"Order of the Phoenix" Movie News [Archive]

So, with the startup of filming and casting and everything, I figure it's time to get a thread going. Plus, it'll give everyone who's never seen any of the films or read any of the books the chance to once again let us all know it. What do we know so far: Percy Weasley will be back, which is good because I liked his storyline in this book, as will Chris Rankin the guy who played him in the other movies. Katie Leung will return as Cho Chang, which I'm also in favor of. Same kids playing the trio and all the other major characters, natch. The director is a guy named David Yates who has mostly done British TV work up until now. Their choices, post Columbus, have been good so I have no reason to think this one'll will be bad.NEW STUFF: This scary motherfucker:<img height="250" src="http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41272000/jpg/_41272684_potter_b_203.jpg" width="203" border="0" />is playing Kingsley Shacklebolt. George Harris is his name. Usually he plays a bad guy, like some African warlord or Voodoo priest or somesuch. No Luna yet, although they've narrowed down the possibilities. And someone named Robbie Jarvis, I couldn't find a pic, is playing the young James Potter when Harry gets to see into Snape's worst memory. I think this is probably my favorite book, although POA is close, and HBP has grown on me. I think it lends itself to a very, very cool film, especially the climax. Lots of Sirius in this one, so I'm jazzed. That's all the news I have for now.

Was he in the last one, or did he just record his voice for his parts (Face in the fire, Voice-Over reading the letter to Harry)Yeah, I have now seen all the films. I know I've posted some things about this whole Potter thing but The last film looked pretty good so I thought I'd give it a chance. All 4 films are okay, the English kids do get on my nerves every once in a while.

More casting news. The first 2 are really more confirmation than anything else.Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge. Good call.<img height="180" src="http://www.castlerock.it/dbimg/news1102.jpg" width="180" border="0" />Helen McCrory as Bellatrix Black-Lestrange. Another good call, I think. Although I will be honest I was rather looking forwad to seeing Elizabeth Hurley in the role.<img height="191" src="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/anna/whoswho/images/anna.jpg" width="190" border="0" />New stuff:This broad, Natalia Tena, is playing Tonks whose role is sort of minor in this one, but expands in the next installment, and I have feeling will get bigger in the last one. This is the best pic I could find right now, but I think David Thewlis has done alright for himself.<img height="255" src="http://www.britishtheatreguide.info/images/gonetoearth.jpg" width="200" border="0" />Evanna Lynch was picked out of about a billion little English girls to play Luna Lovegood. She looks like she'll fit the role. <img height="440" src="http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41286000/jpg/_41286732_luna_evanna_big.jpg" width="276" border="0" />and lastly, Mrs. Figg, squib and crazy cat lady will be played by Kathryn Hunter. Interesting pic of her here with Wormtail in some other project.<img height="265" src="http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/mgm/all_or_nothing/_group_photos/kathryn_hunter1.jpg" width="400" border="0" />More to follow.<img src="http://members.hostedscripts.com/randomimage.cgi?user=blakjeezis" border="0" /> If I were any better, I'd have to be twins!!

James Potter, as a youth<img height="172" src="http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/gallery/albums/userpics/robbiejarvis.jpg" width="233" border="0" /> And more about the chick playing Tonks; In About a Boy she was the "bad girl" at school that the geeky kid impresses by singing Mystikal. This was a few years ago, but you get the idea.<img height="225" src="http://www.harrypotterfanzone.com/gallery/albums/userpics/normal_4.png" width="300" border="0" />And as far as Sirius is concerned, Gary Oldman has not actually been resigned to the role yet.; neither has David Thewlis to the role of Remus. Both are in negotiations, and David Heyman the producer of all the films has said that he foresees no problem getting them on board and they aren't shooting their parts for quite a while yet. Gary Oldman's management has said that there "are no plans yet" for Oldman to reprise the role, but that just sounds like negotiating bravado. I'mnot overly worried, but that being said, I would prefer it to get taken care of. Not that other actors would absolutely destroy the films, but, you prefer the continuity.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Oldman was initially rumoured to have been left out of the anticipated fifth installation in the franchise, but producers have launched a late attempt to sign him up after making some script changes. It is unsurprising that Oldman has been recalled as his character Black plays a central part in J.K Rowling's fifth novel.

