| | Who's That Guy With Harry Potter?
Newsweek's December 18 issue contains a story about David Yates the current director of the Harry Potter movie number 5. WB, after using better known directors, chose a director relatively unknown to most of the world to guide the making of it's next Potter film. You'll find a few quotes below but to read the full story go to MSNBC's Newsweek Periscope. Quote:
After creating a $3.5 billion franchise with a string of high-profile filmmakers—Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón and Mike Newell—Warner Bros. hired David Yates to take the reins for "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which will be released next summer.
Quote:
"He's one of the most exciting directors coming out of this country at the moment," says longtime "Potter" producer David Heyman. Fair enough. But what's a guy who makes gritty, hyperreal socially conscious films doing in the "Harry Potter" universe? "Well," Heyman says, "this movie is bit of a revolution."
Quote:
In person, Yates, 43, seems like anything but a colorful individualist. He's so unassuming that it's hard to find him on set, even when he's only a few feet away. It's only in private conversation, when his knees start knifing up and down and his words start coming faster, that you sense the red blood pumping beneath that beige exterior. "I'm having the time of my life," he says. "It's like being at filmmaking gym. You're working every single muscle as a storyteller.
These films are full of comedy, adventure and a bit of thrills. It's terrific." Yates has pushed all the actors, in particular Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry, to deepen their performances this time around. "I've stretched Dan quite a bit. He's a very intuitive person, very bright, quite sensitive," he says. "I'm just helping him wake those things up. You can see his determination and ambition, and he can switch things on a sixpence, so I can't wait for people to see what he's achieving."
Yates does a lot of rehearsal before he shoots a scene, a rarity on major studio films. "It takes as long as it takes," he says. "The most important thing on screen is the actors. If the performance isn't real, that million-dollar special-effects shot behind the actor doesn't count for anything." And if he pulls off that piece of magic, his days of anonymity are numbered.

Why does he only talk about Dan?! I wish he'd talk about Rupert (and emma) too!
And it certainly won't hurt for him to talk about Matt Lewis, Tom Felton, and the twins too Quote:

Cuaron was still the best, and people can whine all they want but Columbus' vision is what they've all built up from and honestly his vision wasn't so bad ... he just has no style ... *crosses fingers* I'd love to see Hoffman direct though ... sorry Terry's such a baby but ... *shrugs* Tarantino would be cool ... he should try a kid flick I agree about Columbus and Terry (Gilliam) I like Cuaron but not so much because he played favorites *cough-emmawatson-cough* erm... who is Hoffman?? And I don't like Tarantino Quote: Hmm ... who else could direct ... who does good romance? *Sighs* Too bad Billy Wilder isn't around anymore ... Billy Wilder?! Actually, being the big "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" fan that I am, I'd really love it if Joss Whedon would take the director's seat
And Otts, you always got the best avvies and siggies... but only if Rupert is the subject of course (for me at least)

Hogwarts RPG Name: Elizabeth | Mrs. Tony Stark yay! What an awesome article! I think Yates was good decision. According to the article, it looks like he a pretty good director for HP5. The movie needed somebody that can tap into the emotional and adventure part of the story. I hope the movie is good and not some stupid hollywood movie!

He sounds pretty cool and I trust him.... Alfonso Cuaron directing the 6th movie is kind of scary though as he would definately take on a more sexual approach to the already sexual book

Wow Dan sounds like a really hard-working person ...and, aww...he's sensitive
anyways i think that was a really good article and it told us a lot more about David, stuff we didnt know before.
i think OotP just might be my fave Movie so far b/c if the trailers that good...
thanks for the info!
