Summary:
The Sun is reporting that David Thewlis does such a convincing job morphing in to a werewolf that WB film bosses feared it might be too scary for younger cinema-goers. Thewlis' girlfriend Anna Friel confided, "The directors thought it might be too scary — but kept it."

Article:

DAVID THEWLIS plays such a scary werewolf in the next Harry Potter film that he was nearly axed as bosses feared he would terrify young cinema-goers.
His character, professor Remus Lupin, spooks Harry and his fellow wizardry pupils when he changes into a monster at the full moon.

His stare and make-up get more intense and he goes into weird spasms. Then a stunt man takes over the part of the nine-foot werewolf, striding around inside a giant costume.

David, who dates ANNA FRIEL, said of his chilling part in The Prisoner of Azkaban: “The directors thought it might be too scary — but kept it.”

The Sun, news

: How could they think about getting rid of ihim it would ruin it for people who read the book. This is my favourite of the lot.
I really want to see Hermoine hit Malfoy in this one, like it says in the book.

Sweet, werewolf action!

darn you kids, it's just a movie... bahh, thinking of cutting out such a cool part.

They should put the rating up again. :whisle:
Go Lupin. ^^

I agree I think even if it is scary.... it will make it WAY better if they leave it in and people will like it better! I'm glad they decided to keep it!

stargal62 · 10-20-2003, 06:28 PM

:sorcerer: Well its pretty cool that it will be scary but not good for the little kids who love harry potter.

loony_luna_lovegood · 10-20-2003, 07:15 PM

Im gladf they didnt cut it it would ruin it. if its scary then it'll be even betta i mean a werewolf is hardly gonna be friendly is it? :sorcerer:

sunstar · 10-20-2003, 07:34 PM

GanymedeCraft17 · 10-20-2003, 09:39 PM

[B][FONT=Arial][SIZE=1][SIZE=7][COLOR=purple]Hey... I bet in the kids imaginations it would be just as scary... :ermsmile:

EmmaRiddle · 10-20-2003, 09:43 PM

kids shouldnt be watching it anyway if they get scared its the parents fault for taking them without seeing it first themsleves

dobby1989 · 10-20-2003, 09:47 PM

the 3rd book is like the starting point for all the darkness.
it wouldnt suprise me that lil kids would be scared.

EmmaRiddle · 10-20-2003, 09:48 PM

second thoughts, the suns a tabloid.....they tend to exaggerate

nsyncrockerchic · 10-20-2003, 09:50 PM

I agree, it is the parents fault.

EmmaRiddle · 10-20-2003, 09:53 PM

i dont think it should be freely viewable to under 12's anyways, it should be a PG12

dobby1989 · 10-20-2003, 09:55 PM

Gah! Kids' have seen much worse stuff than that, you know. Besides, I'm 12, so I still qualify for a kid, right? But I don't get paranoid over werewolves or even that gross(?) stuff half american movies are made of! No offence, but really... HP's not for nervous 4-year-olds! They shouldn't even read the books if they're scared! Hmph! >

EmmaRiddle · 10-20-2003, 10:02 PM

kids, here is meant as 10 year olds and below

ididnt know that. i can get into an R movie(which you have to be 18) without a parent. there not so strict here.

I know my friends little brother who is 7 saw the chamber of secrets one and was scared forever cuz of the spider scene.
