The latest edition of "Entertainment Weekly" includes a brief article on the next two Harry Potter films, Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. GOF Director Mike Newell said that he is "terribly pleased with the film" and will be showing it to Warner Bros. executives for the first time in two weeks.
"I'm terribly pleased with the film," says director Mike Newell of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the fourth movie adapted from J.K. Rowling's series of novels, due November 18. In two weeks, Newell will screen his work (minus completed special effects) for Warner Bros. brass for the first time. Nervous? "Of course!" he says. "This is a story where the kids [are] now teenagers. Is the audience ready for an older Harry Potter? They bought the book - I just hope we present a Harry Potter they want to see." Couldn't have set the stakes better ourselves.
Work has begun on the fifth film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. British TV veteran David Yates will direct and screenwriter Michael Goldenberg follows Steven Kloves. Harry is still good to go. "My enthusiasm has absolutely not gone down," says Daniel Radcliffe, 15, who wouldn't rule out doing a non-Potter film before starting part 5
in January. "But it would be a mistake to want to show you can do stuff other than Harry Potter so badly that you just rush into something."
