Philip Seymour Hoffman Offered Role in Catching Fire
by Matt Richenthal at .No one can say new Catching Fire director Francis Lawrence isn't aiming high.
Numerous sources report that Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman has been offered a pivotal role in the upcoming Hunger Games sequel: if he accepts, the man who just finished a run as Willy Loman on Broadway will come on board this blockbuster franchise as Plutarch Heavensbee.
Heavensbee takes over as Gamesmaker for Seneca Crane in the follow-up, which is scheduled for a November 2013 release. He's a politically savvy character who will have a lot to do with Katniss' fortune going forward.
As we await word on Hoffman's status, meanwhile, the debate among fans rages on: Who should play Finnick Odair in Catching Fire?

looks like such an amazing time. We took Johannes to Vancouver last fall, he was 7months and sleeipng through the night at the time. I felt the same as you...that maybe we undid our sleep work. it took about 3 weeks to get back to normal, but in the end we did go back to normal, and I'm sure it will be the same for you guys too. Although then its just replaced by something else...teething, nightmares...ugh it never ends!
