According to Variety's Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider), Phillip Seymour Hoffman has been offered the role of "Plutarch Heavensbee" in The Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire. For the time being, that's all we know (Lionsgate has refused to comment) but with shooting set to begin later this summer with new director Francis Lawrence, expect more news very soon. The Wiki Page for the character describes him as the Head Gamemaker in Catching Fire, taking the place of Seneca Crane after his execution in The Hunger Games. However, there is a lot more to Heavensbee than meets the eye...






STARRING:

Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen
Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne
Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark

RELEASE DATE: November 22, 2013

Well, when I read the book, I imagined a medium-set white guy with blond hair playing the character so, yeah, why not?

I pictured the actor that play Little Finger in Game of Thrones for that part.
