Perhaps.

Would be pretty cool.

'Least we know he can do a Book-To-Movie properly, unlike Columbus or Newell..

It could be worse like, Steven Spelberg Directing a crappy movie called A.I.

Oh wait, Is Peter Jackson being a directer a good thing?

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyy

that would be the best news i've heard about hp. Peter Jackson is one of the greatest i think. LOTR's and Kong. Those are good movies.

Don't know if it would ever happen, doesn't seem that likely. Though it would be great if he did. He has a great grasp of how to do movies with a strong fantasy, or fantastical element in them - really captures the emotion and wonder such films posses (I got a bit misty eyed when Kong fell, damn humans in planes, shooting him in the back, so dishonorable.) It certainly could be epic. Who knows, maybe if it happened it might even win an Oscar!

Still, I would prefer it if had been one of the others, the Half Blood Prince doesn't really have any amazing bits that would allow Jackson to really shine, and I don't just mean special effects wise. After all, his two most successful films, the LOTR's trilogy and King Kong had lots of character development, coupled with huge landscapes and set pieces, the Half Blood Prince was so contained in Hogwarts, and rarely anywhere else. And it just seems like, out of the series, it is a bit emotionally plain, and lacked the pace of some of the others, at least until it got to Dumbledore's last act - now Jackson directing that could really be something, like the ways he handled character deaths in Kong and LOTR's, so much emotion.

If I had to chose which book I would have put Jackson in charge of - probably either book 4, 5 or 7.

Poo people probably just want him to cause they dont know the names of other directors

Oh dear... I dont know.. I hope he's not going to blow it. I find his movies to much on the edge between really good and trying-to-hard-boring-to-long-spoiling-the-movie-by-trying-to-hard...

Dunno... but i think it's early yet.

I douubt this is true. After Jackson was messed about by Universal over making King Kong he's taking a 1 year hiatus to relax. Have you seen how much weight he lost with stress over making Kong. He only made it
because it has been his dream project (he was supposed to make it before LotR) even inspite of his wealth.

Yes I realise a 1 year break from making films could still allow Jackson to direct a HP movie, yet I doubt he would buy into another franchise so easily. I hope the Hobbit will be made eventually, then he can get back onto films like the Frighteners, which was great.

Not sure where these rumors come about...wish people would list their source...if there even is one, so that the rest of us could research it.


Peter Jackson is listed with the two upcoming projects.

The Lovely Bones
Halo


Harry Potter is not listed...so therefore, I would get your hopes up.

Oh. I found it when i googled "Half Blood Prince Movie" and about half way down i saw a rumours page. Thats where i found it. I forgot the name of the site

AI was an awesome movie...

Well, I personally think Peter Jackson directing a Harry Potter movie could either be really good or really bad. If he sticks to Rowling's directions and doesn't take too many liberties, I think he could make it great. But if he tries to make his own movie out of it, it could turn out to be something completely un-Harry Potter and ultimately bad.

No matter what, if he directs a HP movie it will be awesome. Its if he sticks to the story or not and puts in all the important things

i heard a rumour that tim burton was directing it

I wish it is true. That would rock

Isnt he doing the halo or splinter cell movie? Thats what I read in a magazine. Plus hes a big of a A-lister know. They would pick someone else.

I fixed yours too.

Peter Jackson directing would be pretty sweet... Some one mentioned Tim Buton being rumored to direct it... I have to say, though highly unlikely, it would be so freakin awesome. Espectially for the darker books.

How many movies was the current Harry Potter director currently locked in for?

I pray to god it is. He'd do a better job than that poor excuse for a director who cut out what seemed like half the content from GoF in the movie.

Why the heck would Peter jackson want to make the Half blood Prince lol?

He's a great director.

But why Harry Potter?...I mean why would Jackson want to direct; devote 2 or so years of his life, to a Harry Potter film? Seriously

A new experience, perhaps? You saw how big his recent movies were, King Kong, LOTR. The world of Harry Potter is unique in a way that Jackson can easily tweak it to greatness.

My question sitll stands to reason...

He only made King Kong because of complications over rights etc... He was planning to make it and had started developement on Kong nearly 10 years ago now, only then he had the LotR idea...however he still had to make Kong.

And surely imbersing himself in yet another big budget franchise would not be a good move for someone who lost numerous pounds in stress over kong.

If you've seen The Frighteners then you'll know what kind of movie Jackson likes to make...not HP movies....

I hope he does coz everytime wb release a movie he has one out that gets all the damn awards when clearly hp earns them hands down if he does he may get ian mckellan to do DD that would be wicked

yea and Andy Serkis as Voldemort.

He's producing Halo. Not making it
