FictionAlley and HPANA.com are reporting that Donald Trump is taking
over the next two Harry Potter movies for his TV show The
Apprentice, but they're making it international by teaming up with
The Office, from the BBC.
Here's what they say:
16 candidates from all walks of life, including graduates of
international universities and internationally famous movie stars
whose roles in future Harry Potter films have been eliminated, will
endure rigorous tasks each week while living together in a hip flat
in London's Docklands; they will also commute together each day to
Leavesden Studios, where they will be divided into teams each week;
some of the teams will be involved in preproduction work on Harry
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and some will work on the
currently-in-production Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Each
week, one team's fate will be decided by The Office's Ricky Geravis,
and the other will be controlled by The Apprentice's Donald Trump.
Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix, and Trump's apprentices
will move from the streets of New York to Leavesden Studios outside
London, where they will serve as the preproduction team for the film
version of OotP. Also, the under-18s from the Potter cast will
become "Junior Apprentices", and the series will show Dan Radcliffe,
Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright and the Phelps
brothers, among others, enduring rigorous tasks to test their
intelligence, their street-smarts and their ability to engage in
sneaky pranks on holidays.
While auditions are still going on for the "ordinary" Apprentices,
Trump and Geravis have already chosen the movie star team: Christian
Coulson, whose Tom Riddle will not be appearing in either film,
Chris Rankin, whose Percy Weasley will appear in three scenes or
less in both movies, Sean Biggerstaff, whose Oliver Wood has been
shamefully neglected in movies three, four and five, and David
Thewlis, whose Remus Lupin does not make an appearance in Goblet of
Fire.
