The previous talk about trimming down GoF for a movie (or two) has made me wonder about my thus-far favorite book PoA, and what is being chopped out of it as we speak. Particularly, I am interested in the Quidditch matches, as they received sizable cutting in the SS movie, and may get simmilar treatment in the movie version of PoA. Here's a problem with that, though. I think that the Quidditch matches in PoA, while long and probably horrendously expensive to shoot, all serve important roles in the plot. First, in the Gryf- Huffle game, Harry encounters the Dementors and actually fails to catch the snitch for the first time in his life. This is also the beginning of his competition with one Cedric Diggory, a key character later on! The second match, Gryf-Raven introduces a second key character, Cho Chang, and allows Harry a much-deserved opportunity to triumph over Malfoy and his nasty trick. Finally, the Gryf-Sly season finale gives Oliver and the whole Gryf team a well-derserved and long- awaited Quidditch cup-- as well as providing great opportunities for visual effects in the "dirtiest Quidditch match" Harry ever played! Even allowing for the Quidditch scenes to be trimmed (we now return you to the Quidditch field in progress...), or even cutting (please no!) one or two of them, PoA as a book is still far longer than PS/SS or CoS. How will this be addressed? The entire climax-- beginning with Beaky's "execution" and leading through the Shack scene and the time-turning-- is far too important to trim too much, even if we do see an entire scene twice, from different perspectives. However, what makes PoA work are the infinite details all along, which make you think at the time that Sirius is evil, but can instantly be re-read (or seen?) as proof of his innocence. It seems to me that every scene of the book weaves together so well (Marauder's Map, Sirius' two separate attacks on Gryf. Tower, Hermione's insane schedule, and Prof. Trelawney's predictions) that it is hard to imagine going without any of them. Any thoughts?

I suggested this to a friend who is also a B5 and HP fan, and she agreed wholeheartedly. He has the black hair, he's about the right age, he's British, he's definitely a good actor, and - perhaps more importantly - he can play both haggard and on the run!Sirius and doing better and looking good!Sirius. My justification for saying so is this: on Babylon 5, he played a good looking, well groomed character, rather refined and dignified. So, good for when Sirius is doing better. But what sealed it for me was seeing him play a demon on the TV show _Charmed_ - I believe it was last season. He looked haggard and ugly with long hair and was an absolute mess - I almost didn't recognize him. So, I really think he'd work as Sirius, and I really really want him to be cast. If I knew of a way to get him in front of the director/producers/casting director for PoA, I would. It matters that much. But what's really odd, comparatively, is that I have NO feelings whatsoever on who should play Lupin. No one that's been suggested sounds good or bad to me - I'm completely indifferent about it.

Hard to say what will be cut in PoA. They've got to have a minimum of 3 Quidditch games. They absolutely must have the one where the dementors come, because it's vital to the plot. That's the second time Harry encounters the dementors and the first time he clearly hears his mother's voice. Second, they must have the Quidditch game where Malfoy and his stooges turn up dressed as dementors. If nothing else for the joy of McGonagall marching out shouting "An unworthy trick! A low and cowardly attempt to sabotage the Gryffindor Seeker! Detention for all of you and fifty points from Slytherin! I shall be speaking to Professor Dumbledore about this, make no mistake! Ah, here he comes now!" Well, besides that priceless scene there is also the fact that it's the first time Harry successfully produces a full strength Patronus, thus later on knows he can do it because he's done it before. Third, the Quidditch final. It wouldn't be complete without savoring the victory! It is the first time that Gryffindor wins the Quidditch cup, so it would be a nice high point. So, what can be left out? Maybe some of the pre-Hogwarts stuff, at the Leaky Cauldron. Of course, you've got to have him blowing up Aunt Marge. And seeing the grim (that's really Sirius Black) unless of course they leave out the whole Grim thing, which would be a mistake, I think. You've also GOT to have the train ride because they first encounter Lupin and the Patronus there. I suppose you can leave some of the classes out. Limit Divination to one class session. Maybe. All right, this is why I'm not a screenwriter. I say keep it all and have a five hour movie.

