So I was browsing Digg and I came across this article. Pretty cool article on how other people would make a spin on the Harry Potter films. There are a total of 8 people who voice there views on how they would do a Harry Potter movie.
Here are a few for you.
Zack Snyder (”300″): “The problem with Harry Potter is that you can’t do it different from the books. Do you want to see them having sex or shooting each other or fighting? Sure. My knee-jerk reaction is to just make everything an R-rated movie, and so I’m like, ‘They should be darker!’ you know? I do kind of feel they’re going in the right direction. They’ve been sort of growing the films with the characters. So the films are getting darker and intense as the kids have been getting older. I think that makes sense. And it’d be awesome [if Harry dies in the end].”
Tom Tykwer (”Perfume”): “What I like about the ‘Harry Potter’ series is, the older Harry gets, the more scary the movies are, and I think I would push for the scary parts more than what has been done. It’s getting there. I’m curious how far they’re daring to go there.”
Edward Zwick (”Blood Diamond”): “At the time of the first ‘Harry Potter,’ I think my first daughter was 8 or 9 and I was reading it to her. I certainly would have known what to do with that. That would have been fun. She would have been very happy had I done it, trust me. But now? I don’t know. I think it was wonderful when I saw Cuarón’s third episode of it. I think he reinvented it. He did a really great job. I’m not sure I’d want to be the fifth director, though.”
