Weird that we'll still be seeing him on screen almost two years from now.[/QUOTE]
Or maybe they'll use CGI to replace him? It's not as odd as it sounds -- Gladiator used CGI to complete Oliver Reed/Proximo's role since he died midway through filming, to which they just dedicated the entire film to him.
Fuck I didn't know about Phillip's history with drug and alcohol abuse.
This was just so sudden. Another great actor will be missed.
Fuck and I was just watching The Big Lebowski.
Should probably rewatch Capote, sucks that such a great actor had to die so young.
I don't often get bent out of shape when I hear about a celebrity passing.
This is one of those occasions. :(

The easy way to do it just have a stand in film his remaining scenes and the camera only shows him from the back. Instead of giving the stand in lines to read, just have him nod or shake his head.
I really loved him in all of his movies. He was a really good choice in the Hunger Games films, especially, I feel. He had that smug look on his face for like half of Catching Fire. RIP
Fucking just watched Red Dragon on TV, too soon :(
Well shit, I really liked this guy :/
I was watching super troopers the other day, meow he is dead.

That was Jim Gaffigan.
[QUOTE=WilloTheWisp;43762663]I liked him for his minor role in The Big Lebowski :<[/QUOTE]
"Maybe we'll see you again sometime, Dude..." :(
Best actor of his generation, one of the best of all time. One of my favourites as well. Worked on some of the greatest films of last decade, and had he lived on longer he'd have made some of the best of this one. And the next... Really tragic. Fuck heroin.
I haven't even watched Catching Fire yet and now I feel like I'm going to be sad every time he comes on screen.
RIP.

[QUOTE=MaddaCheeb;43762441][sp]He was working with the resistance the whole time. The ending of Catching Fire showed that. And I believe he dies mid-way through Mockingjay according to book lore, iirc.[/sp][/QUOTE]
Nope.
[sp]He lives until the end and is appointed Secretary of Communications after the war[/sp]
[QUOTE=BFG9000;43764681][sp]He's actually not an antagonist in that movie.[/sp][/QUOTE]
Technically a spoiler so.
[sp]He's portrayed as one at first.
While him showing Katniss the mockingjay symbol on his watch is supposed to be a sign he's on her/the resistance side. But since Katniss/the viewers has no idea she and the mockingjay is used as a symbol for the resistance you don't really know that. It's not until they bust Katniss out of the second games that you know he's working with the resistance.[/sp]

[QUOTE] Despite Hoffman's death in February 2014, "because most of Mr. Hoffman’s scenes were complete, director Francis Lawrence and his team are said to be confident they can complete filming without the character or the films being substantially changed" [/QUOTE]
At least one of his final roles won't have to be changed much

I kind of figured they would do the same thing ridley scott did with oliver reed in gladiator

That would depend on how much 'use' you get per bag, wouldn't it? If it took five bags to give him one injection's worth of what he needed, and he needed to do it every six hours, there's thirty bags right there in one day.

From what I know about heroin, which isn't a lot, doing practically a whole bag is a death sentence. Yeah, there's no denying that Hoffman was a big guy, but many people OD with heroin because they can fuck up their dosages. I'd imagine it's rather easy to do, and if you're in a state looking to get high and you aren't in a rational state of mind, you can easily over do it.
In this case, I would guess that he wasn't doing it a bag at a time, but rather dosing himself over the course of a couple days. If he had 50 bags, he was probably looking to stretch it out over a while, but lost control.

you gain resistance to heroin's effects quite easily, so higher doses are needed in order to give the same "high".
here's a good overview of it

50 bags is a lot, but it seems as if he was pretty deep in his addiction. at 3 bags it might be considered a suicide, but that's just me speculating. either way though it's quite tragic, but a very unfortunate reality for heroin addicts.
