After the enormous worldwide success of the film The Hunger Games, which grossed north of $400 million, Lionsgate seems to be fast-tracking the sequel Catching Fire. In recent news, the multi-talented Philip Seymour Hoffman has signed on to join the sequel and will be cast as Plutarch Heavensbee. Due to hit theatres in 2013, Hoffman is clearly a welcome addition to the cast.
In other news, Darren Aronofsky's Noah keeps on adding big names to its long list of star-studded celebrities. The feature, which plans to tell the biblical story of Noah, has just reportedly brought Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins on board to play Methuselah. With no release date in sight (loosely planned for 2014), Aronofsky's epic tale seems to be shaping up very nicely and hopefully his follow up to Black Swan will exceed high expectations.
