Im glad that they are doing two films, then they can put more important stuff in them, cuz otherwise they'd have to cut alot out. I just hope that they get the second one out fast after the first one, so i dont have to wait.

smart_hermione 01-13-2008 09:43 PM

i really hope the split it in two because then we would have the chace to see more details from the book

Eerised 01-13-2008 10:06 PM

Oh, yay! Then maybe it will actually be good!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, maybe that's asking too much???? Anywho, I sure hope it's good...although, I'll probably cover my ears and eyes the entire film.... Hmmm...

Well, here's hoping.

half_blood_prince 01-13-2008 10:12 PM

Lol. I just noticed that myself. Alan Gleeson? They should definitely get better researchers over at the Mail.

Personally I don't think they will make it into 2 movies, I mean the time and budget constraints would be the obvious reason. To make two movies would take forever and the costs would be outrageous. I think they can definitely cut it down to 1 reasonably sized movie, I mean for a lot of the book they seem to be hiding out in a tent doing barely anything anyway. And if the screenwriter can maybe not include additional scenes that were not there in the first place and are also quite unnecessary then I think a two part movie should not be required.

Lissy Longbottom 01-13-2008 11:07 PM

That would be great, since they don't want to leave anything out...but I'm still not so sure how I feel about this...

Sneakeh Cat 01-14-2008 12:14 AM

I Hope it's trueIt wouild be cool to see Stven make the film.Yah

griffin_girl 01-14-2008 12:20 AM

Hmm...that'll be hard...I mean, what would they call it? DH part I and DH part II?

but then DH is a bit shorter than OoTP so I think they'll manage to fit it into one movie...as long as they don't cut the very necesarry parts, no problem...they can cut most of the parts when the trio are travelling from forest to forest...*shrugs*

Mari of the Ocean 01-14-2008 12:30 AM

mmm I don't know if I would like two halves

I agree with you. (And, btw, your spoiler tags didn't work. Plus, we don't have to use them anymore...)

Deathly Hallows isn't like the other books. DH has almost no scenes that can be cut without messing up the plot. Since they can't cut anything, they can't make it only 2 and a half hours. I agree with splitting the movie. I just hope the time in between the two halves isn't long. That would make it both frustrating and annoying.

But if Steven Speilburg made DH, then it'd would truly be a fantastic movie.


[Btw, I, personally, do not like Alfonso Couron(sp). I didn't like PoA because of what he did with it. :(]

Melted 4 HP 01-14-2008 12:44 AM

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!


yes plz.

purebloodprincess87 01-14-2008 12:57 AM

idk how I feel about splitting it. I mean yes, we want the final battle to be good, and have everything in it, but come on if it's split in 2 movies then are they gonna put the first one out then wait 6months for the next one?

idk about u guys, but I wouldn't want to wait for the ending of DH

Suziella 01-14-2008 01:20 AM

i would sit through a 4 or 5 hour movie as long as it was precise and wonderful. If its not going to be good make it short but if it is make it long and cut it in half.

Fallen_Angel1721 01-14-2008 01:29 AM

I'd love 2 flims.....but theyd have to be careful where they split it and they have to relese them prettty close together or theres no point and they should have a long one........but id they don't then would cut out lots of little bits that are important

Deadmau5 01-14-2008 02:10 AM

I hope so, they need to make this movie good!

Weirdo5 01-14-2008 04:08 AM

Mua Hahaha!>:d Thats Awesome!:d

Fade2Black161 01-14-2008 04:21 AM

I think splitting the the movie is a great idea! They could make DH like 6 hours then YAY! I hope they do that!

Stalker 01-14-2008 05:12 AM

Thats a gooood idea but weren't they splitting GOF in half too??

Ginny GL 01-14-2008 05:33 AM

So finally there's some consideration for what should have been done since GoF?

Yay!

Little Trooper 01-14-2008 06:03 AM

I think thats a good idea. cause their is so much going on in the book that not much could be cut from it to mak a good moive. Just hafl to wait and see if its true or false.

Griffiths123 01-14-2008 06:28 AM

the thing is what can you cut out of the deathly hallows. Almost everything is important. So im all for splitting the movie up. It will be interesting how they finish the first half of the film though. There arent many climax's in the book where i can see it ending.

Regardless of whether it's 1 or 2, the Bill/Fleur romance is gone from Half-Blood Prince, which indicates they don't intend to use it in Deathly Hallows either. The epilogue doesn't seem possible to me at least because it would mean ending the film with actors we care little for. Plus, it's easily the worst part of the HP series :lol: I really don't reckon it'll be split.

I can't see most normal people (read: not fandom) wanting to pay twice to see one story. Heck, I'm a fan and it would displease me! :lol: Plus it'd take longer to film and produce and would not be as good as releasing one film in the summer of 2010 when, if all goes well, the HP world opens at Universal Studios. I'd imagine that would be W.B. ideal scoop, much like the double-whammy we had in 2007 with the book and the film. They could even have a premiere of the film at the park, like they did with PotC.

But I do hope Chris Colombus comes back
Columbus is good at lifting material, but he's got no artistic integrity whatsoever. Personally, I don't think it's a good thing to watch an exact replica of the books on the screen. I want to see something a little different, something that shows some creativity on the part of the director. Merely mirroring the source doesn't take much effort, and resulted, imo, in the two most boring films of the series. Plus I don't feel Columbus understood what it is to be British, and ended up too often using cliches. David Yates for Deathly Hallows, imo.

i think that with hp quality is only going to come with quantity-whenever they do edit it and fit it into one film, they leave things out, and it doesnt do the book justice-the first 5 movies are evidence of that. so i think dividing it will be better.
Being truthful to the book doesn't have to mean copying it. Order of the Phoenix was the best yet, imo, because it remained faithful to the spirit, and yet was the shortest. Which is proof that time doesn't have to be a negative constraint. Making something too long can also be bad, because it runs the risk of the story dragging. That was an issue that occured in the latter books of the series when the editors got a bit slack.

Exactly. Those bits were tedious. Yes they emphasised the hardship of the trio's task, but they won't make interesting cinema, visually. With Deathly Hallows, they'll want to mark out the "big" setpieces, and then fill the gaps in between. Kind of like with Goblet of Fire, but hopefully with better editing so it flows more smoothly.

I'm hoping for one very long well done movie, directed by a true Potter fan. No small orders from me! haha.

Ginpotter 01-14-2008 08:12 AM

Can we have the last movie like lotr?? The final part of LOTR was long but very very wonderful.. I think I'm not with splitting it but also I want most of the important scenes to be in. I don't know but I think WB won't agree on splitting the movie.
