Following Philip Seymour Hoffman's tragic death this last weekend, sources close to production of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 2—which Hoffman was filming at the time of his passing—have revealed that one major scene Hoffman had yet to film will be completing using CGI to replicate his likeness based off of previous scenes. From the New York Post:

None

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 1 and Mockingjay Pt. 2 are both expected to be released on schedule, with Pt. 1 hitting theaters on Nov. 21, 2014, and Pt. 2 on Nov. 20, 2015.

As previously reported, Hoffman's body was found in his Manhattan apartment this past weekend, dead of an apparent drug overdose. Police arrested four individuals in connection with his death, but one has reportedly been let go with no charges after it was determined he had nothing to do with the case.
