"  Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence has revealed that Mockingjay underwent slight script rewrites as a result of Philip Seymour Hoffman&amp;#039;s death. Hoffman, who passed away suddenly earlier this year while Mockingjay was still being shot, plays head gamesmaker Plutarch Heavensbee in the hit movie franchise. Lawrence explained to Reuters that the actor had shot most of his scenes. &amp;quot;He was scheduled for 50 days or so, and he had shot about 42 or 43 of those days,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;He had about eight days left, but the meat of his performance was already finished. &amp;quot;There were a couple of scenes that were pretty substantial which we ended up giving to other actors to take over, and obviously, although no one is a replacement for Phil, the story still works.&amp;quot; Mockingjay - Part 1 recently premiered its first teaser trailer. Jennifer Lawrence leads the cast of the two-part adaptation of Suzanne Collins&amp;#039;s novel, with Part 1 opening on November 21 this year and Part 2 scheduled for release on November 20, 2015.
