The Eighth Harry Potter Movie

(1/18) > >>

That's right, there will be an eighth Harry Potter movie, though it's not what you might initially think.

Yes, it's obviously a big part milking the franchise, but not by adding additional crap on top of the series. It seems that Warner Brothers has decided it prudent to split the Deathly Hallows into two movies and I couldn't agree more. The last three movies (Though I enjoyed Order of the Phoenix enough) were severely gimped by time constraints. They've come to the (Accurate) conclusion that there is effectively no way to properly trim this one like the others and still come to a proper conclusion.

I am really happy about this as it means they won't have to chop the book up so badly, but I really wish they would release the two a little closer together. It would be great if there could be some overlap where both films were in theaters at the same time so you could buy a ticket for both and watch them in the same day. November to May is a long time to wait for the second half of a movie.

::sigh:: Okay...they were tossing around the idea to spit 4 into two parts too...so why is it OK to split up DH but not GoF? I mean, yeah it's the "end" and we need the "whole" story...but still...
I just want to see "eighth" one then. I am seriously only seeing the movie to watch Alan Rickman die so I can cry. Seriously. I have no interest in really seeing six or "seven". The movies were fun when they started, but after they destroyed PoA, I lost my faith in them.

i jumped out of my seat thinking there would be a new book as well!!! anywya, sounds like a good idea, hopefully much more of the story can be included then rather than cutting vast segments
but is it definetly going to be a big gap between them, or will they be released with just a months difference?

About six months between the two November 2010 and May 2011), which I feel is reasonable. If they released them only a month apart, they'd cannabalize each other in terms of box office gross. Having them any further apart, though, runs into issues with pacing. I think they're hitting the sweet spot on it.
