Hell yeah! Hopefully it's true. That's the way it needs to be done to do any justice to it.

I could go for the two-movie idea. :chew

 

[pixletwin]

Cool. I like the idea. Thank you Peter Jackson, the visionary.

 

[IronFingaz]

Great news!!! I hope it true, it would really help the story. And with John Willams doing the score and maybe Spielberg or Del Toro directing, it could end up being one of the greatest fantasy movies of all time.

That totally works for me. Now, what I want to know is are they going to put them out months apart? Or are they going to do the first part in say December and the second half later that month or in January?

 

[Darth Caedus]

I do indeed hope it's true, I want the last film to give the book justice. But the reason they gave

But sources insist the reason behind the two-movie plan is artistic rather than financial.

WB just wants to soke up that extra profit, *******s....

 

[Shropt]

This ticks me off. They were supposed to break all the movies in to 2 parts starting with Goblet of Fire but they wussed out. Now they are breaking up the final film? They really should be doing this with HBP too.

A Kill Bill sort of release?

Yeah, something similar anyways.

Honestly, like OoTP, they can cut out LOTS of fat out of DH (like the 50000 pages they spent in the forest) if they really want to. But NO, they want to make 2 and sucker us into going to see the movie twice.

I'll be glad if it's 2 movies. I honestly felt like even if they "cut the fat" like some of the forrest stuff there is still WAY too much that's needed to make it only one movie.

Well, if they are releasing it as two films there will be a gap since they'll have to take the time to do the visual effect in each. But I think it would be interesting.

 

[pixletwin]

The only thing I could have seen them cutting out was all of the camping and Ron's leaving as well as maybe their visit to the Lovegoods and to Charlie and Fleur's house. This is good news though. I am glad all that stuff will still be in it.

I agree except for Charlie and Fleur's house. Dobby dies and is burried there. They really need to bring Dobby back and give him this part. The only way around this I suppose is if they apparate ( sp ) to the Burrow instead of Charle and Fleur's.

I will be PO'ed if they leave Dobby out and have Kreacher help them escape Malfoy manor and get killed. Kreacher needs to lead the house elves at Hogwarts just like in the book...PERIOD.

A film source said: "There's so much to fit that the view is the last movie should be in two halves. There is a huge battle when Harry, played by Daniel Radcliffe, takes on Voldemort that needs to be done really well."

That hardly seems definitive to me, lol. Sounds like some unnamed crew member thinks it "should" be two movies, but that's far from an official announcement from the producers.

I personally think that they could fit the last book into a "Return of the King" sized movie. It was really just a big chain of scenes with a rather straightforward plot and not a great deal of character development or exposition, wrapping up the whole story. Books four and five were both thought to be unfilmable and the same "two part release" theories kept cropping up, but OOTP wound up as the shortest film in the series from one of the longest books. Trimming the right scenes from Deathly Hallows (wedding preparations, tent scenes), we could get a three hour plus movie, no problem.

Obviously, reading the book is going to be a richer and fuller experience, but when isn't that true? In the end, I like to think of this as a sever part series of films, just like the books.

Ugh

I dont like the idea of watching one movie split in 2 parts. I will get half way to the end, then have to wait months to see the 2nd half.

Why not just make a good 3 hour movie?

 

[pixletwin]

I remember how frustrating it was watching Back to the Future 2 and getting to the end (which is the end of part one with Doc jumping in the streets after sending Marty back to the future) where Marty runs around the corner and tell Doc they have to go back in time and doc faints.. To be continued. I groaned. The theater groaned. It was a long wait for the next one.

Same with the matrix 2 and 3. They were both horrible, but I hated having to wait and watch the other part of hte crappy movie. And I am goin to have to see it imax too, so that's even more money wasted.

Well said Tom. I totally agree. Though an extra movie wouldn't really bother me, I'd prefer 7 movies for the 7 books. Steve Kloves has done a great job adapting the books and changing the order of things streamlining the story, I'm sure he could do the same for DH. The studio is nervous that their cash cow is ending and with the Hobbit 2 parter news they see the chance for more $$$.
