Quote of the Week: Director Guillermo del Toro Harry Potter film rejection regret
 
http://www.snitchseeker.com/gallery/images/qotw5.gif


Guillermo del Toro was one of the many renowned directors asked years ago to take on the Harry Potter movies once Chris Columbus moved on after finishing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

However, as he wasn't much of a fan of the light-hearted take of the first two movies, del Toro at the time turned down the offer to director Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

During a directorial masterclass at this year's Annecy Festival, del Toro admitted that while he has been deliberate in all the projects he chooses to helm in his prestigious career, he said there was one decision he regretted making to this day: turning down the directing job for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The gig, of course, went to future Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuaron.

Quote:

Guillermo del Toro: “I remember you said that you don't lie awake sleepless about movies that you didn't end up doing... the only one is Harry Potter, and then, I lay there and go 'oh f--k.'"
The director said years ago that after having seen Cuaron's darker version of Prisoner of Azkaban, he would have been thrilled to have been asked again, though unfortunately was not (as Mike Newell and David Yates finished the series).
