New Book Covers for Suzanne Collins’ The Underland Chronicles
EW has the exclusive first look to the new covers of Suzanne Collin’s The Underland Chronicles, the book series which she wrote before The Hunger Games. The new edition will be available this summer!
The five-book fantasy series follows Gregor, a boy who discovers an underground city that’s home to giant spiders, bats, rats, and cockroaches as he finds himself on a search for his missing father. Like The Hunger Games, Gregor’s adventures explore larger themes, like war, biological warfare, and even genocide.
Philip Seymour Hoffman Talks Hunger Games and His Role in Catching Fire
Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays Plutarch Heavensbee in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is featured on WSJ’s Speakeasy. He praised Suzanne Collins for writing the series, and he also talked about his role in the Hunger Games sequel.
Hoffman said since his role in the “Catching Fire” book isn’t very big — Plutarch Heavensbee takes over from Seneca Crane as Head Gamekeeper. But the film’s writers added more to his character. Then when he films “Mockingjay,” everything changes.
“I’m looking forward to the next two [films], because his job becomes very different,” Hoffman said of Plutarch’s role. “The story becomes very different and everyone will see what happens.”