Release date confirmed, July 13, 2007. David Heyman, producer, has said we'll have a trailer by the end of the year, but I think sooner, at least a teaser anyway.

I agree, the HP movies work better as X-Mas releases.  And of course the teaser trailer will be attached to some large X-Mas movie in Nov/Dec.

Small updates. The yong marauders have been cast, James Walters is to be Young Sirius Black, James Utchen will play a Young Remus Lupin and Alec Hopkins will portray Young Severus. I couldn't find any pictures, but hopefully some will pop up soon. No mention of young Wormtail. Don't know if it's because he's not in it (what a mistake that would be) or just hasn''t been cast yet. Two others I've never heard of, Apple Brook and Jason Piper, will play Prof. Grubbly-Plank and Bane the centaur repsectively. Small potatoes. Larger scale stuff, in replacement news,<img src="http://celebopedia.com/helena-bonham-carter/images/helena-bonham-carter.jpg" border="0" />debatable piece of ass, personally I think she's kind of a two-face but whatever, Helena Bonham Carter has replaced Helen McCrory as Bellatrix Black Lestrange. Apparently McCrory is gonna be "very pregnant" for the shoot so out she went. I dunno, HBC is a great actress, and will probably play the role very, very well, but I picture Bella being a little bigger, burlier. I'm about 85-90% in favor if this, so what the fuck. As always, all information is from <a href="http://www.hpana.com/" target="_blank">The Harry Potter Automatic News Aggregator</a>. I recommend it to any and all wishing to keep abreast of breaking Potter info.

So once again the film will have a double release, regular theatres and IMAX. There is also the possibility of at least portions of the IMAX presentation being in 3D depending on how the Superman version goes next week. Apparently the IMAX version of that has about 20 minutes of it in 3D. That seems pretty fucking cool, man. Imagine seeing the DA flying to the Ministry on the Thestrals in 3D, or the battle in the Ministry. I think you should all go see IMAX Superman just to make sure OOTP gets the same treatment.

WOudl look good as a yojng Remus if you ask me. There are no pics of young Remus, played by a James Utechin, or young Wormtail, so I guess we'll have to wait.

Couple of quickies. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie release date has been announced as Novemebr 21, 2008. I like this. I much more prefer the films as Christmas movies than summer movies. I don't know why. And amongst some other trivial bullshit pics, some have finally surfaced of something worthwhile: <a href="http://www.danradcliffe.com/news/fullnews.php?id=1509" target="_self" title="Snape's Worst Memory">Snape's Worst Memory </a> One of my favorite scenes in the book, if not the entire series. After reading Half-Blood Prince, I think the reason it's his worst memory has more to do with the rift it created between him and Lily than the humiliation he suffered at the hands of James and Sirius. But that's just a theory.

That was at the end of the summer, though, after Harry hadn't used magic in a while, at least not with anywhere near the regularity he does during the school year.

One of my friends that's Mr. Movie Biz told me, but I didn't ask for a source. None of my places have anything mentioned about it and it's such big news that I'm sure at least one of them would have it. So as of now, it is very, very unconfirmed.  Oh yeah almost forgot.

I have heard nothing further so hopefully it's a false positive. Obviously they would have to recast her, Hermoine couldn't be written out.