He is listed in the poll for Lupin & I initially clicked on him immediately. But, after considering him further I think he's Sirius Black! (don't get me wrong he'd be great as Lupin, but...) Those eyes of his could pass as those of a cold cruel killer that would scare the wits out of muggle, or as the kindly step-dad with a kind of animal magnetism and he's the perfect age! He's 40 y/o but can play lat e 20's through late 30's. There is an official Colin Firth website and several fan sites you can get a look at him on (just search with his name). I definately think he's our man for Sirius. I hope it's not too late though-has there been an announcement I missed about who's to play Black?

Some of the LC scenes could be trimmed, but there's some set-up that probably should be there. Most of the class scenes might be cut or trimmed, but there's some things that have to be there--especially where the Snape/Lupin enmity manifests. Getting the Shrieking Shack into a reasonable running time is a task I don't envy--there are some things which might be omitted, but not much. > All right, this is why I'm not a screenwriter.

What made you so sure of that? As it happens, I had no real need nor intention to reply, but an invitation ("throwing down the gauntlet"?) like that is too good to pass up! ;-) I didn't see much need to reply because I have little to add to what's been said thus far. PoA is far and away my favourite book of the series as well - the plotting and writing is the tightest and richest of the other four books to date. Even so, I've not spent any time wondering about what could be excised but will now take up your gracious invitation to do so... with the result that I can see absolutely nothing extraneous to the core plot that can be cut out. Unlike the other books, where there are a lot of pure "character" moments, in this one, every scene has a dramatic purpose in driving the story forward. Much as fans (myself included) would dislike the idea, the only things I can see to abbreviate or cut out is the whole Knight Bus sequence (but then how does Harry get to Diagon Alley?) - the stuff Stan 'n' Ern tell him could just as easily be got from The Daily Prophet or the Weasleys' conversation, which IMO is more compelling than what he learns on the Knight Bus. Three Quidditch matches are too much for one movie, but as others have pointed out, each one has a purpose. We *must* have the Gryffindor-Slytherin match as it's Oliver Wood's last scene in the books and a moment of pure triumph. It must be with Slytherin and Malfoy has to be on the pitch. We must have Harry not catch the Snitch at least once in the movies, and Cedric catching him out is important to set up the character for GoF. Cedric can't just turn up out of nowhere for the fourth story, because it would draw too much attention to him for movie viewers unfamiliar with the books. The Ravenclaw match could possibly go - Cho can be introduced in other ways, and Malfoy's Dementor trick could be passed to Crabbe & Goyle alone for the last match, while Malfoy's on the pitch. However, cutting just one match out of three isn't enough to cut down the story to a comfortable movie length and as I said above, I really can't see what else can be cut. PS: I've never liked and am delighted he was cut from the first film and, according to Columbus, has also been cut from the second. :-) BTW I notice that I appear to be the only male left in this conversation (*VBG*) and I've sometimes wondered wheher so many of the ladies quote PoA as their favourite as it introduces the two characters which seem to have you all drooling (well, the "normal" ones, at any rate - I can see how Lupin and Black can be attractive to the ladies, but *SNAPE*?!? - again I can see Alan Rickman's attraction, but SNAPE?!?!?). :-) -- GulPlum AKA Richard, UK, not jealous of Kloves' task in writing a POA screenplay...

I sometimes wonder how these directors get chosen. If, however, the director for GoF isn't Corazon, I know who would be perfect as screenwriter, director, or both. He's written the script for a successful family movie and written and directed some of the most suspenseful movies I've seen. He works well with child actors and understands how children and adults relate. I think he's just right. M. Night Shyamalan. The director of "The Sixth Sense," "Unbreakable," and "Signs" also wrote the screenplay for Stuart Little [the first one]. He works with the supernatural superbly, without beating your head in with it. GoF is a much darker movie and the material needs a director of intelligence who can handle it. while we're at it, I know who I'd like to do the music for the movie, if John Williams doesn't; Jo Hisaishi or Patrick Doyle. Hisaishi does the music for Hayao Miyazaki's movies and Patrick Doyle has done Kenneth Branagh's.

