The Hunger Games: Mockingjay "” Part 2 is supposed to conclude the saga of The Girl on Fire magna cum laude. It's hard for those who have enjoyed the movies to say good bye and maybe even harder for those who were involved in the production of the blockbuster as it grossed billions over the years. However, the success was not based on a shallow teenage story, but on the great dystopian novels of Suzanne Collins.

But latest speculations suggest that those involved in the production of the film series don't want to let go and look for ways to keep the story alive on the big screen. Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns said at the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference that the franchise will "live on and on and on." He brought up the possibility of prequels.

"The one thing that kids say they missed [from the Mockingjay films] was there were no arenas," a hint at stadiums where teenage participants fight for their lives. "If we went backwards, there obviously would be arenas." (via Variety)

Burns was not the only one talking about prequels for The Hunger Games

Three of the Hunger Games installments were directed by Francis Lawrence, who recently told EW that he would love to be involved if Suzanne Collins has ideas about keeping the story alive on the big screen.

"The interesting part of the story for me is to go back 75 years earlier and see how everything became the way it is. I'm sure if Suzanne were to get inspired and decide there's another story that's important for her to tell that exists within the world of Panem and whether about the Dark Days, another character, or another set of Games, whatever that could be, I'm sure it would be great. And I'd loved to be involved, absolutely."

These are just speculations, as neither Lionsgate, nor Collins has stated anything officially, and it's unlikely that prequels would happen without Collins' involvement.
