The rest of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 posters

Harry and Hermoine both got their own posters for the next and final Harry Potter film.  Now check out the remaining posters for the film.  They feature Ron Weasly (Rupert Grint) as well as other primary characters like Neville (Matthew Lewis), Malfoy (Tom Felton), Snape (Alan Rickman) and of course, the evil wizard Voldemort played by Ralph Fiennes.  Check them out below and let's all count down to the final chapter of an incredible movie franchise!

Hermoine poster for The Deathly Hallows Part 2

Yesterday the Harry poster for the next and final film in the franchise was released.  Today, Hermione (Emma Watson) gets her own poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.   I don't need to say it everyday, but I'm going to anyway... I can't wait!  I am sold.  I'm sold on the magic, the wonder, the friendships, the evil, the search for one horcrux after another, all of it!  I love the movies and will be there opening weekend to see the final battle for Hogwarts.

Harry Potter is ready to rumble in 'The Deathly Hallows Part 2' poster

Thanks to Cinemablend because this poster is pretty cool.  I like how Warner Brothers doesn't even bother with the title of the film, it's very effective in my opinion.  The world knows Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 this is the final film in the unbelievably successful franchise.  Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is ready to battle and there's obviously a lot going on behind him.  Great job to the marketing department.  Less is more in this case.  I will be in line for opening weekend my friends.

Tim Burton will not direct Maleficent, a Harry Potter director might though

Tim Burton was set to direct a live-action spin off of Disney's Sleeping Beauty titled, Maleficent.  That was announced back in January of 2010.  Here we are a year and a half later and it appears that Burton is dropping out, stated The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie would have been told through the evil witch's perspective.  Angelina Jolie has long been rumored to star in the film.

Not to fear, it appears as though a very capable director may replace Burton.  How about David Yates for ya?  THR says the man who directed four of eight Harry Potter films may take over the reigns.  I am a huge fan of the Harry Potter films, more specifically the three Yates films that have been released.  He also directed the next and final film, set to be released in July of this year.

This doesn't mean Burton will be leaving Disney, as if they'd let him leave after a billion dollar success that was Alice in Wonderland.  No, he's already started working on a stop-motion adaptation of Frankenweenie, due out next year.  That's all for now, I'll post any updates as they come up.

Funny People wins the box office

This week goes to Adam Sandler's Funny People, directed by the always successful Judd Apatow. The movie scored 23.4 million dollars. Not a complete surprise that the movie finished first, but the dollar amount is. It's actually Adam Sandler's worst opening in nearly four years.

The surprise of the week was "Harry Potter" holding strong, it came in second place with 17.7 million dollars. That was a good sign after last weeks surprise hit G-Force knocked it off the top spot. G-Force placed third with 17.1 million dollars.

The only other new release this week was Aliens in the Attic, placing fifth place with 7.8 million dollars. I'd like to make one point. Transformers 2: Revenge of the Suck is at tenth place which hopefully means next week it will be off the top ten. ;) Here's the rest of the top ten:

1. "Funny People," $23.4 million.

2. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," $17.7 million.

3. "G-Force," $17.1 million.

4. "The Ugly Truth," $13 million.

5. "Aliens in the Attic," $7.8 million.

6. "Orphan," $7.3 million.

7. "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaur," $5.3 million.

8. "The Hangover," $5.1 million.

9. "The Proposal," $4.8 million.

10. "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," $4.6 million.

Prince of Persia footage!!!

Everyone remember the video game Prince of Persia? Well it was pretty ground breaking at the time, with it's gravity defying movies and flash forward action. The game is being adapted into a big budget movie by none other than Jerry Bruckheimer. The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal (who got freakin' ripped for this movie) and is directed by Mike Newell, who directed one of the Harry Potter movies and DONNIE BRASCO! Check out the short clip.
