Re: Recasting Plutarch Heavensbee for Hunger Games sequels

With seven days of filming left on part 2, they're basically done. They will be able to edit around the scenes he didn't get to shoot.

Re: Recasting Plutarch Heavensbee for Hunger Games sequels

Jesus. This thread reminds how stupid the names are in these films. Either way. I don't think they'll be much to worry about in that 2nd film. Depending on what was shot I can't imagine that his loss affects "too much" in terms of story. Was he the only kind of his ranking or whatever that joined in on the cause?

Re: Recasting Plutarch Heavensbee for Hunger Games sequels

Having read the books, they can easily fold some of what his character does into Haymitch and Betee. They could have him present in Part 1 and then behind the scenes for 2. In fact, he's pretty much only active in the first half of the book, and even then it's a limited role.

Re: Recasting Plutarch Heavensbee for Hunger Games sequels

After seeing Catching Fire I was left wondering why he even took the role (his kids maybe?). It's probably his most subdued performance and not really at all memorable because of that screenplay. It could have been the cause and effect of pill popping because he just looked out of it the entire time.

He didn't really have that much to do in the second film either, I assume his character is more active in the third?

Just so everyone is on the same page - They ARE NOT recasting this role.

Re: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (2014, Lawrence)

“Game of Thrones” actress Gwendoline Christie is replacing actress Lily Rabe as the Commander Lyme character in Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2.”

Rabe was forced drop out due to a scheduling conflict with a previous commitment to perform in “Much Ado about Nothing” at Shakespeare in the Park.

The Commander Lyme character is one of the leaders of District 13 and hails from District 2 as a past victor of a Hunger Games.

Christie plays a bodyguard named Brienne of Tarth on “Game of Thrones.” The English native is 6-foot-3.

“Mockingjay – Part 1” hits theaters on Nov. 21 and “Mockingjay – Part 2″ will be out on Nov. 20, 2015. Director Francis Lawrence began shooting the two films in Atlanta in September with production concluding later this spring near Paris and Berlin.

The studio decided in mid-2012 to split the final “Mockingjay” book of the Suzanne Collins trilogy into two movies. Lionsgate has booked Berlin’s massive Tempelhof Airport — built in 1927, reconstructed by the Nazis as a symbol of supremacy, and closed six years ago — and huge apartment complexes outside Paris for shooting battle scenes.

The first two “Hunger Games” films have grossed over $1.6 billion worldwide.

Uh, I don't know who you've been talking to, but Azkaban is generally considered the best of the HP films. I'd say Goblet of Fire is the worst.

Tons of fans of the book, and I've met a lot of them, HATE the third film because of it's many deviations from the novel.

Director Francis Lawrence and Mockingjay producer Nina Jacobson also opened up about finishing Philip Seymour Hoffman's scenes after he tragically died from a heroine overdose during filming.

"We finished the majority of his work [before he died]," Lawrence said in the new interview. "I think he might have had 8 to 10 days left on our schedule. In most of the scenes, Philip didn't have any dialogue. We are going to put him into those scenes, but we're only using real footage. We're not creating anything digital or a robotic version of him."

Jacobson added, "We had to rewrite the dialogue scenes that he had left and there's no question that shooting those scenes is painful without him. We might give a line of Plutarch's to Haymitch or Effie, but only in circumstances that we are able to do that without undermining the intent of the scene."

The big cast additions so far have been Julianne Moore, Lily Rabe and Natalie Dormer, who shaved half her head:

Natalie Dormer, Natalie Dormer...why is that name and face familiar? Oh, yeah, the hot nurse that Thor bangs in RUSH.

^Not sure if you're a Game of Thrones fan but she's also got a pretty big role in that as well.

I think she's super cute...crooked smile and all.

The half-shaven head look is bizarre, I assume it has some sort of narrative impetus?

Yes, she's playing ...
