| | |  David Heyman talks Half-Blood Prince move & Deathly Hallows split (UPDATED)
Producer David Heyman spoke about the Deathly Hallows split (during which time the actors will have breaks from shooting) and the Half-Blood Prince move yesterday: Quote:
"Well, yes, everyone's got a break, in a sense," Heyman said in an interview on Dec. 3 in Beverly Hills, Calif., where he was promoting the comedy Yes Man. "It's not about breaking them into two. It's just the schedule is such that I guess it's long. There's more, so there's a lot of downtime without him. It's going well. It's great. I'm very, very lucky to be involved with it."
David states that Half-Blood Prince has fully completed production, and discusses the decision, again, to move the release date to July 17, 2009: Quote:
"No need to [do more work]," Heyman said. "If we had to come out now, we'd be fine. Warners asked it because of the writers' strike, because of various reasons. They have a shortage of product for next summer, and they asked if it's OK [to delay the release]."
Don't worry, Potter fans. Warner Brothers would not shortchange its most magical franchise. "They've been absolutely fantastic supporting these films," Heyman said. "You couldn't ask for a better studio in terms of what they've given us, the independence and support that they've given us throughout the process, so of course we said yes."
UPDATE: David also talked to USA Today as part of the Half-Blood Prince preview for the weekend marathon on ABC Family, discussing key elements of the sixth film: Quote:
"It's different than the other films," says Heyman. "It's not the non-stop action that some of the others are, although there is some action. It's more of an emotional film. We follow multiple stories: Harry's relationship with Ginny Weasley, Ron's relationship with Lavender Brown. … There also is Hermione's discomfort with Ron's relationship with Lavender. There's Draco Malfoy's story. And then there's Harry's relationship with (Hogwarts headmaster and professor) Dumbledore. We're following these multiple stories that enrich the canvas."
And Ron discovers his newfound Quidditch talents, after thinking he had taken a good-luck potion.
"Ron is scared witless for the game," says Heyman. " So, Harry pretends to slip him some felix felices, a liquid luck potion. All of a sudden he's imbued with fresh confidence, and he's remarkable in the Quidditch match. He's performing miracles. With that comes incredible delight and maybe a little bit of cockiness."

Geez WB! If The Film Is all Done do yourself's a favour and RELEASE IT already! It would give yourselves most of your fans back.

if the writers actually sat there and thought about new ideas then we would have new ideas for new films. personally thats what they should have done, since its full of a lot old people that basically suffer maybe possibily from memory loss is where they get the idea of remaking classics, pushing the dates for normal scheduled releases.

I guess business is business. We can't do anything about it; we'll just have to wait for another 7 months. Those 7 months will go fast! Right? | |

I'm still mad at WB but I guess there's nothing we can do about it :/ And these comments only make me even more curious about the film.

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

:arg: I was having a hard time waiting for Nov. 21 so when I first heard they moved it back I almost had a panic attack. Now it seems time is moving slow or its just still a long way off.

I no longer give any credence to whatever comes out of David Heyman's mouth.

The point of being on strike is ruined if they had worked during it.

Except no one thinks of original ideas anymore- all of the movies seen today are based off of real life experiences, books, or musicals.
I don't like that excuse and I don't appreciate that keep saying it. It's over with, yeah fans are still mad but clearly those people aren't going to listen to excuses anyway.

I'm still pretty upset with how WB dealt with this whole date switch thing. Yeah, they could get more money if they have it set to release in the summer - but either way HP fans will see it no matter the release date. But whatever, there's not a whole lot we can do about it. They've made their mind; we're just going to have to live with it and wait.
