According to the BBC web site, WB is going to shoot two versions
simultaneously -- Philosopher's and Sorcerer's.

Sigh.
------------------

Sigh indeed. Why don't they just stick with the philosopher's stone? It
deserves a hatch mark in the negative zone because it shows a bad focus
for the movie. That's an incredible waste of effort, even if they only
do a little dubbing on one of the films.

Most everyone knows at this point that its original title was the
philosopher's stone. They could even have stuck in a few sentences to
clear things up for "stupid americans" but to force people to film two
scenes for each mention of the stone is ridiculous, and, IMO, shows a
bad focus before a single strip of film has been made.
