Harry Potter
Amidst
speculations about who is going to direct the fifth Harry Potter movie
Warner Bros. have confirmed that British TV actor David Yates will
take charge of the new movie. According to Zap2it.com, Yates will most
likely begin shooting Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
in late 2005/early 2006 from Michael Goldenberg's script. Phoenix centers
on the boy wizard as he enters his fifth year at Hogwarts and the
highs and lows of adolescence. As he struggles with puberty, doubts
and fears, he must also contend with frighteningly prescient dreams,
ridicule and a tyrannical headmistress. "Not only does [David]
have tremendous passion for the world of Harry Potter, but he is a
great director with a keen visual sense who fills every frame with
humanity and compassion for his characters," producer David
Heyman, was quoted as saying. — ANI
