IMAX Delay for Half-Blood Prince
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Technology, Upcoming Releases
Warner Bros. may be sticking firm to its third Half-Blood Prince release date, but that won’t prevent delays for the film.
Due to a conflict with a previously scheduled blockbuster, most IMAX theaters (aside from one in New York in one in LA) will not be able to show Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince until July 29. That equates to a two-week delay from the July 15 premiere.
What will be occupying those theaters up until that point? Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The Paramount feature has a month-long commitment starting with its June 26 debut.

Getting Into Character: Cast of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Upcoming Releases

Now that we’re only two months away until Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens, it’s time to start looking ahead.
In just 18 months from now, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I will unfold. The picture above with Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Helena Bonham Carter was taken earlier this week on the film’s set in South Pembrokeshire, West Wales. (There are several other glimpses that can be viewed after the jump.)
Half-Blood Prince‘s July 15 debut will be followed by Deathly Hallows: Part 1 on November 2010 and Deathly Hallows: Part II on July 2011.

New Half-Blood Prince Posters and Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
Now that you’ve been gifted with a new due date, let’s present you some new eye candy.
In this latest trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (you can view the others here, here and here), we get a little bit of romance, evil and humor all thrown together.
Will girls really spell the end of Weasley? Where will this kiss between Harry and Ginny lead? And what is this mission that Voldemort has Malfoy on? (Based on Draco’s sinister look after the jump, it apparently can’t be good.)

Harry Potter Gets Another Release Date
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Sequels, Upcoming Releases

An eight month-delay has just been shortened…by two days.
After repositioning Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to open on July 17, Warner Bros. has changed its mind again. The film, once scheduled for a November 2008 release, will now open on July 15.
Why? The studio just likes to get a jump start on those earnings. (Order of the Phoenix also opened on a Wednesday back in 2007.)
Meanwhile, a date for the future Harry Potter film can now be penciled in as well: July 15, 2001. That’s also the slot tentatively set aside for Paramount’s The Avengers. Since the day chosen is not a Wednesday, I’m guessing someone will be doing some tinkering in about a year from now.

Trailer #3 for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
Despite the tone of the first two trailers, the 6th Harry Potter installment is really not as dark as it seems. At least, not entirely. This clip proves there are a few moments of levity to be found in the upcoming sequel. (It’s amazing what an “infatuation” potion can do to an hormonal teenager.)
Half-Blood Prince makes its way into theaters on July 17, 2009.
New International Harry Potter Teaser Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Sequels, Trailers
Since Warner Bros. has chosen to delay the next Harry Potter premiere, this international preview gives a whole new definition to the word “tease.”
If you can’t wait until next year, just keep flipping back and forth between the first and second trailer and pretend you have a whole movie.

Twilight Adjusts Start Date
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Thrillers, Upcoming Releases
If Harry Potter’s calendar shift has you wondering what you’ll be doing on November 21, you’re in luck. Another film adaptation is more than happy to occupy that vacated spot.
Twilight, based on the Stephenie Meyer novel, was originally scheduled to open on December 12. Now, the teen vampire movie will premiere three weeks earlier, giving me less time to stare at the unopened book on my nightstand. This announcement immediately followed Warner Bros.’ decision to move Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to next summer.
According to Summit Entertainment’s CEO, the studio (supposedly) doesn’t expect to generate the same amount of interest as that teen wizard. “We by no means are trying to fill the shoes of the incredible Potter franchise for 2008, rather we are just looking to bring the fans of Stephenie Meyer’s incredible book series the film as soon possible from a programming perspective,” said Rob Friedman.
Well, it’s probably smart of Summit’s execs not to set their expectations too high. November 21 is also the new date for Bolt, an animated movie starring teen sensation Miley Cyrus.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Delayed Until 2009
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Sequels, Upcoming Releases

Now this is what I call a tease.
After being shown the best Harry Potter trailer to date, Warner Bros. has cruelly pulled the rug out from under eager fans. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, originally scheduled for a Nov. 21 release, will now debut next July.
According to Alan Horn, Warner’s chief operating officer, the surprising decision was the result of the lengthy writers’ strike. Due to production delays, the studio doesn’t foresee having other blockbusters ready in time for the upcoming summer season.

Trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Warner Bros, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
Although I have watched every film in the series so far, I am admittedly not a die-hard Harry Potter fan. That said, the creepy trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has me pretty excited for the 6th installment.
In this clip, we see the young boy (Tom Riddle) who’ll eventually become the evil Lord Voldemort. Those thinking the young actor resembles Ralph Fiennes should know that it’s not just a result of good casting. Hero Fiennes-Tiffin is actually Ralph’s nephew.
Half-Blood Prince hits theaters on November 21 July 17.
