Rhys Ifans looks very happy in those shots - what has he been up to I wonder? Great choice for Xenophilius though.

He just loves taking his undies off.

Warner Bros. will release the next two "Harry Potter" films in 3D, a move underscoring the post-"Avatar" rush for extra-dimensional boxoffice.

 

Studio executives on lots around town have been scrutinizing film slates for opportunities to expand forays into 3D releasing. Warners has been testing footage from its upcoming "Clash of the Titans" -- converted into 3D by an outside vendor -- and the tests have gone so well that execs have decided to release not only "Titans" but also the two-part "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in 3D.

 

Warners refused to confirm the decisions Tuesday, but an announcement on "Titans" -- a co-production with Legendary Pictures -- is expected by week's end. Official word on the "Potter" pics also is awaited.

 

Conversion expenses have been coming down, so each film will cost just $5 million to change into 3D. Warners also will absorb an additional $5 million expense per pic to pay for 3D glasses for exhibitors handling the movies.

 

In a related move, Warners will push back the release of "Titans" one week to April 2. "Deathly Hallows: Part I" is set to unspool Nov. 19, and "Part II" is slotted for July 15, 2011.

 

The only previous "Potter" pic to dabble in 3D was last year's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," which included brief footage viewable in 3D in Imax venues. It was unclear whether "Potter" author J.K. Rowling had to OK the move into the third dimension.

 

As for the impact on boxoffice prospects for the final two "Potter" sequels, consider the more imminent situation with "Titans."

 

A remake of a 1981 film starring Laurence Olivier, "Titans" previously might have been expected to fetch no more than $200 million domestically, and even that was an aggressive projection. Released in 3D, Warners figures to reap well north of $200 million, with 2007's $211 million domestic grosser "300" considered a beatable benchmark.

 

"Titans" in 3D also is considered a safe bet to best the $245 million in foreign coin that Warners fetched with "300."

 

The "Titans" move is not without risk. The installed base of 3D movie screens has been growing rapidly, but it's not sufficient to release the film entirely in 3D.

 

That should be less of a concern by the time the next "Potter" hits multiplexes. But execs also are quietly confident of getting enough 3D playdates for "Titans."

 

"I would not think it would be an issue to establish ourselves in the 3D marketplace with 'Titans,' " a studio insider said. "By sliding it back a week, we should at least have enough screens in the major markets."

 

Warners should secure upward of 1,000 playdates for "Titans," which will unspool a week after Paramount bows DreamWorks Animation's spring tentpole "How to Train Your Dragon."

 

The "Titans" move might spur further reshuffling in the spring release calendar, as its new date makes for a fifth wide opener set for Easter weekend, which historically is a solid boxoffice session but hardly one to support that many big pics.

 

Other wide openers set for April 2 include Fox's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid," a likely PG-rated film adapted from a book series popular with middle-schoolers; Disney's PG-rated Miley Cyrus starrer "The Last Song," adapted from a Nicholas Sparks novel; Universal's futuristic action thriller "Repo Men," starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker; and Lionsgate's latest Tyler Perry pic, "Why Did I Get Married Too?"

 

Meantime, the move of "Potter" into the extra dimension could prompt other high-profile moves. Could a 3D James Bond loom?

 

Warners' decision with its "Potter" franchise is likely at least to prompt 3D discussions between MGM and 007 producers. But unlike Warners' incremental move with the "Potter" franchise -- going with full-on 3D only after an initial foray into partial Imax 3D -- Lion execs would be starting at square one in talks on Bond.

 

Still, there is the siren call of those extra-dimensional dollars -- and other 3D currencies. In addition to lusting after "Avatar"-like boxoffice, industry execs have taken note of how well 3D pics play overseas.

 

Warners 3D horror pic "The Final Destination" overperformed internationally this summer, and Sony's 2D "Zombieland" did less than one-fourth as well overseas as domestically a few months later.

 

Perhaps by no coincidence, Sony might send "Spider-Man" into the third dimension with the webslinger's next pic.

 

LOL

Ashamed to admit that I'm getting excited for this. In fact, reading through this thread has made me want to read the books again.... but I promised myself that when I re-read them all just over a year ago that it would be the last time I ever read them! Had some weak moments though.

I watch anything with Helena Bonham Carter in it :kink: but the fact that it's a Harry Potter movie just makes everything infinitely better! :kink:

I can't wait for these! I'm re-reading the books now & I'm half way through Order of the Phoenix atm :cheer:

Warner Bros' The Big Picture presentation at ShoWest 2010 ended with some of the first footage ever shown for David Yates' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, showing clips presumably from both parts of the final chapter. This isn't a fully detailed recap, just what we could remember and having not yet read the book, this writer didn't have a lot of context for what he was watching on screen but it still looked pretty fantastic.

 

The footage opened with Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort in a clearing followed closely by his Death Eaters. Being unfinished footage, Fiennes still had dots on his face and there were placement dots for later FX, but soon, they meet up with Harry Potter and Voldemort snarls, "Harry Potter... Come to die."

 

That sets up the footage which makes it clear that the last two movies are going to be about the final showdown between the two long-time nemeses, and much of what we saw involved Voldemort plotting with his Death Eaters how he was going to capture Harry Potter and how he wants to be the one to kill him when they do.

 

The Ministry of Magic is clearly falling apart and they seem to be after our heroes as well, but as someone who hasn't read the book, it wasn't clear whether the Ministry were working with Voldemort to catch Harry or whether they had their own agenda. One scene shows multiple Harry Potters, and we see a bit of Bill Nighy as Rufus Scrimgeour, looking very fierce, as well as quite a lot of Helena Bonham Carter's Bellatrix Lestrange acting suitably crazy as she interacts with the kids after they've been captured and are being brought to the Death Eaters safe house.

 

There was some footage of the trio running through the Forbidden Forest being chased by something, a quick anamatic of the giants smashing up some building (Hogwarts?) with their clubs, and footage of the kids being chased by a dragon. Another unfinished scene showed Hagrid on a flying motorbike that was rocketing through the side alongside what looked like Hermione and other Hogwarts denizens on broomsticks, as well as others riding Thestrals (those flying horses), seemingly being chased by a flying Voldemort or another Death Eater. With all of this happening, the friendship is also having trouble withstanding all of the strain, and in one scene, we see Harry and Ron really going at it, even more than we've seen them arguing in the past.

 

The footage ended with what might be the final confrontation with Voldemort as he asks Harry, "Why do you still live?" to which he gets the response, "Because I have something to live for."

 

We'll see how much of this footage ends up in the trailer for Part 1 which we expect to be held until sometime in the summer, but even with the amount of unfinished footage shown, it looks absolutely spectacular. Davids Heyman and Yates are clearly creating an unforgettable finale as promised and the two movies look like they'll have a lot more action and excitement than "Half-Blood Prince," which is feeling more and more like an intermediary film in the series. One probably shouldn't expect too much humor this time from what we saw either, because it looks like the last two chapters might be even more dark and serious than anything that they've done in previous installments.

 

The first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows opens on November 19, followed by Part 2 on July 15, 2011.

:wub: I'm simultaneously excited and sad for these to come.

 

Seeming them in 3D will be awesome but once they're over, there really be nothing more to look forward to. The loss at the end of book 7 was almost numbed by the fact that there was still films to come.

 

I need to re-read this world.

Sounds really good ;D

I'm really looking forward to the Malfoy Manor scenes. Helena Bonham Carter & Emma Watson together :wub:

The film may be delayed, apparently some of the sets were damaged in a fire accident, not sure what the extent of the damage is, I read it this morning in the paper.
