"there is every indication that the approximated release date for GoF has
been set for November, 2005. Due to the length of the film, this would
indicate that preproduction would have to start later
this year and major filming perhaps shortly after to allow time for all the
post-production CG work the film will need. Given the lengthy set-up time
necessary for installing a new director, this
timeframe would seem to suggest that Cuaron will also be directing GoF
(unless they've chosen someone who they are keeping secret) and that the
trio will probably be back for another round. Does anyone have a take on
this? BTW, the incessant cautions about the trio growiwng out of their
roles is becoming quite tiresome."
Here Here! I'm so sick of people saying that Daniel, Rupert, and Emma will
be too old for their characters. They are the perfect age!!! Daniel's
turning 14 in July, Emma just turned 13 in April, and Rupert will be 15 at
the end of August.
Most TV shows cast people in their mid-20s to play teens. This is NOT even
the case. They are just around the ages of their characters. These three are
identified around the WORLD as Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Why would they want
to recast? They spent all this time looking for the perfect Harry Potter and
they are just going to throw that all away because Daniel's growing up?
Newsflash: Kids grow up! I don't understand why they don't get that.
I think when they renegotiate their contracts, they should just sign on for
the rest of the films. Say they decide to come back for GoF and OotP? Well,
why not just come back for the last 2? Why spend all that time and money
recasting? And what's all crap about not identifying with people who are
older their their characters!?! They are playing a role! Not themselves. It
shouldn't matter how old they are (special effects and makeup are around if
needed). No wonder so many people keep their age secret.
I read somewhere that said they are already in pre-production for GoF. Steve
Kloves is already writing the script. They are going to have to start
casting because they have MAJOR roles to fill: Viktor Krum, Fleur, Bill and
Charlie (they might have already casted...I don't know), Madame Maxime,
Karakaroff (sp?), Mad-Eye Moody, Mr. Crouch, Ludo Bagman, Cedric (since he's
not in PoA), Cho Chang (she's not in PoA either), Barty Crouch, various
Death Eaters, Dennis Creevy...(am I forgetting anyone else?).
They better get their acts together....if GoF is two films...they could have
two directors....and because each half of the book has a different feel they
could have Chris Columbus do the first part and Alfonso Cuaron do the second
half...or they could have someone entirely different in mind. I bet they
know more then they are telling and they have to hush it all up because of
contract negotiations.
It's times like this I wish I was a producer or casting director or someone
involved on Harry Potter because some of them need a reality check...<shakes
head>
Susan :o)
