| | |  Yates wants to blow up Millennium bridge for HBP
In a new interview with The Guardian David Yates, director of Order of the Phoenix & Half-Blood Prince, talks about quidditch and sex and the possibility of blowing up a bridge for the sixth film. Quote:
Yates is already imagining how to adapt The Half-Blood Prince. "We start shooting in eight to 10 weeks. In the book, bridges blow up. I want to take down the Millennium bridge." What, don't you like Norman Foster's iconic bridge? "I love it. I just love the idea of destroying it."
Quote:
I leave Yates in purgatory. Damn, I forgot to ask him the big question. Why no quidditch, damn you? "Two words," I can imagine him saying, in his gently mocking Merseyside accent. "Bor. Ring. How many quidditch games do you need to see at the pictures? No offence, mate." It would have been a good answer.

The bridge blowing up is a very tiny little piece of the book... but I'm not complaining, I suppose. Means they are paying attention to detail.
I guess... O_O

 Well, maybe he'll get his chance to digitally blow up a bridge, but...like others pointed out...it's mentioned, not actually done in the book, so...
I find it encouraging, though, that he is determined to do the teenage romance/growing up justice in the film, even if he keeps describing it as "sex, drugs, and rock n roll!"

I didn't read the whole interview but like the comment above me the bridge is a very small part and quidditch is a HUGE part in this book with him making Captian and everything. Choose Quidditch ditch the bridge if you have to choose.

I really like David Yates so far. Of course, I haven't seen his work on the movie yet in full. But he seems to be a visionary, and I like that he enjoys what he's doing so much | |
