Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I'm gonna be pretty dissapointed if i watch this film and it turns out Lord Voldemort is again the person behind it all. Ray Barnsbury
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 BTW seeing as how this movie is from Alfonso Cauron' the maker of Y Tu Mama Tambien I am sure we can expect to see Potter getting some hardcore shagging going on! Seriously though can SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME hopw the hell this guy was chosen for this movie? Seriously I am at a loss for words and am completely bewildered by this choice,I mean here you have producers looking for a replacement to Crhis Colombus and presumably you are looking for someone with similar filmaking qualities. So you say "OH YEAH! Lets get that guy who makes those steamy Latin movies. I mean, thats clearly a pretty similar background to the Harry Potter films right?".Hey look I am not bashing the choice or anything as far as I have heard he is a very good director. However, I can only envision a collective "WHAT THE F%^&!?!!?" being uttered in the room when the producers heard his name mentioned for consideration.
Justin 2 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Heres a chance for Williams to correct one of his wrongs by writing a theme for all three main characters. Like he should've done for Solo.I see nothing bad about Solo not having a theme. It's just a simple lack of good. Justin -Who thinks the Weasley's have a theme. It's heard in The Sorting Hat cue when Ron goes up to the hat and the first track of CoS when Harry see's Ron in the car.
Elmo Lewis 7 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I mean here you have producers looking for a replacement to Crhis Colombus and presumably you are looking for someone with similar filmaking qualities. So you say "OH YEAH! Lets get that guy who makes those steamy Latin movies. I mean, thats clearly a pretty similar background to the Harry Potter films right?".I am confused. Cuaron also directed The Little Princess. Why is he to be judged by this other movie, when it ammounts to, in quantity, the same as that greatly directed little fairy tale?Also, the plural in your post in wrong. He has only made one (excellent) Mexican-Spanish movie with lots of character-driven sex scenes.How many of his movies have you seen to reach that conclussion?-Ross, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0190859
Morlock 12 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 He also made 'Great Expectations', which has a fantastic first half. Y Tu Mama Tabien was the best Mexican movie I've ever seen. Possibly the best Spanish-language movie I've seen.
Bart 0 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Cuaron wont be changing the story a bit, he has no power to do so. Â Chris Columbus has a tight fist on the project with the intent of keeping all the HP films true to the books. Usually it's the scriptwriters who change things to the story, especially if the director is a hired gun and not the creative driving forceAnd here's the first proof that Cuaron has done some radical changes!So... Who can remember this Jack-in-the box from the book?And, it's related somehow to Macbeth, where also the lyrics from 'Something wicked this way comes' came from...
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Yeah, I saw that pic too. I was wondering what that was supposed to mean.Interestingly the film isn't even out yet and digital bits rumor mill is saying the film will be released on DVD in November of this year.Seems like guessing to me. I think there was a 5 month period or something between the last two films' theatrical and DVD release. All you have to do is count.- Marc, expecting November to be an expensive month.
ocelot 565 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 A good director is a good director in any realm. Pretty much everything that I have seen of Cuarons has been directede incredibly well. It's like saying Spielberg should not tackle Schindler's List or Saving Private Ryan because he did ET, or he shouldn't have done ET because he is obviously a "Horror" composer because fo Jaws. Please, Cuaron in my book is an excelent choice for this film. I would imagine any room of inteligent producers going, of course, he's young, he's hip, he's hot and he is versatile, choose him.
Ren 77 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 man, this is starting in again. . . all the people bashing potter when they haven't read.
HPFAN_2 0 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 From the trailer the movie looks like a tim burton film and that's in no way shape or form bad. I hope Cuaron comes back for Ootp. I haven't seen any of Mike Newell's film so i don't know if i should look forward to a good movie when going to see GOF. Which is my favorite of the 5. So he better not screw it up! And the producer's are making it into a 2 and half hour movie not two seperate movies or a three hour movie. Which means alot of cuts!
Lurker 5 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 And the producer's are making it into a 2 and half hour movie not two seperate movies or a three hour movie. Which means alot of cuts!Maybe that means they'll be concerning themselves with making good movies and not merely faithful adaptations.Neil
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 That 2-1/2 thing is just a rumor. You can bet that Goblet will push and or exceed 3hrs.
