Emma Watson & crew talk series changes and split of Deathly Hallows films
New interviews with Emma Watson, director David Yates, producer David Heyman, and screenwriter Steve Kloves, conducted on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows have been featured in the March 2010 issue of Total Film magazine, which is out now.
Yates spoke about both parts, and how different they are from one another (Part I being a road trip, while Part II is all battles): Quote:
"Part 1 is dynamic, adrenalised, visceral and takes place on the road," director David Yates told Total Film last year. "It's a refugee story about three kids cut off from everything they know and everybody they love, being pursued relentlessly by people who want to murder them."
| Quote:
"How do you make them one but two separate and distinct stories?' ponders Yates. "Do you break it with a moment of suspense or one of resolution?"
| Quote:
According to Yates, Part 2 will be a different beast again: "A big opera, a great big epic, with huge battles."
| Emma explained how different it was to shoot a Harry Potter film without Hogwarts: Quote:
"I feel like I'm on a different film," Watson confirms. "The others have this structure. You know, we come into the Great Hall and there's the opening talk. And that's gone."
| Kloves teased briefly on the split: Quote:
"Ultimately everyone felt that, despite the challenges it would present, the split was the most sound creative decision," explains veteran screenwriter Steve Kloves. "It should allow us to stretch a bit with the characters and give them the proper send-off."
