In a new interview Nick Moran, who plays Scabior in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows discussed his role in the film.

How did you enjoy filming Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows? One leading bookmaker is offering just 2/9 that it will go down in history as the most successful Harry Potter movie ever.

Well I loved it and Harry is great, he’s in fine form. I’m looking forward to that and as far as red carpet events go that is going to be mad and it will be the biggest premiere in the world. I’ve seen all my bits although as you are probably aware some of them were watered down a little but because they were too gory. Some of the scenes became very real and when you leave my character in the woods with a load of kids what am I going to do? I’m going to do whatever I want!

It was all a bit of a shock and they pruned down my torture scenes where I beat up Rupert, call him ginger and stamp on him. It’s going to be great, there is loads going on and then there is the second film which is going to be absolutely spectacular!

Thanks SS!

Today, Emma Watson has been confirmed as having a role in My Week With Marilyn by way of this press release.  Harry Potter star Kenneth Branagh (Lockhart) is also in the film as Sir Laurence Olivier.  Zoe Wanamaker (Madam Hooch), Toby Jones (Dobby) and Geraldine Somerville (Lily Potter) are also in the film.

Trademark Films and The Weinstein Company have announced that principal photography has started on My Week with Marilyn for seven weeks at Pinewood Studios and on location in and around London. Michelle Williams plays the iconic Marilyn Monroe alongside a fantastic British cast including Eddie Redmayne, Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Dominic Cooper, Emma Watson and Julia Ormond.

The film chronicles a week in the life of Marilyn Monroe in which she escapes the shackles of her Hollywood career and embraces British life with Colin Clark. Directed by Simon Curtis and produced by David Parfitt, the film is based on Colin Clark’s diaries and has been adapted for the screen by Adrian Hodges.

I have just received the following Press Release from WB:

October 8, 2010

For Immediate Release

Statement from Warner Bros. regarding “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1:”

Warner Bros Pictures has made the decision to release “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1” in 2D, in both conventional and IMAX theaters, as we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window. Despite everyone’s best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality. We do not want to disappoint fans who have long-anticipated the conclusion of this extraordinary journey, and to that end, we are releasing our film day-and-date on November 19, 2010 as planned. We, in alignment with our filmmakers, believe this is the best course to take in order to ensure that our audiences enjoy the consummate “Harry Potter” experience.

Producer David Heyman said, “For 10 years, we have worked alongside Alan Horn and the studio, whose priority has always been to preserve the integrity of Jo Rowling’s books as we have adapted them to the screen, and this decision reflects that commitment.”

Director David Yates continued, “This decision, which we completely support, underscores the fact that Warner Bros. has always put quality first.”

As scheduled, on July 15, 2011, we will deliver to conventional and IMAX theaters our final installment of the film franchise, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2,” in both 2D and 3D formats.

In a new interview with The Daily Mail Daniel Radcliffe discusses his role in the film ‘The Woman in Black’, Harry Potter and more.

‘It’s my first grown-up role,’ the actor told me, noting that he was barely 17 when he made the televison film My Boy Jack.  ‘This is the first time I’ve played older than myself  –  I’m supposed to be 24 in this. And,’ he added, pausing for effect: ‘I’ve got a son.’ Then he laughed, and explained that he does indeed have a young son, but only on screen. Daniel’s child in the film is played by Misha Handley, who in real life is his godson. Misha’s the son of Thea Sharrock, who directed Daniel in his stage debut, Equus. ‘It’s very hard to fake the relationship that me and Misha have. There had to be a sense that we were close.’

He has starred in all of the Harry Potter movies, from Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone ten years ago to the final two-part Deathly Hallows – the first instalment of which is released on November 19. ‘It’s over now,’ Daniel said, wistfully. ‘I was much more emotional than I anticipated on the last day. ‘I won’t pretend that I’m not nervous about moving on. And I will have to work hard to stay busy, and try to separate myself from that character. So, I am slightly trepidatious. But whatever cannot be avoided, must be accepted.

‘The Woman In Black is very different from Harry Potter. But it’s different enough without me having to go all extreme and play a drug- dealing rent boy, or something where people go: “Oh, OK, he’s trying to shock us now.” I was simply after a good role.’ He said he read Jane Goldman’s screenplay during a flight from London to Los Angeles. (The film version, by the way, is quite different from the play of the same name, which has been running for 21 years at the Fortune Theatre.) ‘It’s scary on the page – absolutely terrifying! – and I must have freaked them out on the plane because I was pretty jumpy. By the time I landed, I knew I had to do it.’ The director, James Watkins, flew out to join the actor in LA and both agreed that The Woman In Black had to be more than just a ghost story. ‘It’s also about loss: the loss of a wife and the loss of children.’
