[HPFGU-Movie] Would Columbus get rid of Cuaron?

[Taryn Kimel]

Emily:
I just had a scary thought...  I'm one of those folks who thinks 
Cuaron is going to do amazing things with PoA.  What if (or, when) 
Cuaron does an outstanding job, and everyone says he made the best 
movie of the three, and maybe even gets a nod for Best Director, 
Columbus gets jealous?  I know the directorship (is that a word?) is 
up in the air right now for GoF, and there's certainly the 
possibility that Cuaron won't want to continue with GoF, but could 
Columbus get rid of him out of spite?  I don't mean to imply that I 
think Columbus is an evil man or anything <g>, but he's already said 
he would consider directing GoF.  Would he force out a better 
director because everyone thought Cuaron did a better job?  (I'm 
assuming that as a producer, he may have the power to do that.  
Please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Me:
Well, WB has the last say on something like Directorship, and I think they would be smart enough that, if raves started about Cuaron (especially if he got an Oscar nod), they'd keep him.
