Tim Burton's Harry Potter

[The Sum of Awe]

If Tim Burton were to direct/write a reboot of the Harry Potter series (film not books), would you see it? What would you think about it when you heard the news?

Also, what do you imagine what would be different?

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

No. His remakes suck. Plus, it would just be an excuse for him to give Helena Bonham Carter a job (although she was in the Harry Potter movies already, but that wouldn't stop him).

 

[StarryNightshade]

1.) I probably would see it, but not because I'm necessarily a fan of his. I would go just to see what it would be that would make all of the HP fanboys and girls cry.

2.) What would be different? Well, for one, he would cast Helena Bonham Cater as Hermione.

That would be the only redeeming element in the remake.

I don't care for her.

Probably Johnny Depp as Harry Potter too. Professor McGonagall would be portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp would play Hagrid. Voldemort, Ron and Dumbledore would all be Johnny Depp with a bonus appearance from Johnny Depp as Snape. Luna Lovegood Would be played by Helena Bonham Carter as would Narcissa Malfoy. I should imagine Johnny Depp would have a role in the film as well.

- Danny Elfman would, of course, write the score.
- Paul Reubens plays Dobby.
- Sasha Baron Cohen plays Voldemort.
- Michael Keaton plays Dumbledore in the style of Beetlejuice.
- Alan Rickman still plays Snape. Who else could?
- Dianne Wiest plays Molly Weasley.
- Timothy Spall plays Wormtail. (Like Carter, he's already a Burton guy.)

Daughter & I have been wondering how soon they'll reboot Harry Potter.
I'm guessing 20 years or so. It'll take longer than something like Spiderman,
which has a simpler story line & mythology, & fewer main characters.

Hedwig would have to be some type of weird mechanical device.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

- Alan Rickman still plays Snape. Who else could?

 

[The Sum of Awe]

Hmm, I like the idea of Johnny Depp as Snape and Helena Carter as Hermione.

A younger Carter would be a great Hermoine.
Have you seen her in A Room With A View?

More Harry Potter fun....

I'd see it.
The only difference I'm sure of is that Danny Elfman
would compose the score. It would be very different
from Williams', & at least as wonderful.

Trent Reznor is already to scary for the part
