‘Hunger Games’ continue after Hoffman

The death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman by an accidental drug overdose in February has not sidelined production of the latest installment of Hunger Games, its director said.

Francis Lawrence and the stars of the blockbuster franchise, including Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence spoke at the Cannes Film Festival.

Seymour Hoffman’s sudden death in New York occurred while the latest installment in the blockbuster series Mockingjay Part 1 was still being shot.
