David Yates to Direct Half-Blood Prince
|
David Yates, the director of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, recently spoke with SciFi, stating that he has signed on to direct the sixth Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
"I am doing Half-Blood Prince, and I'm doing it because I love the world, I love the characters," the BAFTA-winning director said in an interview. "I think I have more business with this world and these characters."
"I've made a kind of tonal shift with the fifth film, which I want to continue and develop into the sixth film," Yates said. "And I can see the fifth story evolving into the sixth story in a really interesting way. So I'm on a journey with this material and this world, and I'm keen to complete it."
Please note that at this time Warner Bros has not confirmed this information. |
