And while I’d love to drop some big casting news or announcements about “Prince of Persia,” the only stuff we really talked about was why he took the project. It's kind of hard to get deep into something when you only have 4 minutes to talk.
So after he told me this info I did a follow up on the film adaptation of Harry Potter 7. Since they are currently shooting movie 6, and they haven’t yet announced who would direct the last installment, I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask the man who directed one of the better films in the franchise (“Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”) if he had been offered the gig. He said he hasn’t yet been contacted about the movie.
Anyway, here’s the video interview with Mike,and “Love in the Time of Cholera” opens this Friday. Look for some movie clips later today.
Mike Newell
- I ask if he ever thought he’d be in this position after attending Cambridge University in England.
- After doing Harry Potter how did he come to this project and why did he pick it.
- I ask what attracted him to Prince of Persia
