Rogue_Leader 2 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Just read an interview with Mike Newell, director of Goblet of Fire. He says it will be the most expensive movie ever made. That tells me we wont be stuck with a 2 and 1/2 hour film trying to tell the story.You gotta be kidding me? THEY ALREADY HAVE THE DIRECTOR PICKED OUT FOR THE 4TH FILM?? 8O Sheeesh! They really don't hesitate with these films do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 They picked him ages ago. Although if they'd seen Mona Lisa Smiles, they'd probably change their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishCal24 0 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Yes, the have a director already. Mike Newell was officially named as of last August. The film starts shooting in April because they can't really afford to waste much time if they want to keep the cast in tact. Still, the actors are getting a 4 - 5 month break between movies this time, the longest they've had so far.I'd assume they'll have director selected for the fifth film before the end of this year. Columbus has expressed interest in returning to the job in future, but if he doesn't, I'll hope they'll consider P. J. Hogan if he'd be willing to take it. He did a damn fine job with Peter Pan.

Morlock 11 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I didn't hear people say that of Cuaron- I was always looking forward to it. I think he is a much better director than Columbus.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 So over at MuggleNet you can reads that GoF is going to have a 170 million pound budget ($308 million). But I don't think that's actually more than RotK, as they say over there. Also, if I understand correctly, his latest film was Mona Lisa Smile, which bombed at the box office.Still, GoF is a great novel, so there's a lot of good material to delve from. I'll just wait and see. Bring on film 3 already! - Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William, you post your opinons on the Harry Potter threads all the time, but don't you ever read what others have said.We've talked about this alot over the last several months. Haven't your read that time permitting which it looks like it will, John will score Goblet of Fire for a November 2005 release. Which would mean we would have 3 epic scores from John in 2005.Book 5, Order of the Phoenix is scheduled for a summer 2007 release. Plans for filming 6 and 7, won't be know until the books come out.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I just hope he doesn't have to resort to an adaptation and auto-drive again from time constraints.

IrishCal24 0 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I heard all about how he positively butchered A Little Princess. I saw it once upon a time, but I can't remember much about it.I'd never heard that, in fact, J.K. Rowling expressed the exact opposite opinion in more than one interview. She said his adaptation of A Little Princess was a major reason for finally allowing Warner Bros. to aquire the film rights for the Potter series at a time when many studios were courting her. Why Mike Newell? That guys career hasn't been anything noteworthy. Most of the movies hes put out have been substandard anyway.That question is one I really can't answer. It came as a surprise to most. I can only assume something about him must have impressed J.K. Rowling, and the producers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 I think Goldblum is one of the most intersting actors to watch. His mannerisms, his look, are facinating. He's a very unusual actor who I enjoy whether or not I enjoy the film.Back to the subject of Prisoner of Azkaban.I think that this film will have a chance to be a real classic.Unfortunately I believe that it will be so popular at the expense of the first two films, rather than as a compliment.People will say how much better Cuaron was as a director, and that the look of the film will be astounding.Both may well be true, but, I recently watched Sorcerer's Stone, and I paid attention to the production design of the film. It is outstanding. Columbus might not be the worlds greatest director, but he did assemble a great crew around him. The sets are spectacular, and he uses them well.Cuaron will have the advantages of the best story to this date. The Mike Newell will have that advantage even over Cuaron, and then so on and so on until #7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Awalt 0 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 There's a funny article online today (at Empire maybe?) with Newell talking about how expensive his Potter film will be, supposedly the most expensive film of all time to date.

'Sirius' 0 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Hi again, everyone An interesting POA set report from http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/setreportpoa.htmlQuote:TLC: Dan, if you stay on for the fifth book, how are you going to handle Harry?s moods in those books? DR: What we?ve done in this one, which I think is quite daring really, the Harry you read about in the fifth book is the Harry we kind of portray in the third film. He is incredibly angry in this one. Just full of teenage? TLC: Angst? DR: Thank you, I couldn?t say that word for a second, angst. So he is an incredibly angry character in the third film. I don?t know, I think a lot of people could be shocked, I don?t know. I think the fifth book has prepared them for it slightly. It?s just different. It was also confirmed that the movie will be under 2 1/2 hours.S.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue_Leader 2 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Actually Titanic's budget was around 200 million. It had a LARGE advertising budget though on top of that. Anyway that comment above about the next Harry Potter movie costing 308 million MUST be a joke. HOW THE HELL COULD THE MOVIE COST THAT MUCH? First off there will be no big name actors (the A list types) in the movie that will require 20 million dollar salaries. Much of the sets and environments could presumably be used for the previous film. What is so epic about the movie that would require such a budget? Its not like their making a movie about some epic war like the upcoming Alexander films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 There will be tons of actors who get $5 million+- a show, and it adds up, the actors alone costing far more than probably any other film ever (Gosford Park had a huge ensamble too, but mostly lowley paid British actors who took a severe pay cut). But it still doesn't excuse that kind of budget- and what the hell does Newell know what to do with the most expensive movie ever made, with tons of special effects? And neither alexander will cost nearly that much. Maybe there's a bonus or something for the cast and crew after 3 films? that kind of deal happens often, which a substantial bonus or one time present after a certain amount of movies made. Still doesn't add up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