I was pleased to know that they're giving the film to someone who's not a "blockbuster" type of director. Frankly, I still don't know what to make of Chris Columbus and still don't know if I liked the job he did for the first movie. It's a good thing he didn't make it just another cheasy kiddie film. But the film seems to lose some of the wonders and emotions of the book. It doesn't seem to have captured the kind of uncertainty about growing up and entering a new world that's common in kids of HP's age and is an important element that makes kids (and adults) identify with Harry and co. It doesn't seem to have the intensity of the book. There's something lacking. But what it is, I don't know. Maybe the film is just a little bit too...warm and too "Hollywood" for me. Cuaron has experiences working with kids. I've seen his "A Little Princess" and "Great Expectations," both adaptations from classic literature but the target audiences are different. Although "Great Expectations" is a strange film IMO, I was rather struck by the look of it and by the way the movie is able to utilize different aspects of the media, to let the picture or music tell the story. I liked the way it "flows." And I was surprised to know that this edgy piece was directed by the same guy who did "A Little Princess," a film for both children and adults. That shows his range. "A Little Princess" is, IMO, one of the better children's films in years. It is beautiful and imaginative without the aid of grandiose sets or special effects. It has the emitional depth to satisfy even the adult viewers and blends the dark/sad side of the story and the lighter side of it together with ease and grace. In fact, it is a very moving film that both inspires children's imagination and touches adults' hearts. I might not like "Great Expectations," but I'd say that both GE and "A Little Princess" are good-looking films with uninhibited visions and sparkling, magic moments. If he brings that same kind of quality into PoA, he might be just the right person to really do the magic needed for/in HP movies. It'd also be interesting to see how a Mexican director captures the British feel of the book. VJH.

I happened to see the October 2001 edition of Vanity Fair; not that I normally buy Vanity Fair, but that's the HP edition, with the photos by Liebowitz. Worth seeing! You're probably all yawning, having bought the magazine back when it was published. Shall I come out of the closet now and say, back in October of last year, I had no interest in seeing the HP movie.

I have something of a problem with the voice of Sirius, having been *raised* on the readings by Stephen Fry, he does a good gruff, affectionate and sort of sexy, and is more baritone than bass. Fry's voice gives Sirius the gravitas of his having suffered in Azkaban while still being tough enough to kill Pettigrew. Fry's reading of the suggestion that Harry go and live with him is very moving. OK, gathers thoughts together, the voice will be deep and thoughtful but not above venomous hatred and a slightly higher pitched loathing for really special occasions like the Shreiking Shack. I cannot imagine a really light voice in the part. How does that sound? Felicia I really pictured Sirius as having a deep, sexy, Ive-been-in-prison-for-12years-but-Im-innocent-Dang-It kind of voice.

He tends to get cast in comic roles, from what I've seen... I've considered a couple actors for the part. One of them--although he might be a bit long in the tooth for the part--is Bob Hoskins. He's an excellent character actor, and extremely versitle. The other one is David Bamber--he plays Mr. Collins in the most recent version of "Pride and Prejudice" and is a perfect subservient, self-serving rat.

Very much so. But so is Rickman, ... I'm all for going with slightly older actors. Given Rickman's excellent portrayal of Snape (and no, I do *not* find him to be visually delicious, just a phenomenal actor), I find it believable that an older actor- or older looking actor- could capture the generation of Harry's parents. I think at this point, it is more important to find people for Lupin and Sirius that could believeably play Snape's classmates, rather than people who seem to be 30. Besides, a lifetime of monthy transformations and 12 years in Azkaban should be more than enough to make both men look slightly aged. > Er.

Me again: I like Tim Roth especially, and Oldman is a fantastic actor. But when it comes to Sirius Black, there has only ever been one actor that fits the bill for me, and for this I defer to Gabriel Edson in post #1049 last November. I see a gaunt, haunted Gabriel Byrne as the only man for the job, and I am sorely dissappointed that his name is *not* on the poll. Byrne is dark and sinister enough that non-readers (if any are left) might believe he is a bad guy (a la "End of Days"), and versitile enough to be a nice godfatherly type. So, firing squad aside, my campaign stands: "Byrne for Black!" Makes a catchy poster.

