    RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman - Suspected drugs overdose

    http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014...-dead-new-york

    The Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead on Sunday morning in his New York apartment, after a suspected drug overdose. He was 46.

    Not sure where this leave the third Hunger Games film? I know he was in the second, and that he was filming the third?

    A news source ( see if I can find it again, sometime. ) I caught yesterday, said that Hoffman had been just about done with his part on the last two movies when he passed. And the word is that the filmmakers will finish them. I'm wondering if this will be like when Oliver Reed died while doing Gladiator ( with some digital inserts here and there? )
    Regardless, I'm ouraged and sympathetic and confused when talent is thrown out the window like this. And already the dweeb movie fans who only know Philip from Hunger Games, wonder what's the the fuss?

    Slight correction; Seymour had just recently completed work on the the third movie ( Mockingjay being split into two films ) so I don't know how this is going to work, since Plutarch Heavensbe is a major player.

    This is an article pertaining to the hunger games and his work in it.

    dude was an absolute scene-stealer everytime he was on the screen. i haven't seen all of his performances, but the ones i've seen (boogie nights, the big lebowski, the master, magnolia, owning mahoney, the 25th hour....), he stood out as a guy who was totally devoted to his craft. here is one of my favorite scenes of his that i cannot help but laugh every time i see it.



    while i'm not big on celebrities and meeting famous people, he was one of the few that i actually would have enjoyed conversing with and letting him know how great he was as an actor.

    'Twister'. Wasn't he the fat loudmouth annoying git?

    Please bear in mind that I haven't seen it since I watched it in the cinema on its release.
