Comments:To:

Warner Brothers Movie Production Office.

It has come to our attention that your studio has asked screenwriter Steve Kloves to condense the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire into one two-and-a-half hour movie. As loyal fans of the books, we feel this is a mistake.

There are many important scenes in the fourth book that must not be sacrificed. These include the death of Frank Bryce, the Quidditch World Cup, the appearance of the Dark Mark, the introduction of the Unforgivable Curses, the selection of the Triwizard Tournament champions, Rita Skeeter and her antics, the First Task, the Yule Ball, the Second Task, the children's visit with Sirius at Hogsmeade, the Pensieve memories, the Third Task, Voldemort's return, the duel and Priori Incantatem, the revelation that Moody is Crouch Jr., and the final scene when the Order of the Phoenix is called back into action. For all of these vital scenes to remain intact, this calls for another solution.

If the studio insists on one movie, then please make it three-and-a-half to four hours long. This length would be acceptable to the majority of Harry's fans. Plus, longer movies have done well at the box office. Audiences have proven they will sit through an epic-length film, if it is done well. Titanic and the Lord of the Rings films are prime examples of this, and with the large fan base, Goblet of Fire would also do well.

However, in our opinion, the better option would be to break the film into two movies, as has been done with Matrix Reloaded and Matrix Revolutions. One appropriate breaking point would be at the end of the First Task. With two movies, each could run around two-and-a-half hours, which allows more showings per day at the theatres, and also allows a total running time of around five hours, which would be apt for this adaptation of the book.

We sincerely hope that Warner Brothers reexamines its stance on Goblet of Fire. There are millions of loyal Harry Potter fans worldwide, and the studio should feel the need to deliver us a quality product. We carry a lot of financial clout, and if we feel this movie will cut apart our beloved story, then we're afraid the majority won't be in the theatres. This is not a threat, merely a concern. All we ask is that you reconsider.

Thank you for your time.


Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Comments:I have been in love with KB since I first saw him in "Dead Again" and "Much Ado..." I had a problem with "Hamlet" though, and I was wondering if anyone else did. I know this seems like a quibble, but didn't it bother you that he set it in the dead of winter? How on earth could Ophelia drown herself in a frozen pond? And where did the wild flowers come from? That has always bothered me, especially coming from someone who usually pays such attention to details. My "willing suspension of disbelief" just wouldn't kick in on this one...just too glaring an error. Anyway, I love the site and the photos, especially KB with long hair and a beard...yikes...he goes with Alan Rickman on the laminated list!!! Thanks a lot...I'll be back. Sincerely, BC

pics and stuff. I think Kenneth Branagh is like a Laurence
Olivier for the 90's, even though I disliked Branagh's
version of "Hamlet" (but he still did a good job portraying
Hamlet).

I'm a recent convert doing pilgrimage. Today I saw
Kenneth's 'Hamlet' for the first time and when it ended I
was on my knees having seen the light! You know that saying
that "all Art is nostalgia for Divinity"? First time my
limited reason could begin to grasp what it meant... Just
in case you think I'm here for my Sweet Prince's sake, I'm
going out today and renting 'Peter's Friends' and 'Mary
Shelley's Frankenstein'
Beautiful Site, BTW :-) Add on!

quite. As a matter of fact I regularly comb the web for

in my quality of proud member of the Kenneth Branagh
Appreciation Society (ok, so the real name is in
portuguese...) There's only about 40 of us so far which is
tragic. But we're spreading the good word and I'll make
sure any new convert will do pilgrimage to this site.

Comments:Thanks for the great site!!

I too am in awe of the dear man. His talent and his
charisma and his sheer stubborn determination to put
forward his ideas of how Shakespeare should be filmed are
inspiring. I have been a fan since 1984 when I actually
got to see him in Henry V at Stratford, long before he made
the movie version. He wowed me then, and he continues to
do so. Hamlet was a tour de force, and the best film of
that play ever done. The new Olivier, indeed!! (sniffs
haughtily) Much better than Olivier did with that role on
film.

I am hoping that all is going well for him and I am waiting
with baited breath to see the new Shakespeare films he's
doing.

I also can't wait to see what else you do with your site.
I'll be back!!