More people for me to 'Silent Bob' about huh? And asbestos underwear. I thought this was a clean group ;-) Two new names for us to chew over. However, I must draw the line at hitting Boggles over the head. Bloodletting is for the likes of Voldemort, not us, muggle types. Was Gary Oldman in that delightful travesty Beethoven? Tim Roth sounds like he should have been in the Rocky Horror Show (or did I get the wrong guy here?). I am sure a knowledgeable HPfGu-er will put me right, but not too right I hope :-)) One thing that I think can be agreed upon is that the actual actor's age is irrelevant. As long as the character does not come over as a second Gandalf lookalike, most reputable actors up for discussion would pass muster. *Snape passed muster on a nod from JKR so who are we to argue....* Both characters look unreal in some way, Remus prematurely aged by his condition and, parhaps, hardship, and Sirius forcibly aged by Azkaban, so it is probably down to acting merit and who JKR likes most, once she gets used to Cuaron directing that is.

Holy wow. No, Tim Roth was NOT in RHPS. You're thinking of Tim Curry. Tim Roth was in both Pulp Fiction (the couple who hold up the diner) and Resevoir Dogs. Yes, Gary Oldman was in Imortal Beloved (or whatever), but he was also in Bram Stoker's Dracula, True Romance, The Professional... the list goes on. They would be perfect!! Gary Oldman's even worn nappy, matted dredlocks before. It's the more the essence of the characters than looks that the actors have to capture, really... If you combine Alan Rickman with Vincent Cassel (in Brotherhood of the Wolf), that's about how I pictured Snape. =) Frankie, who was in a cast of RHPS (performed Saturday nights under the movie screen in Detroit, Michigan) for a solid year.

Did he have major involvement in writing the script? Casting? Because all of these things were very well done. Hopefully, with PoA, he'll be able to have a lot of input in these areas. As for Great Expectations, well, if you've read the book and watched the movie, you're aware of how majorly the movie changed characters, events, themes, etc. If Prisoner of Azkaban is this altered, we'll end up with Cho Chang as the main character and Sirius Black completely deleted! Of course, Great Expectations doesn't have quite the fanbase of Harry Potter, so if Cuaron values his life, he won't change any intrinsic elements.

Just a name I threw in when applying for Yahoo account thousands of years ago.... http://www.rottentomatoes.com/p/AlfonsoCuaron-1045163/ has loads of reviews on Cuaron's work. Looks like Great Expectation is universally hated while Y Tu Mama Tabien is highly aclaimed. Forget about the "tomato meter" though. I can never figure out why they assign a review "fresh" and another "rotten" when they say about the same thing. One thing that does concern me, more than that he greatly altered the plot of Great Expectation (and to a certain degree, A Little Princess), is that Cuaron doesn't have experience working with special effects. Whether or not he can blend them into the film will no doubt influence the final product.

No, that's Tim Curry, also of _Legend_ and _Clue_, among others. He might have made an interesting Lockhart or Bagman, but that's neither here nor there. In addition to _Rosencranz and Guildenstern Are Dead_, which has already been mentioned and is the best example I know of them working together, the best movie I know of with Tim Roth is _Four Rooms_. Very freaky film, that one. I think they can both play the correct balance of ambiguity, trust, and menace. They can also pull off the embrace in the Shrieking Shack without it being awkward, and make Snape Completely Losing His Marbles reasonable - they both do infuriating very well. -- - Boggles, aka J.

Great Expectations, like a lot of Dickens, is a huge and very detailed book and so is open to much bowlderisation and it's the least the film world could do is to try and wreck an perfectly good sotry that takes forever to tell........however.. Columbus is still in as producer so I suspect that it will be more than Cuaron's life is worth to tamper with one of the world's best loved books other than to give it his particular viewpoint, especially with so much ground work and scene setting already done in the previous two films with Columbus directing. I do hope they give the Shreiking Shack its full treatment though. SO much happens there it's almost a minuature film in itself. I still remember getting to where I though the end was and finding myself with a great swath of pages still to read......

