Let's not? Cursed Child was dreadful.

I could see a lot of changes being made anyway.

 

[Merc_]

Trilogy? lmao that desperation.

 

[Anung]

Nothing was learnt from The Hobbit Trilogy.

Here's the non-paraphrased version of what the Raddest of Cliffs said

"It is a tricky one. You never want to close a door on anything, especially something that has been so good to me."

"At the moment I am definitely not at a stage where I would feel comfortable going back to it," Radcliffe added. "Who knows in ten and 20 years if I would feel differently about that? I think I have still got a little while for me to be age appropriate for this."

I'd only be okay with this if they heavily - and I mean HEAVILY - edit and rewrite the abysmal story we got.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Between the royalties and the money he got per film on Harry Potter he's made for life.

But on top of that he's got all this other stuff going on so he's beyond fine.

There's a simple solution to that state of affairs: cocaine.

 

[Sanjuro]

You're part time, Harry.

 

[DrForester]

Problem is that the only way to fix it is to totally abandon the entire plot of the story and ditch the villain.

 

[Effect]

I'm sure he can be persuaded.

This. Man has all the control right now. He'll be set for life if he plays this right and then he can take any role no matter how big or small he wants and not worry about money at all.

 

[psaman17]

If they get Radcliffe, they HAVE to cast Emma Watson too right? Right?

trilogy?

three films devoted to my immortal redux?

how dare you say that about ebony raven darkness dementia diggory!

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Add Harry dong stuff as an Auror. Tracking down clues about The Cursed Child etc Fight a dark wizard etc. Wrap it all into the main plot of the book.

Maybe it would help with his assholeishness

 

[strafer]

They can make a Terminator prequel with you know which character.

It's a goldmine!!

I see now.

 

[mugwhump]

Noooooo

Trilogy?I'm smelling the Hobbit levels of bullshit. Just make one movie WB though I'm sure Rubert Grint would like the paycheck.

At least the hobbit had good source material. This has...

Does anyone have an in depth review of this? I feel like I need to read/watch something about it.

 

[BY2K]

Oh fuck off, they want to make a TRILOGY out of this!?

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

The only possible reason why I would ever want to see a movie of this is to see the Trolley Witch's true form. Other than that, this is awful and I'm glad Radcliffe sounds like he is sweeping this aside.

Right, it's 17+ years later. Would be funny to get them back and compare them to how they aged them for the epilogue scene in Deathly Hallows Part 2.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I'm really clueless as to how Rowling came up with the story for this crap when her other recent work on Pottermore is much better.

Edit: Even if she didn't come up with all the details, I dunno why she gave the OK for them.

 

[PROh1bited]

The only way this would work is if they got the trio back, and the story got a massive rewrite.

I agree. I'm a "huge" Harry Potter fan and I quit reading cursed child about 50 pages in.

 

[Lijik]

I felt like aspects of Cursed Child would have worked better as a third entry in a series. It was so hard to care about Albus since they jump right into angsty teen

Cover his first two years at Hogwarts and rework CC and id be down

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Can WB please stop stretching things into bloated awful trilogies which don't have nearly enough content for 3 movies

Exhibit A: The Hobbit

 

[FyreWulff]

This is gonna be expensive. He's going to get them to write Emma and Redhair McThatguy into it to get them a payday too. As friends do.

 

[Mononoaware]

As someone who liked all the Harry Potter novels...this thread made me just go to wikipedia to read the summary for the play....

Holy shit, that is fucking awful sounding. Every part of it sounds like a god damn piece of shit. I don't need a film trilogy of this.

 

[xfactor99]

Bathroom thought: Cursed Child is the Dream Drop Distance of the Harry Potter series

 

[Lord Morairty007]

Why can't they just focus on Fantastic Beasts instead. Just stop trying to bring the original cast back.

 

[BronsonLee]

This is likely set up for after Fantastic Beasts is done with.

[George Oscar Bluth II]

How are they gonna persuade Rupert Grint to come out of his ice cream van?

Edit: Is Fantastic B(r)easts supposed to be a trilogy or is it just a spinoff trilogy with B(r)easts just being one of the three films? A one-off, if you will.

 

[FTF]

Nothing was learnt from The Hobbit Trilogy.

WB learned it could make $3b ww at the box office by stretching that nonsense out over three movies. They'll do the same for this if they can.

 

[Basketball]

If he likes money

 

[Figboy79]

I'd rather see Warner invest in a Harry Potter TV series.

Have each season be 8-10 episodes, and cover a single book. There's a lot of content in the books that never made it to the film's (which I do love), that I think it could be awesome flesh it all out in television. Release it on a premium channel or a subscription service like Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon, and give it a healthy budget of a few million per episode (like 1-5 million for the simpler episodes, and 5-10 million for the epic season finale style episodes. Try to keep each season around or under $100 million).

The DCCU isn't going to be the moneymaker they want it to be, but Potter fans haven't had any bridges burned yet.

Beasts 2 was dated, so I guess trilogy?

 

[Lord Morairty007]

They left the franchise at the right time and in good condition. Fantastic Beasts is almost a century later and takes place in a different place.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Ah. That's disappointing.

"Look, the beasts have escaped again! Catch them all, Doctor Who Mr. Scamander!"

 

[Sulik2]

2020 doesn't exactly seem soon and isn't this play supposed to be beyond stupid?

 

[kswiston]

I doubt it would actually be 2020. Fantastic Beasts 3 is tentatively releasing that year, and WB isn't going to have two potterverse films out in the same year.

 

[Hot Coldman]

really don't get the Doctor Who comparisons with the FB&W2FT protagonist

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

My friend (who is a Doctor Who fan) went to a test screening of Fantastic Beasts and said Newt Scamander reminds him of The Doctor a lot.

I probably should've clarified earlier

 

[Arkeband]

I watched The Women in Black and I never realized how uninteresting an actor could be until i saw Daniel Radcliffe try to act.

On the other hand, he almost made Horns watchable.
