Report: WB says No Decision Yet Made on "Deathly Hallows," Kloves Back as Screenwriter
DH FilmA follow up today regarding the rumor on a possible two part film of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Empire magazine is reporting WB told them “no decision has been made about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” Also, Empire states Steven Kloves will be back as screenwriter for the final Harry Potter movie, as they say he “hasn’t starting writing the script yet, since the WGA strike prevents him from doing so.” One final note: We are still trying to obtain more on the director rumor for “Deathly Hallows”, and we will update with more on this when we can. Thanks adrian, katy, and d!

oh no! he is a member of WGA too? I really hope they can reach an agreement!
Sigh….Not Kloves again. I’m not a fan of his writing at all. It isn’t just his misrepresentation of the characters (particularly Ron and Hermione), it’s also that most of his original dialog is pretty bad and some excruciatingly cheesy. I was hoping for someone else to take over as screenwriter.
I also hope that the whole writer’s strike doesn’t stall the filming of DH. Dan, Rupert, and Emma deserve to be able to make the film in a timely manner so that they can concentrate on the future. They’ll also be able to play their epilogue characters as is if the decide to wait too long. They should have just hired a British screenwriter that wouldn’t be affected by the strike. Then again, hopefully, this won’t be a big factor in production.
Steven Kloves will be back as screenwriter? Oh, god, the news keep getting worse.
I am glad that Steven Kloves is back as the screenwriter! (Doesn’t that mean that SOME decisions can be/have been made even though there is a strike?) At any rate even though he cannot ‘officially’ work on the script because of the strike, I am sure that mentally he already well on his way. :-D
I really hope it will be Ron who will kill the horcrux in the forest, and who will tell Harry about saying aloud Voldemort’s name and NOT Hermione.
That’s just sad about Kloves coming for DH, now we can just flush down the toilet any possiblity for Ron’s locket scene to be given any justice, even if it was still there! sigh
Oh, no. Not Kloves.
I shudder to think of what Super Hermione will do this time.
I was so happy with the screenplay of OotP, and I was really hoping that Goldenberg (sp?) would come back for DH.
Ugh.
I am glad Kloves will be back for the 7th movie because Michael Goldenberg, who replaced Kloves in the order of the phoenix, cut out a lot of important things (not that kloves hasn’t cut out important staff but I have got used to him). I understand of course that their work is very difficult and especially for Goldenberg who had to write the screenplay for the most difficult book of the series. There’s only one thing that makes me have doubts about Kloves and that’s Ron who is always overshadowed… WHY?? Ron is my favorite character
Must stay positive about Kloves… Must stay positive…. must stay positive….. (I wonder if we keep repeating that all will be well…..)
nooooo. I can’t stand Kloves. Goldenberg is much better. This film news keeps getting worse. Anyways, Kloves is British I think. and isn’t WGA just for Amercian people? You know what, I’m beyond caring about these films. I don’t think we’re ever going to get a decent one.
wow, you guys are a negative bunch. it reads like ‘harry potter glass half-empty club’... cheer up. this is all purely about entertainment! and face it, you’ve all already made the film in your heads, right?!
One three hour movie. NO Spielberg. Del Toro, Burton, Gilliam or even Curaun would get it better. Yes to Kloves. He loves HP. He understands it. Don’t confuse what he has written (because you didn’t get to read it) with the director’s vision, and what occurs in the cutting room.
Sorry, unless the WB allows the movies to be 3 hours (Which they haven’t yet) then lots of the charming, nit-picky details that all of us HP fanatics love, are going to be left out. All of you armchair scriptwriters, get out your red pen and try to condense HBP down to 200 pages. Not easy.
I think that a new screenwriter, but one who really understands the books would be better. Also I think i am in the bunch who didnt like Cuaron’s directing all that much but I did like David Yates’, although three movies is perhaps a bit too many. I’d personally like a new director and screenwriter for the last film… sigh… oh well it will still be an awesome film no matter what right? All the others have been. well mostly…
Kloves? no!!! Aw is there anyway that Goldenberg isn’t part of this writer strike and if the strike carries on he can chip in. I agree with you ‘Silly Girl’ It’l be Hermione taking over the show, she’ll be the true master of the Elder Wand and once Ron leaves the camp Kloves will conveniently forget to write him back in! (Slight exaggeration but i think you get my position on Kloves) Please rehire Michael Goldenberg. oh and by the way pigwidgeon Kloves is American
sigh…Kloves. I didn’t really realize why people wre critizing him until I saw OOTP. I liked Goldenberg much better. He portrayed Ron (and Hermione) way better. And I Kloves always seemed like an H/Hr shipper. In the last movie, I think it was obvious that Ron and Hermione liked each other. (Maybe too much…half the time when they walked in it looked like they had just finished a snogging session.)
