HBP Mix: No Fiennes, McCrory Filming, Crew in Norway
A few stories relating to the production of Half-Blood Prince have appeared online today.
- Ralph Fiennes, the actor who plays Lord Voldemort in the Potter films, has revealed in an interview with Ain't It Cool News that he won't be appearing in the sixth film. When asked about if he is signed for Deathly Hallows, he says "not yet."
- On ITV's This Morning, Damian Lewis (Helen McCrory's husband) revealed that Helen is filming her scenes as Narcissa Malfoy this week. Damian said she was "extremely excited" and is following blogs that are also excited.
I hadn't realized that Damian Lewis' wife was cast as Narcissa!
She was supposed to be Bellatrix, but had to drop when she got up the duff. Or so I heard somewhere.
The Speed Racer trailer I saw at the theaters was Fucking Awesome.
Yeah, I've seen the trailer. There was a monkey.
Visually it was just so spectacular.
It's the Wachowskis!
Also Cristina Ricci looked supercute as Trixie.
She also looks cute with a pig nose.
I'm interested in Matthew Fox as Racer X. That looks fun. Evil Jack!
Helen McCrory
She was originally set to star as Bellatrix then became pregnant with Lewis' baby, which is why that role went to HBC. McCrory is a fine actress, but I have trouble imagining her as an icy blonde. The last movie of hers I watched was as Tony Blair's wife in The Queen.

Yes!! I need to find my darned copy.
I need to re-read (Lord knows why), but Voldemort isn't in HBP much, is he?
Frank's whitefont caused me to blurt a cynical "hehheh" outloud.
I was thinking the same thing (about Voldemort in HBP).
Not Fiennes-aged Voldemort, but we see him at various points in his youth and young adulthood.
I just rewatched The Queen over the weekend; it's available (in widescreen!) on Comcast OnDemand through the Encore section.

Just might have to do that.

Thought so. They aren't going to not have Ralph for DH.
Technically not a movie, but Amazon has I, Claudius for only $37!! I might have to splurge...
