In a new interview in the Melbourne
Herald Sun, David Heyman, producer of the Potter films, talks about the Yule Ball and the Weird Sisters. Rupert Grint also confirms that he wants to stay on for OotP, the fifth film.
The producer described the music of the band as "rock'n'roll with an 80's feel and a little bit of weirdness."
Singer Jarvis Cocker and Radio Head guitarist Jonny Greenwood and drummer Phil Selway will be part of the Weird Sisters group, playing at the Yule Ball.
The Great Hall of Hogwarts is described as having been "transformed into a shimmering silver wonderland, with a stage made of ice."
Quote:
"David Heyman says he first approached Cocker, who had written four songs for the film. 'Jarvis is a great lyricist who imbuded the songs with wit and completely got the tone we were after.' he said. In the film you'll see the Weird Sisters play regular instruments that are a little bit strange, like bagpipes with really long pipes and guitars with three necks. And because there's no electricity at Hogwarts, the sound system has to be powered by steam, so you see these bursts of steam coming out of the speakers."
In addition to 'Goblet of Fire', David Heyman talked about the likelihood that the three lead child actors will return for the fifth film,
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Quote:
David Heyman is quoted as saying he was "quietly confident" that the trio may be back again for the fifth Potter film "and maybe beyond".
Rupert confirmed that he wants to do the fifth film which mostly likely means that he will sign on for the project when the time comes.
Quote:
"There's no reason, really, why we couldn't go on. I don't know about the others, but I want to go on."
Here are some more quotes from the article;
Quote:
"The band looked really cool and it was great that they got real rock'n'roll people," Rupert Grint said.
Quote:
"My Christmas present from the stunt team was a log book of all the dives I'd done - 41 hours," Daniel said.
The article also states that by the time GoF is in cinemas, in November, production will have already begun for the fifth film, OotP.
It also loosely confirms what we already knew before, that Rupert Grint has in fact finished school.
