Thanks, but there'd be no point in sending my opinions to WB and co. Sadly, I think they do get it, but just don't care, which in my opinion is worse and makes me mad! They'll make money anyway, without making great films, so that's what they do.

Also, I agree that Terry Gilliiam isn't interested now. Sorry, I should have made it more clear. JKR was keen for him to be considered at the beginning of the franchise, and he actually met up with WB. I didn't know he thought they should wait, but from his own interviews, he was interested. Sadly the meeting was, how shall I put it? Tetchy! He wasn't impressed at being passed over, and why, and now describes the film as a factory line. Churning out produce with no thought of quality. I know he can be tricky, and can't be trusted with a budget, but he would have been less workmanlike that Yates and Newell. The films would have been incredible to watch and he might have fought to protect the source material and characters more. JKR must know it as well, which is why she wanted him in the first place.
