 Michael Moore Won't Be Directing Potter Six - another rumor is squashed Summary:
TLC confirms that he will NOT be directing the fifth Potter film, let alone the sixth one. Article: Michael Moore Won't Be Directing Potter Six
Various film websites are reporting that documentary writer/producer/director Michael Moore has been invited to direct the film version of book VI. This rumor is not to be believed, here are some of the reasons why.
For starters, the most obvious reason is that WB haven't even decided if they're going ahead with OotP yet, let alone Potter six, HBP. OotP going ahead depends on a multitude of things, including how well GoF does in the cinemas and whether the actors continue their contracts. Another important aspect is that HBP isn't even out yet as a book, so Kloves, or whoever will work on the script in the future wouldn't even have been able to script it yet. Kloves may also be leaving the franchise after GoF to work on his own projects, which also puts OotP's fate in some doubt, so how HBP can be considered as a film possibility in the near future at this point in time, is ludicrous. TLC have also pointed out some other interesting points, which prove this rumor to be untrue and completely made up for humorous reasons. Quote: It appears to us that this rumor got started when satirical news site the Spoof "reported" the "news" Chinese news site Xinhuanet.com apparently then picked up the story and reported it as fact, falsely. It has since spread to film and news sites too numerous to mention. When in fact, in the original spoof article (the first link in the quote) a warning was printed boldly before the actual text reading: The story as represented above is written as a satire or parody. It is fictitious.
So no-one really had reason to believe this or assume it for truth in the first instance.

So there may not be all 7 HP books translated onto screen. any screen writer would find it tough to make OOTP into a film!

Yep. There's been no confirmation for films beyond GoF as of yet, so to spread rumors about HBP is, as I said, ludicrous!

Wow, I did not realize that they may not continue with the rest of the series on the screen. That would totally dampen everyone's mood! I don't think that they would stop after GoF though, because these films have gotten so much sucess and attention so far, and I don't think that they should be worried that GoF would do poorly in the theaters. :flowersmile: Besides, why in the world would Micheal Moore direct HBP? He is a documentary filmmaker, not a big-budget filmmaker! :online2long:

I agree that it would be ludicrous in a way not to do all 7 films when 1 to 4 are projected on the big screen, I think it will be a case of having to make them all.
And I have never heard of this Michael Moore but he seems pretty well known..... I don't take much notice of Director's names, I just watch movies!  | |

Well I suppose this is good. Although Michael Moore is a brilliant film maker, I don't think he would want to do a Harry Potter movie.

I don't think they would pass up on producing such a popular movie. But then again, it all depends on the actors. Daniel Radcliffe will always be know as Harry Potter, so most likely he'll only be a childhood star and won't get any roles as an adult. So if he's smart, he won't pass on the movie.

I wasn't arguing that it wasn't going to happen, just stating a fact. Nothing has been set in stone for OotP yet.

I doubt Micheal Moore would even direct a HP movie... i mean, doesn't he just do documentarys. Besides, i hope they do not continue the series... i would hate to see the long books get really butchered.

Lol, that's funny. Michael Moore directing HP? I can't believe people would believe that! I loved Bowling for Columbine but I could never imagine HP as a documentary!
