| | |  Mira Nair still considering directing Order of the Phoenix film
For a few weeks now we've been hearing conflicting rumors about Mira Nair's involvement in talks with WB about filming the fifth Harry Potter film. The Strait Times now has an interview with her where, once again, the subject of directing a Potter film, has arisen. Quote:
Letting her heart guide her decisions has also meant taking the road less travelled. She has been offered the job of directing the fifth instalment of the wildly successful Harry Potter series.
But while some would jump at the chance to direct a blockbuster, she is wary.
'I'm weighing it and wondering,' she says. 'For me, it's really what moves me to make this movie. Do I really want to devote two years of my life to Harry Potter?'
As if she realises she might sound too portentous, she cracks a self-deprecating joke that nonetheless carries a sting of truth: 'It's quite an obsessive act making a film.'

I wish that she would hurry up and make up her mind. This news is starting to really annoy me now. But whats the point of finding a director if they have no script yet. They should definatly get a new script writer this time, please. I'm sick of Hermione stealing Rons lines. Also maybe Mira Nair would take it if there was a different one because I believe that she would maybe want to direct from a different script rather than his. I wouldnt blame her if that is it. | |

It really doesn't matter if she does it or not, but that if she does it she can handle it.... | |

I thought the producers had denied ever offering her the job a few weeks back? It's hard to keep track of rumors, I only hope that whoever eventually decides to direct does a good job. | |

I want Alfonso to film it. It would be interesting if she got it, but I hope not.
To me she doesn't seem very interested. I want someone who really wants it. Some one who loves Harry Potter and the whole maical world.

| Exactly. Why take a director who's heart is not into HP? I want someone who could gain the confidence of tha fans.  ...make sure that we won't be disappointed *cough* Cuaron *cough*...lol

I'd like to see Alfonso direct again too. He did a great job with PoA, and I really like his style. I'd hate for GoF to have a completely different feel to it...
Then again, I'm sure I'll love the film regardless of who directs it! ; ) | |

| agreed, if they loved HP as well theyd direct it to show it the way fans would want to see it and it'd be awesome! | |

I definitely has to have someone who wants to do it and is passionate abotu the movies and someone who can keep up to the standards Afonso has now set! And I guess Mike Newel will do too.
She's very reluctant about it. I really don't know about her doign it. But if she says yes, I'm hoping she can handle it!!
Besides I think Afonso should take up teh job! I lovvved POA!!!! | |
