Do you realize “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is only a month away?
I am so excited, my tingly parts have tingly parts!!
In an attempt to build this anticipation to an even more feverish pitch, the movie producers just released “Harry Potter” character artwork to local theaters. Ginormous banners will soon be adorning the walls and hallways of your local movie house…and they are frickin brilliant.
If you didn’t already know how dark and foreboding the final installments are gonna be, the artwork certainly tells the tale. Take a look.
I think they really capture the personalities of the characters. You can even sense Snape’s duality (maybe I just looked at it a bit too long.) Hermoine seems seriously pissed, though… this last book must really take a toll.
Which character banner is your favorite? Cast your vote in The Sticky Egg’s very first fan poll. And meet me in the theater November 19th at midnight for the opening of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”
Not again
Making movies cost the big bucks, it’s true.
So perhaps we shouldn’t judge producers too harshly when they remake blockbusters from years past to ensure box office success…like The Great Gatsby or Footloose.
This may also explain ‘sequel-itis’…although quality seems to figure less in that equation.
Case in point: New Year’s Eve from director Garry Marshall.
(Sorry; it was that bad.)
I’m not surprised actors are drawn to the sequel; it’s the easiest money they’ll ever make. And Garry Marshall probably just used the Valentine’s Day shooting script and changed the California locations to New York City.
But why do it at all?
Critics skewered the first film, and audience reviews were only slightly warmer. And while Valentine’s Day did break $100 million at the box office, there were a lot of celebrity salaries to pay.
Well, after seeing the trailer, I think I’ve figured it out.
Garry has directed a train wreck of a film…and we all know how hard it is not to look at one of those.
Cha-ching!
