The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping Adds Glenn Close & Billy Porter

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping announced that Glenn Close & Billy Porter are joining the case. Close will play Drusilla Sickle, and Porter is tabbed to be Magno Stift. Fans who read The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping know them as the woman who escorts the District 12 Tributes and her husband, who designs their looks. The adaptation continues to heap on the star power ahead of next year’s big release.

Nina Jacobson, the producer for the movie, is just stunned at the talent that’s been assembled. She said, “Glenn Close is a dream, Drusilla. She brings so much of her intellect and imagination to each role, creating characters who are unforgettable and iconic. I think Glenn and Francis will have a ball bringing Drusilla from the page to the screen.”

Porter is a coup in much of the same way. Anyone who has been paying attention to these cast reveals has taken note of just how much momentum each new name adds to The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.

“Billy is one of those rare performers who can dazzle and devastate in equal measure on stage and screen. He made an indelible impression on me when we worked together on Pose, both as an actor and a human being,” the producer adds. “Casting this show has felt like winning the lottery every time one of our idols said yes to us. To be able to announce Glenn Close and Billy Porter together is an embarrassment of riches that we can all celebrate.”
