Morlock 11 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 That's unexpected. I hope it doesn't go through, I don't think Gilliam would be right for Potter, and he needs to get on making Good Omens, as he's the only person on the face of the earth who could truely do it justice.

John Crichton 4 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 From, where else, Mugglenet! This is from the online diary of Jamie Waylett, or Crabbe as he's known to most of us.Just returned from filming on location in Oxford. As usual it rained, it seems that it always rains when we are on location. I spent nearly the whole week filming just one scene, with Maggie Smith, Brendan Gleeson, Tom, Josh (Herdman, Goyle) and Dan, it was great fun, I really enjoyed it. Brendan Gleeson was great, he is very friendly, funny man who plays the part of Mad-Eye Moody.As you will know, I'm not allowed to say too much about the filming, but I think that scene could turn out to be one of the funniest scene in all of the movies!Five bucks this is the "Malfoy the Amazing Squealing Ferret" scene.

Lurker 5 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Why would a big studio still be interested in Terry Gilliam? Do they really want a movie made by a totally irresponsible filmmaker like him? How many out of control productions has he been involved with, and how many box office successes has he had? Gilliam would be an absolutely horrible choice. Who next, Micahel Cimino?Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 My first choice for director of the HP movies has always been and still is Steven Spielberg.When he was doing stuff like his last few movies I would have agreed. But now I'm very intrigued by the idea of a Spielberg (and JW scored ) War of the Worlds and would rather he be doing that.John- who doesn't like to quibble over directors, the movies will be good no matter what due to the source material, the now proven cast (as long as they don't change), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesie 1 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 She has director approvment. Chris was fine. Then when he went, she immediately wanted Alfonso. Both were her choices. She doesn't have much to do with the crew, no. But she usually has suggestions for actors/actresses whom she would like to play the different parts.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 I didn't like the way the mudblood line was handled in CoS. The scene we got was funny. "It's a really foul name." *belch* "It's disgusting." But I thought it was handled so much better in the book. I always felt it made more sense for Hermione not to know what was going on at first. Plus, the emotional part was really overdone.Incidentally, I always find that is the point in the movie where everything slows down. The pacing is brilliant up until the "Eat Slugs, Malfoy!" scene.And about Spielberg; my fear when Spielie would do a film in a major franchise like Potter, it would stop being a Potter film and would become a Steven Spielberg film (I've said this of Star Wars too). Besides, Spielberg doesn't need a film like Potter on his resume. He has plenty of other projects that are interesting enough for him.Just my two cents.- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted September 2, 2004 Author Share Posted September 2, 2004 I think at this point Spielberg would have to stay within the parameters set for a Harry Potter film.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Spielberg? I dunno... I'd like the perception of filmmaking by the general public to not still be that Spielberg is the only director for popular, guaranteed-blockbusters. However I'd also like SOME sort of contunuity with the movies, so I'd rather one person receive the job and do the rest of the movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
