fommes 154 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 They should make the films faster, not waste time over choosing directors etc.; it'd be a pity if they would have to hire different actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 They should make the films slower, not rush into it with a half formed script. And they should choose directors who there is reason to believe are competent enough to film a Potter film. And they should split each book up into 2 movies.

Saxbabe 28 Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 From what I see on his filmography, he has only done ONE full-length film TO DATE. :? He's doing Brideshead Revisited, which is in pre-production, and OOTP will be only his third.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocelot 509 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Do you people realize that the actors on 90210 were in there 20's and 30's and they were supposed to be high school students. Also the kids in the HP series are a year older each book, so their ages are not going to be a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and they were not believable as high school students. Also the kids in the HP series are a year older each book, so their ages are not going to be a factor. I think it's already a factor. In HP3, they didn't seem like 13 year old, but 15 or 16 year olds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Yeah, and the age difference will look even bigger in GoF. Still, I'd rather they keep all the actors and take the time to make sure the script and everything else are good to go. We'll just have to live with the age issues. It was inevitable really.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,282 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Hmmm...I actually think his arguments are valid.If the latter Potter books are indeed 1000 page juggernauts then giving them the LOTR treatment could be a good idea.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I'd rather see them stretch the running time towards three hours. Splitting the books in two is a very bad idea.Or maybe they should just try condensing the material more in the screenwriting process. I'd like to see how this is handled in GoF, now that Steve Kloves has left. His scripts stuck way too much to the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 They should make the films slower, not rush into it with a half formed script. And they should choose directors who there is reason to believe are competent enough to film a Potter film. And they should split each book up into 2 movies.This is reason enough why you shouldn't work in the film industry. Indeed, it is not at all practical. But if they want better films, and if you want better Potter films, I see no recourse other than to find some way to have a 4 hour running time (at least). The third was episodic and crammed so much into so little time. If it would've been 4 hours long it would be A. a better movie B. It would seem shorter. The third you got a sense that there was so much, I felt I needed a break (thank god for intermission). If it would've been longer, it would've been more developed, and far more flowing. And the third book is tiny compared to the fourth. I think they'll have to be particulaly brilliant to pull off a viable movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocelot 509 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Actually they did not seem 15 or 16 in the last film, they WERE 13 and 14 when filming so stop exagerating to make your stupid point already!!!!

Morlock 11 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Maybe I just have a misconseption of how being 13 was like. I remember being a younger 13 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,282 Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Radcliffe is 15, during filmg he would have been late 13 early 14 I think.Gint would have been 15 - 14Watson might have actually been slightly younger then the charater in POA.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Well, I used to be really worried about how fast they're all growing and their appearances for future films, but now I watch the movies and don't even notice, nor really care. It just doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
