Additional photos from the set of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire have surfaced, and this time depict Donald Sutherland in full President Snow gear.
What’s more, he’s flanked by crew members as he stands on a podium very similar to the one we saw him grasping in The Hunger Games (pictured above). Snow appears to have a slightly modified costume compared to last year’s and shorter hair.
It’s no secret that Donald Sutherland has a deep understanding of his character. This was proven when he wrote a letter to The Hunger Games director Gary Ross and asked to take on the role. “His obsession, his passion, is his rose garden,” Sutherland wrote to Ross in the letter which was recently published in full. “There’s a rose named Sterling Silver that’s lilac in colour with the most extraordinarily powerful fragrance – incredibly beautiful – I loved it in the seventies when it first appeared. They’ve made a lot of off shoots of it since then.”
Getting back to his seriousness, he wrote, “I didn’t want to write to you until I’d read the trilogy and now I have so: roses are of great importance. And Coriolanus’s [sic] eyes. And his smile. Those three elements are vibrant and vital in Snow. Everything else is, by and large, perfectly still and ruthlessly contained. What delight she [Katniss] gives him. He knows her so perfectly. Nothing, absolutely nothing, surprises him. He sees and understands everything. he was, quite probably, a brilliant man who’s succumbed to the siren song of power.”
How do you think Donald Sutherland looks as President Snow in Catching Fire? The highly anticipated sequel will be released November 22, 2013.
