So the Best Live Action Short Films for the Oscars? One of them stars Jorge Garcia (Our Time Is Up), another Sean Biggerstaff (Cashback). It's like fandom central.

I miss Oliver Wood. Damn, that boy's attractive.

ETA: Gary Oldman's role as Sirius Black may not be reprised in Order of the Phoenix?!?!?!
If that's true, I will NOT see Order of the Phoenix. No fucking way.

*sigh* Indeed he is.
Have you heard this, by the way? Grr.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

That's beyond just 'grr.' If that's true, I will NOT see Order of the Phoenix. That's it.

[kilted.livejournal.com]

Agreed. If they recast him I'll be really upset, but if they cut him all together... well, they just can't do that. For goodness sakes, half that book is centered around him or his house... Arg.

[rosamundeb.livejournal.com]

I can't believe that about Gary.

I wonder how we can see these short films!

No Gary??

[maubast.livejournal.com]

W.T.F.???

what the fuck?

Seriously, WE NEED SIRIUS. Have these people read the book? When does filming start up again?

1. I was rewatching the first HP movie yesterday, when it was on TV and I so thought the same thing about Oliver. *grabby hands* I want him.

2. OMGWTF!? How can they do that?

[sassygirl.livejournal.com]

wow, I really want to see Cashback!

[thehush.livejournal.com]

Um, but Sirius is one of the most important characters IN Phoenix. He's a catalyst, he's part of the plot. They'd be insane to cut him out! And not have Gary as Sirius? Only if they get Johnny Depp to play Sirius... but that's a whole other story... that has fic involved.

*shifty eyes*

[flamingo-killer.livejournal.com]

See, I always pictured Johnny Depp as Sirius, but I really doubt he'd take the role...

Now, if Viggo lost a lot of weight/muscle mass--I can picture that.

HOWEVER, I would still be pissed if Gary Oldman isn't in it, whether he is replaced or not. The continuity (or lack thereof...) would kill me.

IF THEY FUCK UP OOTP I WILL BE SO PISSED. IF G.O. ISN'T IN IT, I'M NOT SEEING IT

.

Sorry, it's just my favourite one and all. Communists. *flails around*

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

If they cut Sirius out of the movie, I'm definitely not seeing it in the theater. Or, at least, I'm not going to opening weekend of it. That would be absolutely retarded.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

LMFAO that was one of the funniest comments ever.

I'M SO NOT SEEING IT.

At the theatre.

Well, in the first weekend anyway.

...the fangirl in us just won't die, hmm?

Seriously, if there's no Sirius I'm boycotting this. I'll download a pirated copy off the internet and never pay a cent for it.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

The thought of not seeing a HP movie in the theater made me panic a little! lol I've seen them all in the theater, opening weekend. I'd need to see it just to know why I hate it, you know? And, being the dedicated fangirl that I am, I'd also have to buy it for my collection, hatred or not. Just like GOF.

But really? Without Sirius, where's the fucking plot? It's got so much to do with him, leaving him out is OUT OF THE QUESTION!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I know exactly how you feel. I just know I'm going to buy GoF on DVD even though I didn't even like it.

BAH I KNOW. He IS OotP. I fell in love with him in OotP. If he's not in the movie, then it's not OotP, it's badly made fanfiction.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

Heh, a lot of GOF was badly made fanfiction.

I never thought I'd say it, but maybe not having Steve Kloves write this one was a mistake. I mean, have these people read the books?

Wait a minute. Of course they haven't. They've only read the dollar signs that are attached.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

LOL so he was evil but at least he knew the books?

Maybe we're all panicking about nothing and they just haven't gotten around to including Gary yet?

...yeah, you're probably right. Money. Maybe they think that since PoA was the least commercially successful movie they need to move away from it. Which is BAD because it was by far the best movie.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

No, I think they're thinking about how much time they have for the film (to keep it at 2-1/2 hours) and how many characters and their story lines, and how maybe this or that can be cut. How much do you want to bet that the whole Trelawney/Firenze stuff is cut, as well as much of the Fred and George stuff? Arrgh. Just make the movie three hours and be FAITHFUL, fuckasses!

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Ugh, good point. I don't mind the Trelawney/Firenze stuff going, or most of the stuff at school - I've always thought the outside world was more interesting in OotP. No Fred & George would be sad. At least they're doing the flashback scene...but how can they NOT include the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PART of the ENTIRE BOOK? No death of Sirius would be extraordinarily, horrendously, hideously bad.

[truffle-shuffle.livejournal.com]

Well, how can they do the flashback scene and not acknowledge Sirius in the rest of the movie. I'm hoping it's just too soon right now and they haven't approached Gary Oldman. I can't imagine that JKR would allow it to be made without Sirius. She does still have say on what goes in and what doesn't.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's been confusing me too. Are they just recasting him? What would be the point in that? Gary Oldman was a PERFECT Sirius.

I've been looking forward to Sirius in this movie since Gary was cast in PoA :(

[phemie.livejournal.com]

No Gary?! Whaaaaat?! That. Is. Just. Wrong.

I miss Oliver Wood too... <3

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

oh I didn't know about Sean being in this short movie!
I miss him too ;(

Whaaaat? No Sirius???
No Sirius = no movie for me
They can't do this, come on, that's just a rumor, I mean, they alsready cast young James and Lily, why would they cut Present Sirius? when his house and his family and his life are so central in this book?
I wouldn't mind that much if he's recast though, as I thought he was too old to play Sirius.

[green-queen.livejournal.com]

I would mind very much. I thought Gary was a lovely Sirius. He fits in the age bracket that the films have created - he's too old to play canon!Sirius, but remember he has to have been at school with Alan Rickman playing Snape.

[hobbitofkobol.livejournal.com]

oh yeah that's right, for one minute I had forgotten about the other actors being the same age...
anyway it'd be stupid to recast Sirius now, I don't see the point, I like cast continuity in a movie series

[snuffkin.livejournal.com]

wtf? O.o I mean... they wouldn`t cut Sirius?

If that's true, I will NOT see Order of the Phoenix
Nor am I!
