The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the rare sequel in a trilogy, well a quadrilogy in this case, that builds on the momentum of its predecessor. Fans of the book, Jennifer Lawrence and of the first movie all came out to the theater to support this film helping it to bring in about thirty percent more than the first film. Moviegoers appreciated the quality additions to the cast, such as Jeffrey Wright, Sam Claflin and Jena Malone. Unfortunately, the producers will need to find a replacement for the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Whoever they find will have big shoes to fill. Update: Philip Seymour Hoffman had finished filming for Mockingjay Part 1, but had not finished filming Part 2. However, the production team is confident that they will find a workaround. So, he will not be replaced.
