Sixth Sense film director M. Night Shyamalan, who, as we told you last week, regrets turning down the chance to direct Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, said in an interview yesterday that he’s eager to take the helm of the last HP film and already knows the type of feel he’d go for :

Quote:

I want to see a serious emotional conflict, like if Ron goes to the wrong side. Power has such a double-edged sword. I want the audience to feel that for a moment.

In reference to comments he made last week about the HP material needing to be "handed over, adoption papers and everything," Shyamalan explained to TLC:

Quote:

I would be the greatest protector of an author's stuff. Especially things that I respect, that I know there's inherently magic in it. I would be very wary of screwing it up, so I would be very careful ... There's no way that it would be missed by lack of effort or lack of care or lack of attention. I would be giving it every single iota ... I would cherish it.

This is good. His work is quite good. Plus I think it would good for him to do the last one!

alyssa_hilary · 07-18-2006, 07:27 PM

Cool, I hope he gets the chance to do the 7th.

Raider · 07-18-2006, 07:27 PM

Honestly... I hope he doesnt. I dont like his movies much although The Sixth Sense was very good.

I've never thought he was that great a director, in truth I don't think Hollywood has any good directors outside of early 80's Spielberg (not now Spielberg) and Peter Jackson. Popular? Maybe but Alfred Hitchcock is dead and I don't think most of the kiddies would know Billy Wilder or John Huston ...

But yeah, after that Ron comment ... I think he should soak his head and the WB should hire Peter Jackson to direct, then at least we'd be guaranteed a three hour movie

and he's dealt with elves before ...

No Mr. Shyamalan, your stuff's too weird and not really that interesting. Go do a remake.

EDIT: Why don't we get the director for Pirates of the Carribbean or Superman Returns, or even Charlie's Angels ... then we'd get action ...

Okay so Tarantino and the guy who directed Superman are good too ... but that's it for directors oh, and McG.

harry__dan · 07-18-2006, 07:28 PM

hmmm he sounds nice. Well we'll see if he would get the last HP moveeeeeeeee

Lily Potter · 07-18-2006, 07:30 PM

I don't know, he might make it more scary than it is. He tends to make scary movies.

I agree completly.

*gasp* Why didnt I think of him before *headesk* Hes my favorite director!
*rallies for Pete Jackson to direct HP*

Padie · 07-18-2006, 07:39 PM

Well, I liked his films and he does seem to really like to direct the HP films so I wouldn't mind

Si · 07-18-2006, 07:52 PM

Shymalan would be good for the darkness of book 7 but if there's some fight scenes in that book, I demand Tarantino direct. They could co-direct but I doubt that will happen. It would be good for him to do HP, but I'm not too sure of his other works. The Sixth Sense was good but I hated The Village. I don't know where I stand on this. I want co-directors lol

EDIT: Gore Verbinski would be a great director for HP. If he can do PotC, he can do HP. I want him haha

Sama · 07-18-2006, 07:54 PM

*hmmmm* that'd be interresting....

daniel_radcliffe_fan_4eva · 07-18-2006, 07:56 PM

he seems quite keen to direct it and as long as he wants to make the film at least 3 and a half hours long he has my vote.

GryffindorGirl13 · 07-18-2006, 08:00 PM

I think he would do a great job with the film.And I'm not suprised he's regretting not directing the first film either.

Blackened · 07-18-2006, 08:05 PM

Interesting, though I don't think that will happen. I do enjoy the way he talks about the possibility of directing a HP movie, however.

x*[.BooM.]*x · 07-18-2006, 08:06 PM

I think he would put a good edge to the movie if he were to direct it. And contrary to popular belief I thought The Village was pretty fricken gewd. And the Sixth Sense. I dunno, I think the movies lack a sinister feel, somethin edgy and heart stopping......he may well be the man to add that extra "oompff".
