JASON ISAACS on This Morning (ITV) at 11:40 am. Set your videos for the lovely Sue :)
ooooh yes Minimoon because his Harry Corbett thing, The Curse of Steptoe, is on tv soon, today?! can’t wait to see it! Thanks for reminding me!
You’re welcome anne! I didn’t want to include it in this topic, but I couldn’t resist :D (yes it’s today!)
Thank you ,Thank you, Thank you!!! Someone finally sees the way most of us HP fans feel. There’s no way to make a 2 or 2 1/2 hour movie from DH and do the film justice. Lets just hope that the whole Genre of people involved do the right thing, (writers, director, producers, and cutters.) There is so much info in the book, so many questions answered, so many battles to portray, dragons, Horcruxes,Goblins and House elves. Oh sorry, I got carried away! This news on the theme park and the theme park, 2010 is going to be a big year for HP fans. Unless of course, JK writes another book about HP. We do need however, the DVD for part one to be released before the movie part 2 is released, (hint, hint WB). Long live Harry Potter!!!!!
The news on the film releases and the theme park I meant to say!
I’m not happy that we are going to have two separate parts to this movie several months apart. Why couldn’t they just keep it as one double length movie and schedule in an intermission break. If they want to make more money, then just charge more for this one extra long movie. That way we don’t have to deal with a cliffhanger type ending. :^( This is nothing but capitolism at it’s worst!!!
I’m really excited to see the Deathly Hallows split. It was the best decision. Even though it’s going to take a long time. David Yates is directing it? Not too thrilled about that, but I want to see his work on the Half-Blood Prince before I judge. I’d like Cuaron to direct the two parts. :p
I agree that we need to bring back Chris to direct. In my opinion, he is the only director that actually did these books justice.
At least it makes for a better chance to have some Minervaction. =)
I think that splitting the book into two movies was the best desicision for everyone. I honestly dont know how some fans can complain. It just means more Harry Potter and that most of what is in the books will be included. And surely that can only be a good thing! I really dont think Warner Brothers have made this desicision just for the money because for one thing it is going to cost them a lot more money to actually film two seperate movies. Also if the first installment is no good then they run the risk of people being unwilling to pay to go to see the last movie (I have been informed that this happened to the matrix trilogy). But I really do think the films will be brilliant and so hope that I will enjoy HBP.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! They can’t do that, they CAN’T!! =( I didn’t want it to be two films, now we will have to wait more to watch the end of the series!! But if there’s something I like less than that, it’s that David Yates is to direct both of them!! XO I didn’t like OotP!! =( And now I’m afraid I won’t like HBP either, which is my favourite book!! T_T Doesn’t he have enough with two films!! XO Do you realize that we will have to wait half a year more to watch Ron and Hermione’s kiss!! T_T
But well, I can’t say I’m surprised, deep down I understand it. Maybe if they had tried to fit all the important things in a 3-hour-film the result would have been pretty crappy. If they make two 2-and-a-half-hour-films instead, for example, they’re going to improve the quality of the films a lot. But what irks me is that they could have done that with Goblet and The Order (the splitting thing, I mean), which are also very big books, and they didn’t!! XO
WHOLEY MOLEY FLYING GOAT GRASS!!!!!!!!!! where where where will they cut it??? i really wanted Colombus to direct, but you can’t have everything i guess
BonnieRadcliffe I really dont think they could have split Goblet and the Order into to films each. Realistically I just dont think that non HP readers would be willing to go see that many films about Harry Potter! Also can you imagine how long that would take! Radcliffe would be in his thirties by the time they got around to Deathly Hallows! (okay maybe he wouldnt be that old!lol)
I am so happy to hear it will be in two parts!! That is the only way to do the book justice and to end a very wonderful story!
YESSSSSS!!!!! Excellent news!!! It might be enlightened to drop all the nay-saying though about Yates, Kloves, and cash-cows: Yates has generally done well and WB and Jo clearly hsve confidence in him; Kloves has faced an almost insurmountable challenge having to cut some huge books to “film-length” (I reckon that’s quite a bit harder than some people seem to imagine!), and yes, it’s a cash cow, but that doesn’t mean that’s why 2 films are being made – 1 film really really wouldn’t work, it really is all plot! And anyway, who cares? 2 films would rock!!!! So let’s cut out being so churlish, I reckon, I think today’s a day to CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!! Yippeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
