Muuuaaahahaahaha!
One of my good friends was on the animation team for Happy Feet. He was specifically in charge of the motion capture on the main penguin. He is hoping to use his experience to get him onto this film (and it looks like a real possibility).
Harry Potter and the Unexpected Summer Premiere
Los Angeles (E! Online) - He may have passed his O.W.L. exams, but Harry Potter is being held back.
Despite the recent Internet premiere of a certain highly anticipated trailer, Warner Bros. has announced that it's bumping the release date of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to next summer.
The film, originally slated to unspool Nov. 21, won't be bewitching us until July 17, 2009.
Not that the shake-up should give Hogwarts fans any reason to worry that this latest installment in the billion-dollar franchise isn't up to snuff—studio heads say this is purely an economic decision, based on the fact that Potter No. 6 is so darn magical.
"Our reasons for shifting Half-Blood Prince to summer are twofold," Warner Bros. president Alan Horn said Thursday. "We know the summer season is an ideal window for a family tent pole release, as proven by the success of our last Harry Potter film, which is the second-highest grossing film in the franchise, behind only the first installment."
Horn also admitted that even He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named wasn't immune to the industry-wide discomfort wrought by the writers' strike.
"Like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers' strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films—changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of."
Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group president Jeff Robinov also made a fine point: There will now be less of a wait between the sixth and seventh (and eighth) Potter films.The studio is eyeing respective summer releases in 2010 and 2011 for the two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The sixth book (and film) in J.K. Rowling's hit series focuses mainly on Harry and Dumbledore's search for the remaining horcruxes where Lord Voldemort has stashed his soul.
As the recently released trailer shows, a lot of the action will take place in flashbacks, featuring Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, Ralph Fiennes' nephew, as a young Damien-channeling Tom Riddle, who, as we all know, grew up to be the baddest wizard on the block.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
What a bull*#@ move! Sorry kiddies, sorry folks...we're going to make you wait half a year just so we can make more money. Up yours, studio!

Better off silent
Give me a freaking break. Next summer has only 3 or 4 big movies, and none around the release of this one. Star Trek comes out in early May, Terminator 4 around Memorial Day and Transformers 2 at 4th of July.
Of course it's for more money. Why are you so upset?
Very underwhelmed by those movies.

Star Trek will be the balls. And I'm just a mild fan of ST..but I'm a big fan of JJ Abrams.

Looking forward to both Star Trek and Transformers.
I'm going to have a Harry Potter Marathon one of these days. I have only seen the first, and a part of the second.

I know I know I know. I upgraded all of them to Blurays. I'm waiting for my new subwoofer to come so I can shake my foundation of my new house.
I live with a family that loves HP, but everytime I mention watching it, everyone is like "blah."

that is because they have all seen them 15 times.
I saw each of them once. Not sure I care to sit through them again.
THAT, and he wants to start from the beginning (understandably), and they've seen that one about a jillion times.

So what's 16? Pfft.
I'll begin watching them within the next month or so. With the Olympics and we have also started How I Met Your Mother.... little time.
But the first one especially rocks!
