Philip Seymour Hoffman's Role in THE HUNGER GAMES Will Be Completed Digitally

Movie Philip Seymour Hoffman The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 about 10 years agoby Joey Paur

It seems like the producers of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 have decided to honor the memory of Philip Seymour Hoffman by recreating the actor digitally to complete one major scene in the film.

There's an inside source who previously told THR the digital recreation was likely, saying, “You can do digital things, you can have conversations where you’re not focusing on him but the people he’s talking to.”

If they feel they can make this work, it would be great. I have no problems with the filmmakers recreating the actor digitally to finish a project that he and the rest of the film crew worked so hard on.

The movie is set to be released on November 20th, 2015, and it will be Hoffman's final performance.
