Philip Seymour Hoffman Confirmed For THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE
After reportedly being offered the role a few weeks ago, Mission: Impossible III actor Philip Seymour Hoffman is set to play 'Plutarch Heavensbee' in Lionsgate's highly anticipated adaptation of the second Hunger Games novel.
With production expected to commence this fall, Lionsgate is currently casting various roles for the film. Jena Malone (Sucker Punch) was recently confirmed to be playing Johanna Mason, while Kevin Nash (The Punisher) also revealed a couple weeks ago that he was in talks for an unspecified role. Still to be cast is Finnick Odair, with various actors being linked to the part over the past couple months or so. And of course, much of the main cast from the first movie (Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, etc.) is expected to return for the sequel.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is expected to hit theaters November 22nd, 2013.
