As previously reported, Gary Oldman's agent feels that it is unlikely his client will be reprising his role as Sirius Black in the 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'. Douglas Urbanski, of Douglas Management Group, has once again gone on record regarding Mr. Oldman's likelihood of returning. He states that a deadline has been put in place for early next week.

Quote:

He said that the desire on Warner Brother's part has been low since the beginning, even though the money Oldman wants to reprise his role is little. He added that it is unfair for Oldman to wait, as other films have assumed he is apart of the next Potter film, and, like the rest of us, he needs work for the summer.

I don't think his agent should be dishing ultimatums. I also don't think this whole thing should've been made quite so public. It's verging on unprofessional, imo, because, as I'm sure the agent knows and knew before hand, this is rallying fans up. I think it's just a matter of Gary not being needed yet and the casting office wanting to sort things out "as needed". After all, both Oldman and Heyman have said they want to him to be back.

all of this publicity and drama stuff is getting confusing, not to mention boring. i hope gary will come back. he was a great sirius....i cant imagine someone else playing sirius in the upcoming movie.

They just have to work out a way to get him to reprise the role! Yes, he is going to die and this would be his last film, but Sirius won't be Sirius without him! I am still getting used to Michael Gambon and we have had him as Dumbledore for two movies now! I really hope that WB does everything they can to get him signed!

I agree, Emma. Obviously it is so not an issue for the WB because they're not the ones making statements all the time. They made one statement to say where they stood on the matter, and haven't fired back since. However, Gary's management has repeatedly kept at this and is upsetting fans, sometimes to the point of not caring if Gary returns or not! Quite frankly, a small part of me wants the WB to stick it to the Gary and his management and hire someone else. Unfortunately they have the WB over a barrel, so to speak, because they know he's only needed for one film (I'm sure in hindsight, I bet the WB wishes that Gary never knew!) and he has a dramatic and important death scene.

Personally I wish the fans would rally together and tell Gary's management off. Tell them we're willing to accept a replace me so shut up and/or put out.

danismine · 03-21-2006, 01:46 AM

awww

i really hope he comes back. i hate when the cast changes coz once u c one person u get used to tht person and like him/her. for example, i miss the old dumbledore. i mean yes he died so can't do anything abt tht. but he was exactly like i wud imagine dumbledore to be. he was humble lookin unlike the new dumbledore.
but really, gary shud came back, after all, this will b his last appearence.

Dan is sammi's man! · 03-21-2006, 02:36 AM

I really hope he comes back! he was awsome in the POA!

whyamithewerewolf · 03-21-2006, 02:41 AM

It seems to me that Warner Brothers are the ones holding this up. What is this? Some kind of publicity stunt or something? Keep us on the edge of our seats chewing our fingernails down to the bone and then sign him on the day of the deadline? It's not right and it's not fair. Someone needs to make a move!!

Ellen4Potter · 03-21-2006, 02:47 AM

valera · 03-21-2006, 03:49 AM

argg.. all these talks are making me extremely annoyed and confused.

StaceyLynn · 03-21-2006, 03:57 AM

There is definately a lot of confusion coming out of the whole situation. Just to think...for so long now we've all been worried about the 3 main kids not being able to finish out the series. Little did we know that one of the adults may be the first to go. =\

Audra Laudarque · 03-21-2006, 04:22 AM

I love Gary Oldman. Lets hope he comes back for the next movie!

James_Potter · 03-21-2006, 04:35 AM

jtarosky · 03-21-2006, 05:10 AM

I hope he comes back, but if he doesn't, the show must go on. And I certainly will still be going to the midnight viewing the day oop comes out with or without gary.

Eve_of_gryffindor · 03-21-2006, 05:28 AM

faith123 · 03-21-2006, 05:53 AM

i want him back!!!

vecuronium · 03-21-2006, 05:54 AM

I understand money problems, truly I do. But I don't see that being a big issue here, regardless what the media reports. I believe it stated that he's not even asking for much, so I'm kind of thinking this is a sick publicity stunt, or WB just isn't ready to commit. Then again, Gary could have something that is stopping him as well. I guess we just have to wait and see, unfortunately.

It will be traumatic if we have to switch actors for Sirius but as someone else said, "the show must go on".
