11. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt.2
The Hunger Games started out as a successful book series before being made into a blockbuster movie franchise that consisted of four movies and earned a cumulative total of 1.4 billion dollars. The movie may have been headlined by Jennifer Lawrence, but by the end, the cast included award winning actors such as Donald Sutherland, Julianne Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman; but of all those actors, only Hoffman was unable to see the end of the story on the big screen. Philip Seymour Hoffman was an Oscar winning actor who had struggled with drug addiction in the past, and after years of sobriety, he had an unfortunate relapse in 2013, which led to him using multiple drugs simultaneously, a relapse that resulted in his death. He died during production of the final movies, and still had two scenes left to shoot, which is why Mockingjay Pt.2 was temporarily interrupted in order to rewrite his scenes to involve different characters; they also had to add him into a background shot using visual effects.
