[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Director for third movie

[TACtalk at adelanta.co.uk]

I appreciate everyone's concerns about the director for the third movie.
I'm not much of an expert, so don't know what to say, but have admired
Branagh's Shakespeare work. I also saw and enjoyed 'A Little Princess'; a
visual feast!

The article about JKR's concern was interesting. However, I don't think
that the whole ethic of the movie hinges on the director; the interview
with David Hayman on the DVD of the movie made it pretty clear that he was
a huge fan, and, as exec producer, I would have thought that he would
choose a director who would be true to the books. Also; if I understand it
correctly, no one is going to do anything which will annoy JKR too much,
since she has not sold the rights to all of the books. If Warner do
anything with which she is not happy, I imagine that she has the option to
sell further rights to another studio.

Sorry to hear that that PoA will not be released until 2004  :-(
That's my favourite of the books so far.
