A new The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 TV spot features a bit of deleted dialogue from Plutarch’s letter to Katniss. In the voiceover from the TV Spot Haymitch reads:
Sometimes a leader’s nothing more than a light on a winding path. You’re that light for so many of us.
Francis Lawrence talks about this additional dialogue in an interview he did with HitFix at the Berlin premiere of the film:
"We used to actually even have extra dialogue," said Lawrence, who told me he refused to "fabricate some kind of performance" to complete Hoffman's remaining scenes. "We wanted it to feel like a tribute to him in a sense. And we had additional dialogue that was a nod to Plutarch, but if you were really listening, it was a nod to Phil. And we ended up taking it out, because it sort of was changing the meaning, the thematic meaning, of what that scene was. But yeah, there's a feeling there. And I think it's partially because both Jen and Woody [Harrelson] knew that there was an element to it that was a tribute to Phil, so maybe some of that's still kind of coming through."
