"Tyro in 'Potter' brew, Helmer Yates rises to 'Phoenix'"

[Petra]

Variety: "...[Brit helmer David] Yates, 
who sparked to the idea of a film in 
which the student wizard navigates the 
hormonal cauldron, will likely have a 
directing deal in place by next week."

The man close to being set to direct HP5 
has only one film credit, "The Tichborne 
Claimant" from 1998 but has done award 
winning television such as "The Way We 
Live Now" and "State of Play."  See 
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0946734 for 
his entry there for other credits.

Anyone seen these projects of Yates's?

Currently also on Yates's plate: 
directing Jennifer Connelly and Paul 
Bettany in "Brideshead Revisited" to 
be distributed by WB's specialty/indie 
films/classics arm, Warner Independent.  
If production starts in late 2005 as 
planned, HP5 should hit theaters in 
summer 2007.

The Variety article was posted on 
Variety.com a few hours ago and will be 
in print come dawn.
