That looks relatively interesting. Is it a new director now?

Misawa

And I would rather die.

They could have at least casted a better actor for the little kid. He's awful.

I agree with Misawa, that little kid pisses me off. :P

Same one as Order of the Phoenix - David Yates. Very good :D

It's not his fault what he has to say it, that's the director.
I thought he was pretty good tbh, although they could have got somebody who looked abit rough-er :)

It would really be the Screenwriter, the director would tell him how to say it :P

No, he's not very good.

I thought he was better than the previous three! Its not hard to beat Christopher Colombus, but I thought it would be hard to outdo Mike Newell and Alfons Cuaran, and he did a really good job in my opinion :D Anywho, David Yates is set to do this film, and the next two.

Alfonso was the worst director ever, just so he could prefect the third movie (which wasn't all that great) he took almost 2 years to complete it so a year of no harry potter movie ;( but yeah david yates is amazing x

Well ever since Alfonso started directing the movies started getting released 18 months apart. I think its down to the content of the movies, and how much filming and post production etc that goes on that really determines how long it takes :P

I wonder what they're all going to do after the movies ;O

Isn't it based of the book? The words are almost word for word the same for little Voldemort. So really, J. K. Rowling wrote it ;)

The screenwriter decides what is going to be in the film and of course will use dialogue from the book, but has to condense the novel into 120 pages of A4.

The boy is the young Voldemort when he's in the orphanage.

surely its better to use someone related to the actual voldemort so it looks similar to him... unless you didnt know but im guessing you did

looking good and cant wait to see it. Still cant be bothered to wait another 2-3 years until the final film is released the ending anyway. Dumbledore looks fragile at the beginning which is probably what JK had in mind when writing the book.

Well, no, not really. The screenwriter Steve Kloves will obviously use some dialogue, but just because he adapting from the book doesn't mean it will be word for word. Quite the opposite infact. Though J.K Rowling does have a very close relationship with the film makers and will approve the script before its actually finalised, so if there is something in there she doesn't like she can cross it out. But really it would be down to Steve Kloves, the screenwriter.

The screenwriter decides what is going to be in the film and of course will use dialogue from the book, but has to condense the novel into 120 pages of A4.

Or in Harry Potters case about 150 sometimes (if of course we are going on the traditional format that one page = approx one minute).

The boy is the young Voldemort when he's in the orphanage.

Yes I do know thanks. I was actually saying that Hero Fiennes-Tiffen who plays Young Voldemort is the nephew of Ralph Fiennes who plays Big Scary Voldemore ;)!

surely its better to use someone related to the actual voldemort so it looks similar to him... unless you didnt know but im guessing you did.

Well, not really. Hundreds of films get by with on-screen relationships when the actors aren't related to each other. Take Mamma Mia for example - Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfriend have no relation to each other, but in the film they are mother and daughter. They look like each other enough for it to pass. I would rather have someone who can actually act and look similar enough rather than just being cast because their uncle is the older version of them. Innit.

Misawa

30-07-2008, 05:46 PM

Rowling said she would only allow film adaptations if she had complete creative control.

Sammeth.

30-07-2008, 05:56 PM

Rowling said she would only allow film adaptations if she had complete creative control.

That is untrue. She has taken a very active role and is very interested, and actually enjoys the films unlike most authors who live to see adaptions of their works. J.K. Rowling let's everyone get on with everything. She only had two conditions - one being that the cast remained British, and the second that she could go through the script to help make sure its accurate and in compliance with future books (which doesn't really need to happen anymore, but Im sure she will anyway). Saying she has complete creative control would suggest that she has final say over sets, designs, costumes, cast, crew etc etc.

I can't wait for this one, I might re-read the book to get the jist of stuff again, I have to admit, it looks pretty cool though. :)!

30-07-2008, 06:54 PM

so... is this the last one? I only watch the films.

Inseriousity.

30-07-2008, 06:57 PM

I didn't really like the trailer but I still can't wait. :)

I liked young Voldemort. I did expect him to sound different but apart from that, he's great. Got that 'voldy' look in his eye. Voldemort isn't tough in a physical way imo so it doesn't matter that the kid isn't. He has that evil look that makes him scary and makes him powerful and tough.

