Confirmed: Deathly Hallows to be a Two-Part Film, Yates to Direct Both Halves
(Via The Leaky Cauldron)
It’s official. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be two movies, not just one. Producer David Heyman says that it is for “purely creative reasons,” not just to make some more dollar signs off Harry Potter, like a lot of skeptics claim (skeptics who are probably not Harry Potter fans, I’d bet…). David Yates will direct both halves of the film, becoming the longest-running HP director.
Some other points of interest:
- The two movies will be titled “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II”
- Steven Kloves will screenwrite
- JKR is okay with the decision
- The first half of the move will be released “holiday” 2010, the second part following in late spring to early summer 2011.
