And that does look more epic, which is what the last one needed. But 3D? Oh...

Re: Harry Potter
I passed on that one as well. Still haven't seen it, as I'm pretty sure one of our local theaters will be showing a double feature of both parts 1 and 2 (I'm assuming they will, since they did it for the Twilight movies).
Might as well wait and see the entire thing at once.

Harry Potter and the Next Seven Movies
Yep...you heard it here first: word on the set of the HP8 (Deathly Hallows Part 2) reshoots last month is that WB are looking to expand the final moments of the last film into a spin-off series that will fill in backstory (Harry's parents' struggle with Voldemort), flesh out other characters (Dumbledore: Origins?) and continue other plot lines (with "future" characters intro'd at the end of Hallows 2, that I won't name in case there's anyone still waiting to know how it all ends).
The rumor is for another seven films, though naturally that could change. The new series hasn't been given a name and nothing about casting is known, although I'd be surprised if established actors didn't return for the most part. JK's involvement isn't known, but it is expected that she would be approving or contributing stories (with much of it obviously already based on what she has provided in the books).

More after deathly hallows part 2? I thought the series just ended off with Deathly hallows, unless if Rowling is writing prequels to potter(which in some cases, certain aspects of it have been covered up i think).
Re: Harry Potter and the Next Seven Movies
JK doesn't approve, but Warner put it into their contract that they could make additional films (like Disney says, as "character marketing") with or without her--And if they happened to write a book version to tie into the movie, well...Darkblade wrote:More after deathly hallows part 2?

They took heck from the fans for it, of course, but like the Pirates movies, "Everyone has another sequel ready on Thursday night."
They're just announcing that they could, and just testing the fan waters to see whether they could follow Hobbit and X-Men:FC's lead for backstories/spinoffs. It's just for attention at the moment; just ignore/censure them and it'll go away.
)Sorry.
But really...I can't believe the number of people who are taking this as serious news! You would think with some of the jokes in that vid that most people would at least smell something fishy.
But then again, I'm one to talk. After all, I bought it when this site was purchased by AOL.

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift--that is why it's called the present."
Yep, that AOL story was a good one!
That HP story actually made it to a few sets, where someone kind of half-heard about this report and, by way of "Chinese Whispers" by the time it had done the rounds, it had become "real".
That's actually how I heard about it, from someone on the HP8 set last month, who told me about it. When I went to search about it online I saw it was from The Onion and, well, the longer you watch that video, the more obvious it is.
My friend was disappointed when I told him he'd been "had"!
