More with Alfonso Cuaron

In a continuation of the story we reported on earlier this week on Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron, SlashFilm has released more excerpts from the interview and thrown in some comments from Guillermo Del Toro, the director who recommended Cuaron for the job after he himself had turned it down. Cuaron admits he, too, almost turned it down.

Quote:

"I never read the books or seen the movies so I was kind of arrogant about it," Cuarón confessed. Del Toro scolded the director over the phone telling him to read the book and call him back. "I called him back and said Man, this is brilliant. And he said 'Yeah, and you have to do it."

Del Toro doesn’t regret his decision to turn down the film.

Quote:

I think he did a much better job that I would have ever done. Alfonso believes in youth much more than I do.

Cuaron also revealed that J.K. Rowling called him a few weeks ago about his new film, Children of Men.

Quote:

She really loved Children of Men. And we started talking and I said that it was a tough process doing the movie because of the brutality of what you're doing, of what we're picturing. And then she conveyed to me, 'yes, yes, it's been hard for me because when you do writing about hard stuff, you have to sleep with that.' But I don't go into details.

And how does Cuaron feel Rowling will end the final book?

Quote:

How do you create the ending of a saga which is not a downer if Harry dies? And this is the only thing I am certain, that whatever she does is going to have an amazing kind of spin at the end. Because she's aware of what Harry Potter is and means in terms of the collective consciousness of humanity. Whatever she will do, I don't think it's going to be careless.

I agree with Him, whatever JK does with the last book will most certainly have an amazing spin. Ooo...I can't wait.

And I hope Alfonso does another HP movie! That would be the best! Because he is brilliant at what he does. :loved:

The book will definitely have a spin at the end. That's the only thing I'm sure of..

Well, I think he's right. JK will make the final book amazing.

Don't kill Harry it would be so cliché. <_< *Harry/Ginny Babies would be the cutest thing ever* :lol:

^LoL Ottery...but it's true though! But nothing beats R/Hr[I hope it's twins!!!]:P

That was a cool interview! and PoA ~~was~~ is really great!

I hope the books incredible!

Nice little interview! I really cant wait until the 7th book comes out!

love the interview! i wouldn't mind if Alfonso came back, and i so cannot wait untill book 7 comes out, it's gonna be great no matter what JK does!

I really did like PoA but id prefer if David yates does the rest...but thats just me:shifty:
Im like seriously about to have an emotional breakdown because every where i go people are telling me that harry will definately die...but what about the trio?!:cry:...anyways Jo isnt that predictable is she?!?...well hopefully not!:no:

Okay now I'm sure that he will be doing eigther HBP or movie 7!
He's just so into the whole HP world!
He, in my opinion has been the best HP director so far :D

i like his work on PoA, and i really he would do one more HP movie.

word.

Wow;) , I beleive Alfonso Cuaron is an amazing director:bow: , I will like to see him direct another HP, I guess I will have to wait to see what happens.:chrleadr:

I truly agreed with him, whatever happens in the end of book 7 is going be Fantastic.!!!:flower:

Not Alfonso. No no no. Don't ruin anymore movies >_<

I do agree with him about how JKR will end the series. Whether Harry lives or dies, the ending will be like that for a reason.

i agree with him. I also think that J.K will end it with an amazing spin.

Cuaron is amazing! one of the things that is getting me so so nervous about the ending of book seven is the twist that is NO DUH coming!!

Cuaron's definitely right about saying how she'll not be careless with what she ultimately does in the end.

I hope all of these opinions are not forcing JKR into an ending which we all would not like to see.

:no: i hope Harry not dies...it think she will write something really extraordinary...

That's it!

I've had very much so enough of this guy! He frustrates me and he is a complete idiot. I do not like his directing skills at all. He made a train wreck of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and I'd much rather he kept his nose out of anymore Potter business. If he directed another HP movie, I can honestly say that I would not see it.

Here's a good hint at a director: M. Night Shamaylan. He'd be wonderful with HBP or Book 7 because he's good with the darker side and making things more appropriately creepy!

I love Alfonso Cuaron to the death. I enjoyed PoA. But I do think that M. Night Shamaylan would be a better choice. The 7th book is obviously going to be darker...I prefer: M. Night Shamaylan.