I do not think it's a "fault" at all to alter GE's story line and do not think it should be of great concern that, with him as the director, PoA's story would change that much. After all, Kloves is still writing the script *sigh*. But thank you for pointing out who the writer was. (The above quote was from me, not Felicia, BTW.)

No, it's not the accent. It's his voice. They might need to find a person with enough voice/stage training to match up against Rickman, especially in the SS scene when they need to confront each other. Viggo Mortensen's voice would really sound kinda weak and lack of intensity there. (Am I making any sense?)

According to Chris Columbus in the Interviews section of the DVD, he also had no SPFX experience prior to the HP movie. I found the SPFX rather variable; some things excellent (the snake, Norbert, the owl post, the quidditch match) and others really poor; the troll, the centaur, for example. I know that several different companies were involved, each one responsible for a different scene, and I wonder whether this, combined with CC's inexperience, led to the difference in quality.

The show takes place in a London department story. There is one guy Mr. Humpfreys (spelling probably wrong). He was short, thin, squeaky voice, gap in his front teeth, white hair, slightly 'limp wristed', and I can just hear him whining and whimpering and begging for mercy. He as a really annoying high pitch voice, and a somewhat rat like face. Just one problem, he's pretty old.

Does anyone have any > thoughts on who should play Wormtail? (snip) Well, I'd love to see Johnny Briggs (Mike Baldwin from Corrie) as Wormtail. He's short, balding, plays a slimy git very well... the only problem is, he's another one of these actors who's just too old for the part (I think he's in his late 50s or early 60s). Still, he doesn't look like a geriatric or anything :). The other problem is, of course, he's been on Coronation Street for very many years. I know the problem with having Hugh Grant play Lockhart is that people would look at the actor and just think "Hugh Grant". With Johnny Briggs, many Brits (and Australians, and Canadians and New Zealanders) would just look at him and think "Mike Baldwin". Anyhoo, here's a pic of the fellow if you don't know who he is (looking rather Wormtail-like if you ask me): http://www.csvu.dsl.pipex.com/can/0217/0217_032.jpg More pics can be found at http://www.csvu.dsl.pipex.com/can/0217/0217.htm or simply http://www.csvu.net From witchwanda2002 at yahoo.com Mon Aug 12 20:55:25 2002 From: witchwanda2002 at yahoo.com (Wanda the Witch) Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2002 13:55:25 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Interested Movie Goers in New England Area Message-ID: <20020812205525.67559.qmail@web13705.mail.yahoo.com> Hello everybody!

He as a really annoying high pitch > voice, and a somewhat rat like face. John Inman? No way. He might look a bit ratty, but he doesn't do "menacing", or indeed its opposte, wimpering, very well. Incidentally, I don't know when you last saw him, but he hasn't aged at all well and without makeup looks older than John Hurt in makeup as Ollivander... He does a good comic wimper, but that's not what what's called for. Especially not in GoF! Wormtail has got to get the tone just right and the whole edifice of PoA or the culmination of GoF rests on his shoulders. I must admit that I'm surprised nobody's mentioned my own ideal, especially as Rowan Atkinson was suggested a while back (I'm not keen on Atkinson mainly because of the voice). My nomination goes to his Black Adder co-star, Tony Robinson. He does a terrific true "menacing" and whilst he's well-known for his comic wimpering from Black Adder, he does it straight as well. And he has a real ratty face. Oh, and he's Alan Rickman's contemporary, which hepls... He's currently best known for presenting archeology programmes on the BBC (for once, the "celebrity" presenter of a factual programme is passionate about the subject and actually knows what he's talking about), but I'm sure he wouldn't mind a decent acting job for a bit of a change. :-) (trivia buffs: he's currently the man in charge of Equity, the British actors' trades union.)

Can't ever see him being MEM at all. However, Billy Connelly I have the utmost respect for, the guy can act and does not fall into the trap of trying to be *funny* as some comedians do when they try to act. Actually, *pauses and thinks hard - not an easy task having just given up on arguing about intelligent wands on HPfGU* I believe Stephen Fry would make an excellent Mad Eye Moody himself. He can act, does a great line in voices and has a great deal of respect for the books. With recent posts proposing Brian Blessed as MEM I began to think beyond the thinner types. At about 6ft. 4in Fry would certainly make an imposing auror. He could also do the more sympathetic side i.e. when he talks to Neville after the curses class.

