Development for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Film

Among in the selection of the different films of today no doubt that the Harry Potter film stands out in the crowd. From the writer of the book that have the great imaginary power JK Rowling finally got to finished the last part of the book. The film is produced by Rowling along with David Heyman and David Barron. The upcoming film entitled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released on November 19, 2010 the first part only while the second part will be on July 2011; 6 months after the first released. This is could be final installation of the harry Potter film series, with the story following Harry Potter on a quest to find and destroy Lord Voldemort’s secret to immortality – the Horcruxes. The film’s stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as Harry’s best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger will try to stop Lord Voldemort Evil plans by locating and locating the Horcruxes.

The Development of the Film: The conclusion to divide Rowling’s final book into a two-part movie came from the original declined proposal to split Goblet of Fire in 2004. Deathly Hallows was shot back to back, and treated as if it were one film. The idea to split the book into a two-part movie had been around since the middle of 2007, but only came into serious consideration after producer David Heyman was able to talk to writer Steve Kloves when the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike ended and Heyman had Rowling’s approval. Kloves started his work on the script for the second part in April 2009.

According to Warner Bros. executive Alan F. Horn it will allow “an extra hour and a half to celebrate what this franchise has been and do justice to all the words and ideas in the amazing story.” Heyman described the workings behind the split: “Deathly Hallows is so rich, the story so dense and there is so much that is resolved that, after discussing it with J. K. Rowling, we came to the conclusion that two parts were needed.” Kloves was not able to start work on the script until the WGA strike ended.

Before David Yates was officially chosen to direct the film, others had expressed an interest in the job. Alfonso Cuaron, director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, had said that he would be allured to return to direct.Guillermo del Toro, who passed on Prisoner of Azkaban, had expressed interest in directing Deathly Hallows, but an raised work load over the production of The Hobbit ruled him out of the project.

Rowling was named producer on the two-part film, alongside David Heyman and David Barron.Heyman noted that the films will be a closer recreation of the books than the previous films because of the length a two-part adaptation entails. Daniel Radcliffe said: “This is a road movie, particularly in Part One of the film. People have been so used to seeing Harry Potter at Hogwarts and we’re just not there for the first part of the film. That seems to have really freshened things up, and hopefully will get people seeing the films with fresh eyes again, because it’s just a totally different look when you’re not just sat in the same room the whole time.”
Yates and Heyman have noted that some of the events of the seventh book had an effect on the way the sixth film was written.

The world debut for Deathly Hallows: Part 1 will be held in London’s Leicester Square on 11 November 2010. The U.S. premiere for Deathly Hallows: Part 1 will be held in New York City on 15 November. The first parts will first public appearance in cinemas worldwide on 19 November 2010, while the second part will be announced worldwide on 15 July 2011.
