Deathly Hallows movie split gains momentum
Deathly Hallows movie split gains momentum The Daily Telegraph has a new article today focusing on the continuing rumors of the final Potter film being split into two parts. When these rumors started one month ago, all we heard from WB was a big "no decision has been made." Today, we hear from the film's producers:

From David Barron: "We are still discussing it. The announcement will be made hopefully in the not-too-distant future, with regards to the way seven shapes up," Barron tells The Back Room.

The only negative of splitting the book into two films, says Barron, "is that people could possibly perceive it as being one last chance at cashing in. But the real positive, if we were to do that, would be that we wouldn't have quite the battle we always have of 'How do you compress all that book into just over two hours of screen time?'


From David Heyman: "A couple of people have expressed interest, people have gotten a few calls and a few emails, but it's still a year away," Heyman says.

"We won't start filming 'til February next year. So it hasn't really gone bananas yet. We've got thoughts, and I'm sure something will be announced in the not-too-distant future."


We'll continue to update you on this story as we hear more. Thanks to everyone who e-mailed with the tip!

I definitly think they should make it "Titatnic" style. Where there's two parts to the movie, nothing is lost from it and it flows. There's way too much important stuff in the seventh book and if someone is really a devoted fan of the series, it shouldn't matter how long it is. I don't care if it's 5 hours long...I'm going to watch it, beginning to end...

I hope that they don't split the movie...that would suck.

Do the book justice, hell, do the series justice with The Ultimate final script and have 2 films. So many loose ends to tie up, a HUGE battle, and....really focus on the emotional archs. Oh yeh, and get a director who actually CARES about the story.
