Update: Two high-res pictures have been released from Warner Brothers. One depicts Snape, Narcissa & Bellatrix and the Unbreakable Vow; the other shows the very young Tom Riddle in his room at the Orphanage.
You may have checked the date already after reading the headline, but no, it is not April the 1st.
Warner Brothers has just announced that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will not be released until next summer, on July 17th.
Mr. Alan Horn, President of WB, stated:
"Our reasons for shifting ‘Half-Blood Prince’ to summer are twofold: we know the summer season is an ideal window for a family tent pole release, as proven by the success of our last Harry Potter film, which is the second-highest grossing film in the franchise, behind only the first installment. Additionally, like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers’ strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films—changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of. We agreed the best strategy was to move ‘Half-Blood Prince’ to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer."
He also said:
"Warner currently is riding high with "The Dark Knight," the Batman film that also stars Bale. The grim super-hero movie has taken in $452 million in the U.S. since its July 18 release, making it the second-highest grossing film ever.
To some degree, that success motivated Warner to shift "Half-Blood Prince," Horn said. The film will now hit theaters the same midsummer weekend that "Dark Knight" was released this year. Horn said the young, core Potter audience would be out of school and give the film a longer theatrical life. It will now open opposite Universal's special-effects comedy "Land of the Lost," which stars Will Ferrell. But Horn said there was nothing next year compared to this summer's especially dense slate of big-budget releases."
Mr. Horn finally said: "We would never do anything to hurt one of the movies or the series. We love our fans."
Rupert Grint spoke with MTV about the upcoming film Cherrybomb in which he stars, and also talked about the Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer, addressing those who would have liked more scenes:
“It’s only a teaser, just to get people excited."
In addition, he says that even though he hasn't seen the teaser trailer yet, he is happy that "there is a shot of him in the trailer, as it was from one of his favourite scenes from the film."
Yes, it's here! The Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer is now online, and it can be seen both here on this site as well as on AOL Moviefone in three wonderful formats. More - and longer - trailers should also appear soon; keep checking back !
The very brief Half-Blood Prince teaser trailer has now been released; it features a plain black background, Dumbledore's voice along with the HBP and IMAX 3D titles.
Jason Isaacs, the actor who portrays Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films spoke about his possible role in the seventh movie:"I am not in number six unfortunately, but I hope to be in number seven which starts next year and I haven't seen the scripts. If I am not in it I will be picketing the set to be sure."However, as Lucius plays a considerably more significant role in Deathly Hallows compared to Half-Blood Prince, he'll probably be coming back for the seventh film.
An incredible, wonderful, magical new official trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been released from Warner Brothers!
