Would Columbus get rid of Cuaron?

[Tyler Hewitt]

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-
I agree with you that I think Cuaron is going to do
amazing things with PoA. I was also thrilled when I
found out Gary Oldman was playing Sirius Black. I'm
looking forward to an entertaining, original film that
succeeds as both a FILM and as an adaptation.
I seem to recall reading someplace that Cuaron has
already said he was not going to do GoF. Don't
remember where I read this, maybe in the NY Times? I
think he has other projects he wants to work on. I
also recall Columbus saying something to the effect
that he doesn't really want to do GoF either, that
it's 'too soon'. So, keep your fingers crossed for
Terry Gilliam! (yeah, that will NEVER happen. He's
brilliant, but the studios seem to hate him).