I *loved* him as Dr. Who, never liked any of them after he was replaced (regenerated, whatever). Moody needs to be likeable but peculiar. Tom Baker fits that pretty well. We are *supposed* to like Moody, like Harry does. In fact, Moody was one of the three people I said couldn't possibly be the "faithful servant at Hogwarts" when I read GoF for the first time. So he needs to be very believable. Plus, JKR said we'd meet the real Moody on book 5, so he'd have a role in the next one as well.

But here's what you/we can do: +++ Write letters to his agent! (PLEASE) Mitchell Stubbs loves the idea of his client getting cast in two A-list blockbusters (*cough* wonder why?) but seems really interested just on general purposes. Jason Carter is represented in the United States by: ~ Mitchell K. Stubbs ~ 8675 West Washington Boulevard, Suite 203 ~ Culver City, CA 90232 ~ Telephone: 310-838-1200 ~ Fax: 310-838-1245 I think an actor who meets the production qualifications who comes with a built-in audience is definitely a good selling point, so let's prove that audience is out there. Mr Stubbs is definitely open to the idea of fannish support on this! +++ For those of you who might not be familiar w/ Jason Carter, I quote from the IMDb: (link: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Carter,+Jason+(I)) Born in London and raised in Gainsborough, a small market-town in Lincolnshire, Jason was advised to pursue a career in rubber technology. He opted instead for three years at L.A.M.D.A. (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art). His first television role was on BBC2's "Jackanory" (1965) in 'Hawkwing'. Jason then did long runs in the London West End which included such plays as 'Melon' with Alan Bates (qv), 'The Sleeping Prince' with Omar Sharif (qv), 'Salome' with Steven Berkoff (qv) and his Royal National Theatre productions, 'The Boiling Point' and 'Absolute Hell'. Upon moving to America, Jason expanded his career in numerous roles and guest appearances. His television appearances included '3rd Rock from the Sun' (1996), 'Roar' (1997), 'Almost Perfect' (1995) and 'Diagnosis Murder' (1992) (TV). In 'Beverly Hills, 90210' (1990) he portrayed Roy Randolph, the dashing British theatre director. Not forgetting what Jason is most known for in Science Fiction, the role of the much loved and missed Marcus Cole on 'Babylon 5' (1994). His credits also include numerous Television miniseries and made for TV movies, including Taking Liberty (1993), Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (1992) (TV), Orchard House (1991) (TV) Ellis Island (1984) (mini) and Forever Young (1983) (TV). Jason's movie credits include Georgia (1995), Dakota Road (1990), Emperor's New Clothes, The (1987) and King David (1985). Currently Jason resides in L.A. with his family. Nota bene: he has about 6 or so post-B5 TV credits, and 5 feature film credits listed on the IMDb as well. +++ Back in March, IGN posted a casting office contact for the HP films. Alas, Karen Lindsay-Stewart will NOT be casting PoA, but will be instead forwarding the letters she has received to the new office, when the production determines who that shall be. I was told 'call [phone #] in a couple of weeks', which means a little bit longer yet. Also, I plan on contacting the Directors' Guild of America to get Mr Cuaron's contact info, as the director is naturally very concerned with whom he shall direct. +++ Image links: http://www.frykitty.com/crush/jason.jpg http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Set/4923/closeup.jpg http://www.jasoncarterfanclub.com/images/cons/ufcxi/prothkopf2.jpg http://rp4all.topcities.com/b5/pics/marcus2.jpg Determinedly, Corgi @sff.net From beazumd at yahoo.com Thu Aug 22 13:58:13 2002 From: beazumd at yahoo.com (beazumd) Date: Thu, 22 Aug 2002 13:58:13 -0000 Subject: Chamber of Secrets Poster Book In-Reply-To: <00f401c247ec$0ac17620$c49dcdd1@istu757> Message-ID: I know, I know! :) The red-head actually isn't a Gryffindor at all... it's Susan Bones, a Hufflepuff (played by Chris Columbus' daughter, Eleanor).

