'Hunger Games' Release Dates Won't Be Affected By Philip Seymour Hoffman Loss


Before his sudden tragic death on Sunday at the age of 46, Phillip Seymour Hoffman created a body of work that will earn him a permanent place among the ranks of Hollywood's all time greats. For the entertainment industry, however, his passing raised immediate questions about the projects the profilic actor has recently been involved with but which have not yet made it to the screen.

First off, while Hoffman's absence will definitely be felt upon the release of the next installments of "The Hunger Games" series – the highest profile project of the actor's career -  a source close to the franchise says the two films' final release dates of Nov. 21, 2014, and Nov. 20, 2015, respectively, will not be changed.

The Oscar-winning actor played head game maker Plutarch Heavensbee in the the blockbuster book-to-movie series. The final, fourth installment of the franchise, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2," is currently filming. But without Hoffman's final contributions, the production will undoubtedly need to regroup.
