Movie News: Philip Seymour Hoffman Explains Why He Wanted to be Plutarch in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Friday, August 3rd, 2012

EW interviewed Philip Seymour Hoffman and asked him why he joined the Hunger Games and he stated:

“I liked the people involved,” says Hoffman,“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?”

He goes on to say:

“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.”
