Deathly Hallows Part I and II
Monday, January 14th, 2008 at 11:10 am by Jami
After reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (yes, I actually read something without pictures and word balloons) and taking a few moments to absorb what I had just read, my first thought was how in the bloody hell will they fit all this into even a three hour film? If the rumors are true, we won’t have to worry. The film adaptation of Deathly Hallows will be split into two films. I imagine they’ll be filmed back-to-back and hopefully be released within the same year. It will be really frustrating to wait a full year to see the ending. Sure, at this point most of us know what happens anyway, but it would really suck to have to wait that long to see it on the screen.
There are also rumors of the studio courting a big name director, like Steven Spielberg, to bring the series home. That could be interesting. If it is indeed Spielberg and he does indeed take the gig, it’ll be interesting to see how he interprets the material and how well it matches up with the previous films. I think the Potter films have been getting better and more open, really stretching what they do with the material while still rooted in the soul of the books.
When the Potter films finally come to an end, what giant fantasy franchise will take their place? Will Narnia rise to the challenge? Will anyone bother with another Eragon film? Or is there something waiting in the wings that hasn’t yet hit the mainstream? What say you mighty readers?
