Article:
This is an old article that I found while surfing looking for a quote by Spielberg on doing Harry Potter (way back when - before movie one was made):
Quote:
| When Spielberg dropped out of this project, Warner Bros. started a "casting pool" process where directors could pitch their ideas for the film. Besides Columbus, the helmers in talks for the job at various points were: Terry Gilliam, Jonathan Demme, Mike Newell, Alan Parker, Wolfgang Petersen, Rob Reiner, Tim Robbins, Brad Silberling, and Peter Weir. |
Personally, I'd love to see Terry Gilliam do one!
Yahoo! Movies UPDATE
And
this article shows some of the same names:
Quote:
| Among the would-be Potter helmers: Brad Silberling (City of Angels), Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs), Chris Columbus (Bicentennial Man), Mike Newell (Pushing Tin), Rob Reiner (The Story of Us) and Tim Robbins (Cradle Will Rock). |
