Mike Newell? Read his filmography pero a few films? Mona Lisa Smile, Pushing Tin, Donnie Brasco, Four Weddings and a Funeral ... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[L i N d $ @ y]

okay, so anong connection nya with HP? [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

[blueangel]

He's the GoF director. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

OMB, I love Four Weddings and A Funeral...for sure GoF is gonna be in a completely different style than PoA

[blueangel]

Maybe, pero sabi ni Newell sa interview before eh susundan nya ang ginawa ni Cuaron ...

[Hua Ze Lei]

really? that's interesting...coz from what I've seen he has a different style from that of Cuaron

[blueangel]

Maybe sa ano lang, sa movie, sabi nya, if i'm not mistaken, na gusto nya yung darker turn sa PoA ... Teka, tingnan ko kung mahanap ko yung interview. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Hua Ze Lei]

ah okay. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It's weird coz GoF is a dark book and here comes Newell to direct it and he makes happy, fluffy movies. but whatever, I'm just glad we're getting GoF the movie! [img]smilies/clap.gif[/img]

Newell believes that it's possible to take such an established franchise as the Potter films and make it your own. "Obviously, that's what you try to do. Chris Columbus made the first two, and those were a particular kind of film. Alfonso Cuaron is making the third, and it is radically different, and for me there is a story worth telling." Newell confirmed that the original children will be returning for Goblet. "But, whether (Daniel Radcliffe) will be back beyond this or not, I don't know. But he will be the same age as the character should be. The (other two kids) will (repeat their parts as well). But listen, one of the reasons to do it is that the way you literally make a film is that you take a subject and you hone it and you hone it and you hone it until it is an arrow, and it goes as straight as you can make it to the middle, if you can manage it, of the target. These stories aren't that at all. These are like Bollywood in that they're all singing, all dancing. They're like variety shows and you can have that spine to them, but, at the same time, you've got to hang the baskets of flowers off of the spine. That's a huge and very amusing challenge to take on."

He sees Goblet as "an absolute classic thriller. At the beginning, the antagonist, the anti-hero, the creature of supreme evil has a plan. He needs one tiny, tiny little thing from the boy: three drops of blood. Therefore he sets up this gorgeous piece of clockwork which will get him what he needs. And the boy, classically, starts, as all thriller heroes do, in complete ignorance, and then you watch him ratchet around until and he and the antagonist are in exactly the same place at the same time, knowing everything." Asked if there is one section of the book that, as a filmmaker, is especially irresistible for him to tackle, he is very clear and excited. "Yeah, the big denouement, the big shootout at the end is very exciting, not least because the antagonist starts as a kind of horrible foetus wrapped up in a bundle of rags and has to become this great looming presence. You have to transform it."

Yan na yata ang pinakacomplete na interview nya eh. So ayun ... Maybe we won't see the exact same style from him, kasi nga, very different directors sila, I guess we'll see kung paano lalabas itong PoA at kung paano nya gagawin yung GoF. [img]smilies/lol.gif[/img]
