But why did the Oscar
winner decided to join this teen phenomenon series, “I liked the people involved,” says Hoffman,
who recently signed on to play Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee. “It’s a
great group of actors. It’s a great environment. And the character was
something I was attracted to. It was just an interesting role.
[SPOILER ALERT] He’s somebody who’s part of
the revolution, but you don’t know it. The idea that somebody would be risking
themselves in such an extreme way to join something that’s that dangerous
because he thinks it’s the future…that’s interesting stuff, you know?”
Hoffman hadn’t read Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novels
when he found out he might be up for a role, so he watched the first movie and
is currently halfway through the second book. “It’s good,” he says. “I’ve read
the script, which is true to the book — I kinda ruined it for myself. [Laughs]
But I’m reading it anyway, because I really want to find out everything I need
to know about this guy.”
