Didn’t they need him for part 3???
Maybe they will replace him with CGI???
I admit to an almost dangerous taste for conspiracy but since he did The Master, about L Ron Hubbard, I’ve wondered if scientologists might not seek some retribution.
I wonder if CGI technology - in both visuals, and voice recreation - has advanced enough to undetectably use a virtual Hoffman in the remaining scenes.
When you consider the possibilities of having the character “speak” his lines at a distance from the camera, and/or using actual footage of Hoffman from previous shoots - just masking out the background and CGI-ing in facial movements - it isn’t as far fetched as one might think.
If a new actor can play Dumbledore a new one can play Plutarch

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
“The death of actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman, who died Sunday with a syringe full heroine stuck in his arm, is being lamented by many, but not by me. Hoffman narrated an antigun cartoon which demonizes gun ownership along with actress Julianne Moore and of course, it was financed by MAIG. The media is falling all over themselves saying what a wonderful guy he was, what a wonderful actor he was, and on and on. I disagree. People like Hoffman are part of the drug culture that is destroying our young people and tearing the fabric of this county apart.”
