New photos from 'Catching Fire' show Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch


I'm still not into Sam Claflin as Finnick in the upcoming second film in The Hunger Games series, Catching Fire. Sorry, guys. The hair? The stance on the Entertainment Weekly cover? They're both ... weird. Like prom photos from the 1980s weird. Like that guy who frosted his hair because he thought it would get him more babes weird. Ultimately it's ridiculous and not at all what I expected. Yes, I thought of Finnick as being more masculine, even though in the book he's always referred to as beautiful. No, that doesn't make me sexist. It just makes me think, "Oh, hmm, who would have been a better Finnick than Sam Claflin? Taylor Kitsch. OBVIOUSLY."

Anyway, let me put my Finnick fangirl-ing aside for a moment to introduce you to three new photos from Catching Fire, thanks to JenLawFans.com. Originally from Entertainment Weekly, the photos feature Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee, Woody Harrelson as Haymith, Willow Shields as Prim, Paula Malcomson as Katniss's mother, and Donald Sutherland as President Snow ... click through to see them!
