W.B. Bros (Pott)er Of Gold

For those fans of the multi-million dollar Harry Potter movies of which I am one, the star of the movie series, Daniel Radcliffe will be appearing on the Bravo Channel hit show “Inside The Actors Studio” on Monday night Dec 1st. This may be a studio maneuver to calm fans of the books and movies, who were told that the latest movie was pushed back till summer. This very unpopular decision by the W.B. Studios caused fans to send letters to said studio proclaiming their disapproval or another words telling the heads of the studio how pissed off they really were at the announcement. From what I understand, the recent Writers strike caused huge delays in the filming of Christmas and summer released movies and the studio decided to hold back release of the sixth Harry Potter film “The Half Blood Prince”. The huge smash “The Dark Knight” seems to have prompted the move and gave the studio at least one hit for the summer movie season. The move also allowed the latest, young lit vampire novel turned movie “Twilight” to slide into the now vacant spot and take a bite (pardon the vampire pun) out of the Christmas movie box office, pulling in a hefty 70 million dollars in its first weekend. While I do not agree with the Studio on their choice to move the film and dissapoint fans world wide. I do understand the need to bank on a sure thing for summer. I only hope it doesn’t come back to bite (another pun) them later.
