Clint Eastwood returns as his iconic Dirty harry character in an hybrid mixed with JK ROWLING's fantasy series. When informed of the news,Ms Rowling's clutched her chest and was rushed to hospital. WB executives took that as a tactic yes to the project. The first film is HARRY POTTER & THE .357 MAGNUM PHILOSOPHER STONE .

Right now WB execs are wiping their eyes with left over Green Lantern merchandise ,wondering how they will replace this franchise and BATMAN after next summer ?

Uh...no. If they spent $450 million, they'd have to take in $900 million to turn a profit.

Posts: 5874 Dec 1 11 9:20 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Just as well to have a Harry Potter thread here, since the last of the movies have been released now. There are quite a few Harry Potter fans here, but we've been covering Harry Potter under the "Now Playing" section, one movie at a time as they've been announced and released. Dunno about te rest of you, but although I think the final movie is excellent, I'm not thrilled with the choices I had to make about the DVD. They've released too damn many versions and the only way to get all the extras is in the 4-disk BluRay set (the one I bought, at the best discount I could find, while grumbling...). I've seen a rumor that the individual movies will no longer be available as individual DVD releases after the end of December. Anyone know whether that's true? http://www.scoreexchange.com/profiles/Lelia_Loban To hear the audio, click on the "Scorch Plug-In" box above the score.

Apparently WB is going the Disney route and withdrawing the films with plans of re-releasing them periodically like BAMBI and CINDERELLA and so forth. Which is a tad ludicrous (even for Disney) given you'll always be able to pick them up at rental store. The Mysterious Mr. Long

Posts: 5874 Dec 4 11 8:50 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Ludicrous and also a big invitation to pirates, although I guess they don't need much of an invitation anyway. But I think a lot of fans out there share my preference for buying a legitimate DVD, rather than renting or downloading, and I think studios can profit by appealing to that audience. http://www.scoreexchange.com/profiles/Lelia_Loban To hear the audio, click on the "Scorch Plug-In" box above the score.

But I think most of the existing audience has been picking these up as they were released. I have no idea if the HP fan base will renew itself the way the audience has for BAMBI, for instance & frankly neither does WB. I can only surmise - based on the dwindling crowds lining up for the last two books - that interest already started dwindling once it was obvious Rowling was definitely ending the series.

Posts: 5874 Dec 31 11 10:56 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Above, I expressed disgruntlement with the release of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, Part II, in multiple DVD versions. However, I have to admit that the 4-disk BluRay set is excellent. The "maximum movie mode" (a highly-prepared set of audio-visual mini-commentaries by a lot of different people, not a spontaneous yap-track) is one of the most informative, interesting extras I've ever seen. Integrating behind-the-scenes footage and deleted scenes with the movie while it's running works very well. Btw, I was surprised at how many practical sets this movie used. I'd assumed more of it was CGI than is actually the case. http://www.scoreexchange.com/profiles/Lelia_Loban To hear the audio, click on the "Scorch Plug-In" box above the score.
