[HPFGU-Movie] Re: petition to fire Gambon/yet again!!!

[Andrea Grevera]

  More 2 cents:  I saw Gambonin an interview before GOF (sometime in the summer) and his words were that he wasn't going to play DD as before, he didn't like DD that way.  he did not want to play him the way the books had him:  He was not going to read the books: He was going to play DD his way.
  So no amount of directing would help someone who thought that way.

  i have to put my two cents in:
     
    i think it's the directing, not the acting, on his part.  I think that he was told to go in the direction he's been in.  If not, he would have been corrected on set, no?  no, he's not as good as his predecessor, goddess bless him, but i think he's as close as anyone's going to get.  i think its a shame that anyone should sign a petition to get the poor guy fired.  wouldnt you feel bad signing that, knowing it was your fault he was fired????  and anyways, anytime they change people to play a character for whatever the reason, it's ALWAYS a let down, since you now have a 'character identity' with that particular actor.
     
    just my two cents.

  Sionwitch:
  Marlo, I agree with you there, maybe if Gambon were directed better
  and be ask to act more like the Dumbledore from the books he would be
  just fine. Today I was watching the PoA DVD and Gambon is really good
  in it, he really has the playful and mischievous Dumbledore
  characterization there. But then yousee him in GoF screaming and
  jumping around, and I wonder why such a change form the Dumbledore
  from PoA?. I can only think of the director, because I think the
  script was written for the same person, so the only answer would be
  the director. I only can hope that the new the director and the next,
  direct Gambon to be like in PoA. I will write to the person who
  started the petition to ask her if she can change it  to ask Gambon to
  act more like the Dumbledore from the books.
