Author Lois Lowry has updated
her blog, where she states that production for the film adaptation of her book,
The Giver, was to begin with David Yates as director. However, Ms. Lowry explains that David can not partake in the project yet because he has signed up to direct the final
Harry Potter film(s),
Deathly Hallows:
Quote:
David Yates, the director currently working on the next Harry Potter film, was supposed to begin The Giver film next. But he has just decided he wants to do the final Harry Potter first, thereby postponing The Giver by several years.
This would be the third
Harry Potter film David Yates would direct, after
Order of the Phoenix and
Half-Blood Prince.
We await confirmation from Warner Bros. about the news.
