Jason Isaacs eager to be in Movie 7
The Lucius Malfoy actor today made an appearance on Richard & Judy. Isaacs talks about some of his current acting projects, and a little about Potter:
"I'm waiting to see if I'll be in the seventh book with baited breath. I go to prison all the way through [Book] 6, so number 7, obviously I'm desperate to find out if I get out. I actually met JK Rowling at an awards ceremony and I went over and said 'I'm begging you' [and she laughed]."
A short video clip of this can be seen here.

yay! I love Jason Isaacs!
Yay second time posting for this great site and I'm in the top ten. I'm off to see the interview.
Woot!! He's pretty much one of my favorites.
Excellent, now there's something I can sink my teeth into. Those Equus photos make me feel like a pervert...
im exciteddd
Yay, so there should be at least ONE good actor in the seventh movie! ;) Hopefully Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane, and Alan Rickman return, as well.
Jason Isaacs is the best actor they could've ever chosen for Lucius Malfoy! I have no idea what to criticize, so I'm glad he wants in for movie 7.
Yeah i never thought theyd be able to get the malfoys right for some reason...well done lol! yeah i agree about the Equus thing *laughs*
Hope he does show up in the seventh movie! (Top 10?)
yay i love jason isaacs.
i hope he is too!!
I really hope that JKR writes Lucius Malfoy in book seven because I think he makes things interesting. And!!! I love Jason Isaacs and would love to see more of him in the films.
wow lucius is cute lol i hope he is in the 6th book
Hope he makes it into the seventh movie. He's terrific as Lucius Mafoy!
I love him and i hate him... hes a coool character but hes mean..... but oh well... i guess i'm hoping that he will be in the 7th book... toodles!
I don't see how he could not be in the 7th book. There is going to be an all out war. An epic good against evil. I think that all the main characters will show their faces. But who knows with an adaptation, if he will be in the 7th movie.
I hope he is in the 7th film - he's a good actor and portrays Lucius Malfoy with the exact attitude and posture as i had imagined him from the books. I agree with joshholly - it's probably going to be an all out war, and so Lucius will probably break out and become involved some how
OH I love Jason Isaacs! But I definitely think he'll be in the final book/movie; Malfoy has to die, right?
Okay, I know I'm the only grammar fascist out here, but it should be " 'bated breath" rather than "baited breath." That's short for "abated," and not some kind of indication that his breath smells like fish-bait.
Jason Isaacs is by far one of my favorite actors, and I really hope he gets to be in the final movie.
Jason Isaacs is probably the best actor that could have played Lucius.. i hope he does come back.. even if its only for like 5 min!!!!! and mary_v you are right.. malfoy does have to die
i really dont know. I like Isaacs, but the only way i could see him with a part is to have a mass breakout from Askaban, which I dont want!
It's great to hear the actors are as excited about the book and its characters as we are! Regardless of paycheck ;P No one could portary Lucius better! He's AWESOME! He really makes me want to HATE him! I think he will be in book 7, and that he will die, but I think Draco will live, he (Draco) couldn't kill Dumbledore... and he knows love, for his family - he has some good in him, I think JK will really make his character grow even more in this final book!
Didn't we already get a news report once before in which Isaacs said this? He just keeps repeating himself then? If I'm not incorrect, this really isn't informative. It's just redundant. Sorry. Otherwise, I really like knowing the characters like Harry Potter too.
Yay! i lurrve him! glad hes luking 4ward 2 it aswell!!! i find the villains way more intrestin than the goodies!....especially if the baddy is hot!! *evil giggle*
Responding to what dudley said about the Pictures I had to sit down becasue WOW !!! amo a alguien como el. Nadien mas podria hacer el papel del papa de Draco. Hope he returns for the seventh book.
yes! something harry potter related that doesnt make me feel like a freaking pervert....anyways, i agree with jason, lucious better appear in the 7th book....i actually think he will as it is the 7th book and at this point everything is possible....
wow, i could not watch that entire talk show if my life depended on it. what an annoying laugh, how could that man have become famous?
I hope we see him too. He is deliciously wicked!
BOOK 7!
i hope he does stay, i really do think he's wonderful as evil Lucius
I hate Judy from Richard and Judy.
I love him SO much! He is such a good actor!
While all the girls are drolling over Dan, here I am drolling over that video clip of Jason. He is so yummy and funny to boot!!!
He plays his part so well.... but I don't think begging will help much... She just needs to do the story how she has been planning to do it, he shouldn't expect her to change it just for him.
how about some equus photos of jason isaacs? :D he's great :)
cool hope hes in the 7th book. i also hope he gets some information about whether or not he gets out, because then we'll all know atleast something else that happens in the 7th book.
Well, I don't see any reasons why he -wouldn't be in DH. He's one of the most re-occuring villians in the series. It wouldn't be fair if he didn't get his share. And, hey! It would make the book longer, too!!
...... you want to be in book seven, WE GET IT.
Ha, thats so cool, i absolutely love jason isaacs. hes so into the roles, its just awesome. there is no one who could possibley play mr malfoy better than him.
What a sad desperate strange little man....lol
Hehe, that's funny. And he is a good actor, so I hope so, too. It is nice to see that some of the actors are Potter-Fans, as well.
SuperShinyFace, you're not the only grammar nazi in here. It's "BATED breath"--not "baited." Indeed--were his breath "baited," it would likely smell fairly undesirable.
He's a really good Lucius. I honestly couldn't imagine many other actors doing any better.
MMmmm...Luscious Lucius...I'm surprised how normal he seems in "real life" because almost all the characters he plays are so eeevil...teehee
Jason, my darling, I love you, but.....LUCIUS MUST DIE!!!!!! Ha Ha! But, siriusly, I believe Lucius will be in book seven. Jo has to put him in it so she can kill him off. Looking forward to it!
Heh heh . . . I think JKR will have to include Lucius Malfoy somehow in Deathly Hollows (finally we don't have to call it "book seven" anymore!) as it's the last book and she has to wrap up all her loose ends.
Anyone think JKR will tell us the release date tomorrow (1/31/07) because its her half birthday and harry's as well?
HPDH2007: No. It's way too soon. I personally don't think the book will come out until summer 2008 no matter how much I want it to come now. It takes a long time to publish a book, after all.
wooh Jason Isaacs rocks my socks! he's a great Lucius! I'm pretty sure he has nothing to worry about, Lucius needs to have his story tied up he cant just stay stuck in Azkaban forever!