A description, brought to you in **SPOILER VISION ** of the upcoming Teaser Trailer, courtesy of Dissendium.com 
It begins with the familiar WB logo, flying through the clouds. We hear
Sirius Black speaking, talking about Voldemort's return, then we see
his face. Cut to Dumbledore, speaking to, presumably, the Wizengamot
warning them of Voldy's return, that they should not ignore the signs.
It quicky shows what looks like the windows of the Great Hall
shattering, but I'm not sure. Then we see Harry, close up with his new
hair cut (WHY!?), then Hermione, then Ron. We see shots of Hagrid, and
then Umbridge(very quick shot). A small snippet of Harry learning
Occlumency: Snape scorns him for being weak minded and Harry says
something like "I'm not weak!" to which Snape replies, "Than PROVE
it!!" Good lord, my memory sucks. Moving along...then we see:
BELLATRIX, WOOT! They show her in all her evil glory, in one shot where
it looks like she might be casting a spell or had just cast one. Cut to
some more rapid shots of Harry and the gang in some forrest and then:
dun, Dun, DUN!!!! VOLDEMORT!! IN SOME FOG!!!! LOOKING CREEPY!!!! Then
we see Harry kiss Cho. Yup. They show it. It's kind of a dark shoot, so
I couldn't tell if it was Cho, but I'm just guessing that it's her. Cut
to a shot of London from afar, with a pack of wizards and witches on
broomsticks flying towards it, then we see harry on his broom, from the
left side, with a few D.A. flying in the background, as they whizz fast
what looks like the London Bridge. And then my mind goes blurry. I
think this is wherer I got so excited that I stated clapping, and
stopped paying the utmost attention. Or maybe the teaser just ends
there, cause then we see the title, with the Harry Potter theme
starting up as they show it. FINITO. See it for yourself when Happy Feet coems out next week. And on the internet whenever knows after that.  *EDIT - Oh yeah, it's fucking cool.

Y'all are crazy! This book is a pretty close second to Prisoner of Azkaban for top of my list. Half-Blood Prince is gaining though.

phixion

11-23-2006, 06:03 AM

well heres my order: azkaban, half blood prince, goblet of fire, sorcerers stone, order of the phoenix, and finally chamber of secrets. my problem with order of the phoenix is that there main enemy for most of the book is the replacement headmaster. getting around her was more of the book than exploring and that annoyed the shit out of me.

Not strictly OOTP related but I'm not gonna start a whole new thread for it. For a search of anything and everything Harry Potter you can now go here: <a href="http://www.askpeeves.org/">Ask Peeves</a>. I haven't tried it out yet, but it's supposed to have an absolutely exhaustive archive of shit, and catalog of like every HP website, so give it a shot. I dunno.

Apparently his performance is getting very good reviews as well. In fact I read one thing that said he received a standing ovation on opening night I believe. It's quite a coup for him if he is indeed as good as the reveiws say he is. Equus happens to be one of my favorite books and is a very, very complex and disturbing play, and his character, Alan Strang, is the heart of the story. Good for him, I say. At least he's showing that he's got chops beyond Harry Potter.

Pic of the young marauders:<img src="http://media.mugglenet.com/i/youngmartrio.jpg" border="0" width="369" height="272" /> At a guess, I would say that's definitely Sirius and Peter, on the left and right respectively. I can;t tell if the middle is supposed to be James or Remus. He does look like Harry, and appears to be wearing glasses, but the hair color is totally wrong so who knows.Young Snape: <img src="http://media.mugglenet.com/i/youngsnape.jpg" border="0" width="281" height="201" /> Pretty good, I say. Edit: The more I look at that first pic, the more I think it's Remus.

Not OOTP news, but what the fuck, I'm gonna start a new thread? Everywhere has been reporting that Radcliffe has signed for the final two movies. Cool.

Thanks for the news BJ, as always. I just finished reading OTP and HBP again! I need help. You don't need to start a new thread, however I almost started a 'Things you've always wondered about Harry Potter but it's a book so I should just enjoy it' thread.Things like:Do they not investigate deaths? No wizard police because they just moved Dumbledore's body without any fuss. Obviously they know who killed him but they only have one witness.Why couldn't he just use a time turner to go back and save Sirius?Why can Peeves, a ghost, pick things up and throw them? Won't Harry be able to talk to Dumbledore again in his portrait? It seems like the portraits are still thinking figures that can interact.I'm just full of questions like this, I forget a lot of them but they crop up while I'm reading.

