Harry Potter films' producers David Heyman and David Barron were interviewed by Australia's
The Daily Telegraph, where they talk about the fact that decisions are being made over whether or not the seventh book,
Deathly Hallows, will be made into two films:
Quote:
"We are still discussing it. The announcement will be made hopefully in the not-too-distant future, with regards to the way seven shapes up," Barron tells The Back Room.
The only negative of splitting the book into two films, says Barron, "is that people could possibly perceive it as being one last chance at cashing in. But the real positive, if we were to do that, would be that we wouldn't have quite the battle we always have of 'How do you compress all that book into just over two hours of screen time?'
"It would be brilliant not to have to cut anything.
"But at the same time, we have to think it through properly. We'd have to be very certain that there were two proper, stand-alone films that could be generated from the source material."
David Heyman states that a few directors have been considered to direct the
Deathly Hallows film(s) and that as shooting will not commence until February 2009 (a year from now), nothing has been finalised at the present moment.
