Guest Guest Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Slated to come out for this year?s holiday season, Warner Brothers moved the ?Half-Blood Prince? to a summer release.http://thecelebritycafe.com/features/18929.html The Harry Potter trend really is dying... I've noticed how the books aren't really that popular on Amazon.com anymore, and now the movie date for the 6th book is being pushed back till next summer. It was going to be released on the weekend before Thanksgiving... which would've made it a big holiday movie, but now it's going to be released in the middle of summer. I'm definitely happy to see this trend go... finally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alimantado Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Until the next one. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, Hans Christian Andersen, Beatrix Potter, Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling etc., etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anon Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 Actually...I just read, just now, on Fox News, the real reason its being pushed back...because the Radcliffe dude is going to be in a sensational Broadway play in which he appears naked, and also has sex, on stage. They don't want the two to overlap so as not to mar the "virginal" image he plays on Harry Potter. So now you know the rest of the story. Enjoy while I go vomit. :gross: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I read that it had something to do with the writer's strike that happened a while back. I'm not sure why it only affected Harry Potter, though. I read that on IMDB.com, but I don't know how accurate it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. :frog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about a guy who has a sexual fascination with horses. :gross: :gross: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jchahl Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 There's supposed to be an actor's strike soon, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