Do they not investigate deaths? No wizard police because they just moved Dumbledore's body without any fuss. Obviously they know who killed him but they only have one witness. It's open war at the moment. I'm sure once it's over, provided the good guys win, investigations will take place into all the deaths and appropriate punishments will be handed down.  Why couldn't he just use a time turner to go back and save Sirius?  I would assume for the same reason they don't use the Time Turner to go back and save everyone who dies tragically, where does it stop? You could spend forever rescuing people and re-rescueing and re-rescueing. Plus, I'd wager there's probably some law against it with a fairly hefty penalty.  Why can Peeves, a ghost, pick things up and throw them? A wizard did it? I have no clue.  Won't Harry be able to talk to Dumbledore again in his portrait? It seems like the portraits are still thinking figures that can interact. Well, as of the end of HBP, Dumbledore's portrait was snoozing comfortably, if I recall correctly. Don't know how long it takes a dead Headmaster's portrait to wake up, but once he does, I'm sure he and Harry will have lots and lots to talk about.

Reviews from a couple of very, VERY, preliminary screenigns in Chicago. I will say that they're both positive, but I'm spolier visioning them anyway, becasue ... well just because. Fuck you! That's my name. ** I should preface by saying there are a few mild spoilers, nothing that will ruin the film but if you want to go in completely unspoiled don’t read. If you want to know if your favorite part from the book was done well but don’t want too much detail it is safe. Approximately a week ago when I was purchasing tickets at AMC River East in Chicago, to see The Number 23 (not nearly as bad as many critics say by the way) I received passes for test screenings for two films. One film was the new Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard film The Brave One, the other was a secret. All it said was that it was a new holiday film from a major Hollywood studio and that it was geared more toward the younger audience. I am not the biggest fan of Jodie Foster’s mediocre run lately so I decided to see the latter film instead. Once we got in, a man announced they were excited for us to be the third audience anywhere to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Needless to say everyone went nuts. I was hoping this is what it was but the flyer said the film was PG and everyone seemed to think it was going to be Shrek 3, so I was pleasantly surprised. I am not a big Potter fan; I don’t like the way Rowling writes so I only read the second book in its entirety, and passed on the rest. I have however seen all of the films, which really only started getting really good with Cuaron’s “Azkaban,” which then was bested by Goblet of Fire in my opinion. The weakest of the series was without question Chamber of Secrets. So that’s where I stand in reference to the Potter franchise. The film was a success in many, in fact most, aspects. The acting is getting better and better and there were a few parts where Daniel Radcliff actually showed range. There really is no weak acting in the film and the standouts are Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood, and of course Gary Oldman as Sirius Black. Imelda Staunton’s Umbridge is good but wholly annoying. The movie moves along at a good pace until about halfway through and then gets bogged down a bit for most of the rest of the film. It is not horribly slow but it does drag, with the current running time being approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes there is definitely some editing that could be done to make this problem disappear. Now I am going to get into some of what I marked on the card they ask you to fill out at the end of the screening. I was asked what parts I didn’t like. I put that I found most scenes with Umbridge in them were kind of slow and got tiring very quickly. I also found the scenes with Hagrid’s brother to be incredibly awkward and clunky, which in my opinion should be excised. What parts did I like? I loved the parts where Dumbledore’s Army was training, I really enjoyed the scene where Cho and Harry kiss, and there is a comment made by Ron shortly after that was hilarious and left the entire theater in stitches. Another scene I really liked was toward the end when Dumbledore and Voldemort battle. The effects were nowhere near finished causing this scene to be really awkward, but at a screening like this you have to be able to overlook the unfinished effects, and while the scene was not that long or anything it was done well and will no doubt look great. I love seeing wizards fight. A few other questions were which characters I liked the most which were Ron, Sirius, (which is a no brainer-Oldman is awesome) Luna, (as I understand it a lot of fans of the books were afraid of how her character wou