I don't know who actually made the costumes, but I was in the shop that supplied the fabrics for the movie in June. It's called SoHo Silks -- a small shop in a street parallel to Oxford Street not too far from Berwick street. They also supplied the fabric for the costumes in The 10th Kingdom.

This is fully two-days-old news if you've been checking The Leaky Cauldron daily, but I haven't seen it mentioned here. There's a review of the Chamber of Secrets movie, at this stage of the production process, on Ain't It Cool News which you can see at http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=13059 The usual caveats apply; there's no telling whether he's actually seen anything or whether he's making it all up - or, even if he has actually seen things, whether what he's seen will bear much resemblance to what we see in November. However, I thought his counterpart review of the Philosopher's/Sorceror's Stone movie contained enough fact to be plausible and I would rather like what he's suggesting in this piece to turn out to be true as well.

He said he'd like to go to college to study fisheries and would not continue acting *after* Harry Potter. So I guess he's still going to play Draco for as long as they want him to (it pays for college, too!).

I believe they have just begin finalizing contracts for PoA, over the past month or two. Some of the adult actors I believe have signed on for all seven, but they waited on the children. As Daniel Radcliffe said, "I don't think I'll do all of them - I'll probably get too spotty or too tall or I'll shrink or something." So how does he plan to shrink? :) Anyway, I have found this on Tom Felton's official site: "It has been confirmed that Tom will be appearing in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban which will be directed by Alfonso Cuaron. Production is due to start in early 2003 with a release date of the film to be in the later half of 2004." On that note, can someone tell me why Tom Felton has an official site, Rupert Grint is in the process of getting one, and Daniel Radcliffe hasn't got an official site?!?! Ah, well, I guess that's his business. Richelle From plumeski at yahoo.com Sun Aug 25 21:10:38 2002 From: plumeski at yahoo.com (GulPlum) Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2002 21:10:38 -0000 Subject: Rumor?

Of all the cast, the ONLY person to sign up for seven movies was Richard Harris. Coltrane signed up for five (a fact which has generated much fan speculation that Hagrid is to bite the bullet in Book Five), although he has an option on the remaining two. All other adult acotrs signed up for the first two (excluding Zoe Wanamaker, who signed only for the first, and was not asked back for the second as Madam Hooch never appeared in the script). All the kids were signed up for two movies (although Radcliffe's pay for the second was dramatically increased after threats of industrial action just before the first movie was released and it became clear that it would be a runaway success). Contracts have recently been finalised for the third and all the cast are returning, but other than Coltrane and Harris, none of them have been tied to anything beyond that. Apart from Radcliffe, nobody has admitted how much they've been or will be paid for their involvement in the franchise, but it should be added that Warners are notorious for being poor paymasters. Of course, even "bad" industry rates equate to a heck of a lot of money out of context. :-) So of course any of the kids with speaking parts won't need to worry about student loans if and when they choose to go into further education, as they'll probably get more than their parents earn for each of the years they're involved. :-) It should also be noted that at present, Warner Brothers only have the rights to the first three books, with an option on the fourth on the same conditions; they have first refusal on the remaining books on terms to be negoatiated from scratch - it is unlikely that they will not take up the option on whatever terms if the third and fourth movies continue the success of the first and expected success of the second!

The only person I had thought of instead of him was Jeremy Irons as Lucius. But I've seen Jason Isaacs as a gay crossdresser (Sweet November), a British redcoat leader (The Patriot), and an American commanding officer (Black Hawk Down) and he is just excellent.

Total Film doesn't publish doctored unofficial photos in among a whole pageful of official set shots (all of which we've already seen before). The article includes an interview with Jason, in which he goes on about the difficulty of out-sliming Alan Rickman's performance in the first film. He pronounced himself satisfied with his performance and said that fans are in for a major surprise, especially with regard to his voice. BTW the scan made available on The Leaky Couldron really doesn't do the photo justice. I may just buy a copy of the magazine to produce a better alternative...

