Rotten Tomatoes recently spoke to John Hurt, who plays Ollivander in the first Harry Potter film, and will reprise his role in Deathly Hallows about the movie and about the film industry!
You’re returning to Harry Potter for the final films having appeared in the very first one, how has it been to come back? JH: I’ve filmed one, which actually is the last one, and now I’ve got the penultimate one to do which is in November, and that wraps it all up. It’s a big loss for Britain in terms of having a big studio movie here, but it’s not representative of our culture in terms of the films that we make. I am convinced that though Pinewood and Shepperton — the big studios — playing host to big movies is very important, our film business is in the independent world. Of that I’m convinced. Do you think the big franchise movies shooting in the UK give a false impression of the health of our industry? All these productions move in and hire local talent, but they aren’t British films. JH: No, they’re not British films. Even Harry Potter isn’t a British [franchise]. We gave it to Warners, we just sit and collect. That always infuriates me. I do think huge areas of the industry are being neglected and we’ve lost the ability for middle-budget films. When we did have a stronger industry — and not just a business — we did have room for middle-budget films. They’ve gone out of the window, as they’ve done in America as well, but a $20m picture would be wonderful to make every now and then. We could do a lot for that.
But it’s like any country, if you don’t have a lot of money to spend. And it’s interesting seeing how much money gets spent on Harry Potter. It’s quite absurd, really. I watch it and think it’s just the same as Hollywood. I look around and you’ve got three costumes there, none of which are likely to be worn, and they’re all replicas of each other. It’s a vacuous waste of money and it drives me insane.
A teaser trailer for the second Nanny McPhee film is now online! Emma Thompson plays Nanny McPhee and is also the one of the producers and writer of the movie. For that reason she was not able to return to film Deathly Hallows, which is a disappointment to all Potter fans as she was the PERFECT Trelawney. Other Potter stars are also in the film: Ralph Fiennes will be playing Lord Gray and Maggie Smith will play Mrs. Docherty, finally, Rhys Ifans is playing Uncle Phil.
There is a new article online stating that Rade Serbedzija will be filming his scenes for Deathly Hallows in November. Rade is going to be playing Gregorovitch the wand maker in the movie.
Back in July Jamie Campbell Bower attended the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party and he discussed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and non Potter related stuff. View it below.