Lurker 5 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 That 2-1/2 thing is just a rumor. Â You can bet that Goblet will push and or exceed 3hrs.And what can you base that on? Has any footage even been shot yet?Neil
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 8, 2004 Author Posted January 8, 2004 I read it somewhere, Leaky Cauldron, Mugglenet. The film doesn't begin shooting for a few months but Newell said something to the effect the film will be as long as it needs to be. A 3 hourish film should be able to contain the best of the novel without hurting your behind.The 2-1/2 hour thing came from WB wanting to maximize its return, but thanks to Return of the King, that theory sank with the Titanic.
Ren 77 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 LOL. i think most of the masses are ok with 2:30 + movies now.
Guest Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I cannot wait for this score. Been listening to the first two on shuffle with a bunch of other scores and I really enjoy them. I love the book of PoA and I am sure Williams' score will not disappoint. I have hopes that it will top the first two.
Elmo Lewis 7 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I wouldn't miss much from a 15-minute version of GoF.
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 BTW about those comments above regarding Cauron. I am aware of his prior filmaking record. I think I came off sounding wrong in that last post. My main point is I just felt it was a little wacky fot this guy to go from making this steamy Latin picture to a Harry Potter film. Uusually Hollywood personalities such as actors, directors; etc. are most closely identified by their last project.
Bart 0 Posted January 9, 2004 Posted January 9, 2004 Cuaron has stated several times that he doesn't see Hollywood as some heaven for filmmaking, but just as a stop in his creative life.
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Cuaron has stated several times that he doesn't see Hollywood as some heaven for filmmaking, but just as a stop in his creative life. Well I am certainly not going to attempt any challenges of this statement. Hollywood is definately not a hub for creativity or conematic vision.
Ollie 1,375 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I'm just excited about the score for HP3 to be released plus Williams score for Terminal as well.-Mark, who dreads the thought of having to sit thru 3+ hours of Harry Potter in a theatre.
Lurker 5 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I think that was over the top NeilWhat can I say, it made me laugh.Neil
King Mark 3,975 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Do the responsible thing,ban yourself for a week!K.M.,
Morn 8 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 "We are from France". Jeeze more anti-european political humour from americans, ban yourself Neil.
Morn 8 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Duh to think I share thoughts with King Mark...
Lurker 5 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I see that you two never watched Saturday Night Live.Neil
HPFAN_2 0 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I hope this one does good at the box office.
Morn 8 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Sure I have, but just mocking the way you overreact to comments on America.
King Mark 3,975 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 I see that you two never watched Saturday Night Live.Neiloh dear,it was a joke.But after finally reading page two of the twins tread i understand tempers might be a bit sensitive the last few days.K.M.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,392 Posted January 10, 2004 Posted January 10, 2004 Please don't get him started on that here
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 11, 2004 Author Posted January 11, 2004 I thought it was funny Neil, Joe, who won't play PC games
QMM 4 Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Anybody know when the next trailer will be released?
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 I think that was over the top NeilWhat can I say, it made me laugh.NeilIt also brings back that good ole notagic feeling of when SNL was actually still funny. Ahhh Neil .....Thanks for the memories ......
QMM 4 Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Mark, who dreads the thought of having to sit thru 3+ hours of Harry Potter in a theatThat's what they said about ROTK and then they loved it
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,392 Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 If a film is good then the running time does not matter.
Johnnyecks 53 Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 Although I do like the longer films of today because it gives you more time to get more deeply involved in the film, and therefore possibly get more out of it, I do miss the fluff 83-90 min. films of the 80's!One more post away!!!
Ollie 1,375 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Mark, who dreads the thought of having to sit thru 3+ hours of Harry Potter in a theatThat's what they said about ROTK and then they loved itYeah but unlike the Harry Potter films the LOTR movies are actually great films.If Williams wasn't scoring these film I would have no interest at all.
Ren 77 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 I think the lOTR"s have much more weight than the HP's but hopefully that will change while they are under new direction.
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 BTW how many Harry Potter books are there going to be total? Has Rowling ever answered this?
Mr. Breathmask 624 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Seven. Each book covers one year of education at Hogwarts. Students graduate at the end of their seventh year. Ye Gods Rogue! Get reading already. - Marc
Justin 2 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Harry get's held back in his sixth year didn't you hear? Justin
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 Yeah but unlike the Harry Potter films the LOTR movies are actually great films. Â thats one man's opinion. Joe, who hasn't had to suffer through the 3rd lotr.
Morlock 12 Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Yeah, all die hard Tolkein fans I know personally hate the 2nd and 3rd films. And I think only the 3rd films is great. The first two IMO are almost good and good.