Ewan McGregor I think has the certain gentleness that I imagine in Lupin, however, he should be well occupied in Australia filming the Star Wars Episode III. However, I'm trying to figure if he could be turned into Sirius Black. Make-up can work wonders you know. Not quite sure if he has the voice for it. My reasoning being that surely Sirius Black's actor would not be needed nearly as much as Lupin's, seeing as he's a dog more than half the time. And still pictures are used a lot, those can be easily taken care of. His only real scene in PoA is at the end. For other Lupins, I'd first contemplated the American actor Viggo Mortensen (Strider/Aragorn from Lord of the Rings) for Sirius Black. He looks it in LOTR anyway. However, he has a "Lupin" sort of voice. And then I saw pictures of him as, well, himself, and he could pass for Lupin. Looked much different. Then there's Colin Firth. I'd thought of him for Lupin. But he has a better voice for Sirius Black. At least better than Viggo Mortensen. Wonder what he'd look like "scuffy looking?"

OoOOoo, never thought of that. LOTR is my other obsession, but HP rules in my world ;-). Viggo would be good....any other thoughts on Black, anyone? > Wonder what he'd look like "scuffy looking?" After seeing LOTR umpteen times, I think just about any man looks good "scruffy"! :-D Alora From rvotaw at i-55.com Fri Aug 30 03:25:08 2002 From: rvotaw at i-55.com (Richelle Votaw) Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2002 22:25:08 -0500 Subject: [HPFGU-Movie] Re: Remus Lupin References: Message-ID: <002c01c24fd4$d8b1fec0$b8a2cdd1@istu757> Alora writes: > Any idea as to when SW Ep III is filming?

And if Ewan did play Sirius, they could fit him in early, unless they are intent on once again filming in order. No more voices to change, but I suppose a growth spurt could hit. > >My reasoning being that surely Sirius Black's actor would not be > needed > > nearly as much as Lupin's, seeing as he's a dog more than half the > time. > > Good point, I had forgotten that! Which means they also need a really good dog. :) > After seeing LOTR umpteen times, I think just about any man looks > good "scruffy"! :-D Deep breath. And heaven forbid we give them a *sword*!!! Okay, bed. Really.

I suspect it is probably because dark hair = baddies blondes = goodies IMO ;-) I thought Richard E Grant would have made a superb Lucius Malfoy, he has the superciliusness and superiority down to a fine art. Ah well. Actually, although I pictured Draco and Narcissa as blondes, I always figured Lucius for a brunette. Although having seen that pic, I must say the blonde thing works very well for the character--it gives him a sort of Nazi/White-Supremicist look that fits his persona. ~Christi From chrisnlorrie at yahoo.com Fri Aug 30 04:10:50 2002 From: chrisnlorrie at yahoo.com (alora67) Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 04:10:50 -0000 Subject: Lucius the blond In-Reply-To: Message-ID: --- In HPFGU-Movie at y..., "c_voth312" wrote: > Actually, although I pictured Draco and Narcissa as blondes, I always > figured Lucius for a brunette.

BUT.....I had no idea that his hair would be long, as someone said earlier this evening. I was really surprised to see it long. Somehow, I had envisioned an older version of Draco - silvery hair, but short. I love Jason Isaacs, and I know he will do justice to the role (especially after his part in "The Patriot" - what a baddie), but I sort of thought that Ralph Finnes would have been good, also. Maybe because his facial features are more like Draco's (Tom Felton's). Just my two cents ;-) Alora From hal.9000 at angelfire.com Fri Aug 30 11:28:49 2002 From: hal.9000 at angelfire.com (hres2001) Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 11:28:49 -0000 Subject: Remus Lupin In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Ewan might be the right age to play Lupin in the book, but in the film, he needs to look like a contemporary of Alan Rickman.

Nonono, cast an IW! My point about Jason Carter (for Sirius) is that he's perfectly available right now, and is highly unlikely to have any higher- priority conflicts. >> After seeing LOTR umpteen times, I think just about any man looks >> good "scruffy"! :-D Oh, Jason does EXCELLENT scruffy!!
