Harry Potter And The 8th Film With Spielberg Directing?

Harry Potter

Some huge rumors have come out from the United Kingdom, Mailonsunday.co.uk.  Thought to be the last Harry Potter film, The Deathly Hallows, or the 7th film in the franchise, may get spilt up.  Apparently they want to end off the film franchise with a bang by using as much content from the seventh book to make 2 complete films.

Harry Potter fans are set to get a double treat in the film of the final story – and movie makers are set to double their money.

Crew working on the sixth Potter film, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, have been told J.K. Rowling's seventh novel, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, will be released in two halves.

In the same article, a radical rumor is also out, but I honestly don't believe it.  Steven Spielberg is wanted by Warner Bros to handle the final film.

At Warner Bros, who are rumoured to be thinking of Oscars and a big-name director such as Steven Spielberg for the final film, a spokesman said:

"People are discussing all possibilities."

Splitting up the seventh book into two films is simply genius by Warner Bros.  I'm sorry, as much as I hate WB for the Justice League, which is in limbo, this is seriously a smart move.  The first reason is just a simple fact, that by making two films, they have four hours or more to work in as much information and content from the 776 page final book, Deathly Hallows.  This all means that they can do the film right, and present us with a kick ass fight between Harry and Voldemort.  Also the second reason, is more money for Warners, because, we all know that these films make a serious amount of cash.  It should be obvious that more films will make even more cash.

Next is the Steven Spielberg rumors.  I'll just be quick.  I don't believe that rumor for all.  Sure, just like the rest of us, Warner Bros, wants Spielberg to direct... and I'm talking about ever scifi/fantasy or whatever is avaible to us.  So thats probably someone shooting off there mouth, just wishing for the world best director to direct Harry Potter.  So I don't believe it.

JUST REMEMBER!!!  Take all of this as simple rumor and bullshit until someone comes out with the truth.

    I think it’s plausible that the studio would try and split the last film into two parts. It isn’t because the last book merits it, rather, the studio can make more money from 8 films instead of 7.
