Oldman to Get "Sirius" Once Again for Potter 5
Dark Horizons shares some scoopage from HPANA (a serious Harry Potter fansite) and it's something that'll no doubt please the hardcore Harryheads: Gary Oldman has signed to reprise his role of Sirius Black in the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix." (Apparently there was some controversy regarding Oldman's return, but the deal seems to be signed and sealed.)
"Gary Oldman's manager Douglas Urbanski has confirmed that the actor is now set to reprise his role as Sirius Black in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", a deal having been concluded this morning.
The news ends months-long confusion and speculation about the role as Warners has remained surprisingly quiet on the whole issue of Oldman returning to the role despite very vocal and public commentary from fans to Oldman's manager himself."

on Mar 23 2006 12:14 PM Oldman seems kind of like a slippery guy to get a hold of. I remember hearing he was cast to voice General Grievous for "Revenge of the Sith" I was so psyched, but then declined because of some Actor's Guild restriction or something. Pretty big disappointment. Lucky Potter fans. (Reply to this) |
on Mar 23 2006 03:25 PM Well, I am glad he is reprising his role of course, and it's good to knwo that also because of the end of the Book. Each movie seems to be getting better, and ever since I heard Mike Newell waas to helm the 4th installment (fan of Donnie Brasco) I was exstatic. But now an unkown director is helming this new Harry Potter and I am quite sketchy... I think I NEED to see his other movies, if he has any. I'd really liek to know how they came up with Yates.

on Mar 24 2006 02:12 PM I don't think the 5th movie will be as good as the 4th but neither was the book. Still I shall look forward to it and I'm very happy that the fantastic Gary Oldman is back. (Reply to this) |
