We earlier
reported that Jean-Pierre Jeunet had been offered the job of directing 'Order of the Phoenix', the fifth Potter film in the series.
Le Parisien (a French Magazine) is now reporting that the director has decided to decline the offer made to him by Warner Brothers.
Quote:
When asked what future projects he had, he replied "Warner offered me Harry Potter five but I had to decide in two weeks. I've told them 'No, thanks'."
As final as this all sounds, there's still been no real solid confirmation from WB as to whether this is true or not.
