy, the fan-favorite character originated by Harrelson in the 2012 movie. The Hunger Games prequel Sunrise on the Reaping is one step closer to happening.The movie has cast the younger version of Haymitch Abernathy,

Since we heard that The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is among upcoming book adaptations, we've been curious about who could play a young Haymitch Abernathy after Woody Harrelson debuted the role in the original trilogy. Well, the day is finally here, and while the actor is an unknown, I totally see the resemblance to Harrelson.