Misawa

30-07-2008, 07:06 PM

There's the "Deathly Hallows" to adapt, which is the last I think. Thank Christ.

Sammeth.

30-07-2008, 07:20 PM

Which is being split into two films. Thank Christ. :D

Well it all comes down to a matter of opinion. I thought he was quite good at acting as that kid. Very menacing and it felt like he had anger in him then ;)

Oh it is down to opinion indeed, but I was just saying that just because they need someone to play a young Tom Riddle, doesn't mean they should go after Ralph Fiennes nephew :P!

31-07-2008, 04:37 PM

oh i know but im pretty sure he went through all the audition processes like everyone else and it turned out he was what they were looking for. :)

Hmmm, well the movie buisiness is certainly a sneaky one. I still think the nepotism factor helped him a lot.

Misawa

31-07-2008, 05:28 PM

Still doesn't change the fact that that kid can't act.

Given the makeup given to Voldermort to make him look like so, i would hope a child woudn't bear resemblence.

yeh i know but still. (dont worry i thought about that after i posted it lol. Its still the feeling that he would look that :P. Also, anyone know if they used someone related to him for the teen voldemort?

No they didn't, as the teen was cast in Chamber of Secrets, which was before Ralph Fiennes first appearance as Voldemort.

03-08-2008, 10:50 PM

Well they have to change the storyline slightly due to the fact its not possible to retain all the information from the book.

I heard something like that too. That they're changing who the Half-Blood Prince is or something. :S

They wouldn't change something like that which is so integral to the plot.

What they are doing however, and what has been confirmed by Warner Bros., is that they are adding a pacing scene which will portray how dangerous Voldemort is and its a scene that hasn't been adapted in any way shape or form from the books but has been thought up by the screenwriter.

03-08-2008, 11:38 PM

Have to admit after watching that trailer its good if you have read the book because you know whats going on already in the trailer so it makes more sense if you think it looks good or not, if you get what I mean..

Don't think the trailer was very non-reader friendly though and the kid looks a really bad actor

Misawa

Is is too kiddy for me. And the "universal" humour/ content just doesn't cut it for me. I've only seen the first and half of another, and I'm not bothering with the others.

The first two were very geared towards children, however as the films have progressed, the darker and more adult they have got. I will be impressed after reading Deathly Hallows if they manage to keep the movie version down to a 12A and still stay true to the book.

Misawa

Sammeth.

04-08-2008, 03:19 AM

You can be assured that they will, cut it down as much as possible to obtain the certificate, and I'm sure that recent releases like Hancock, a 12A that should have been rated a 15, Potter won't have such controversial content by comparison.
Oh I know for sure that they will cut it down to 12A, Im not that stupid that I think they will cut out a key part of their audience - however I said if they stayed true to the book I doubt it would get the rating. Its because I was refuting your claims that it's a childrens series (which you based your decision on after watching one and a half of the soon to be Six Film Franchise) when a lot of the time it's anything but.

Or they could have the certificate 15A, they have that, I think...

However in Ireland they have G, PG, 12A, 15A, 16 and 18 - but that doesn't include Northern Ireland I don't think.

Misawa

04-08-2008, 02:44 PM

21 has been abolished for about 20 years and R has never been in existence in the UK, it's in the USA, where you have to be 18+ or accompanied by an adult to view the film. You can be accompanied by an adult with any rating in the USA if you're not old enough.

The most "extreme" rating in the UK is X, which is what garners pornography.

04-08-2008, 03:30 PM

Just a note...

Rufus Scrimgeour (the new Minister) will NOT be in the film.
Fleur and Bill, and the whole marriage will NOT be in the film.
The love triangle between Harry, Ginny and Dean is UNLIKELY to be in the film.

Isn't Fleur and Bill's marriage in the 7th book. He only proposes in the 6th....

I was talking about Britan :)

Congrats, and while you were doing that I was talking about Ireland and Northern Ireland because Imp! asked "Isn't there a 15A?". Seeing as she hails from Northern Ireland I thought it would be best to talk about that - not Britain ;)!!!!
