Oscar and Emmy winner Kieran Culkin will play Caesar Flickerman in the 'Hunger Games' prequel 'Sunrise on the Reaping,' a role originated by Stanley Tucci in the first four movies.

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.

The Lionsgate film has landed the Oscar-winning actor to play the host of the Hunger Games who was previously portrayed by Stanley Tucci.
