Last month, rumors began to surface that Warner Bros. was going to release ultimate editions of the first two “Harry Potter” movies. While no one was sure if it would be theatrical or on home video, today WB officially announced the titles and they are home video releases.

So to help promote the December 8th release, WB has cut a new trailer which details what you can expect to see on the DVD’s and Blu-rays and if you’re a fan of the “Harry Potter” franchise, I’m sorry to say…you’ll be double dipping this holiday season.

I’m going to do my best trying to decipher the corporate ins-and-outs of the news that DC Comics is restructuring in order for its parent company Warner Bros to finally bring their major superhero properties to the big screen.  Hit the jump to have me comically (wordplay!) misunderstand everything.

Last week Omelete (our partners in Brazil) were in London attending the international junket for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. Thanks to our partnership, I’m excited to be able to share the video interviews that Omelete did with the “Harry Potter” cast on Collider. We’ve already posted the interviews with Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint, now it’s time for the interview with Emma Watson. Take a look after the jump.

Last week Omelete (our partners in Brazil) were in London attending the international junket for “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. I was also in London for some set visits and had planned on attending the print portion of the junket. But due to a mix up in communication about which day the interviews were, I actually didn’t get to participate in the junket.

But thanks to our partnership, I’m excited to be able to share the video interviews that Omelete did with the “Harry Potter” cast on Collider. The other day I posted our interview with Daniel Radcliffe and now it’s time for Rupert Grint. With the movie doing record business, I’m sure many of you are going to be interested watching them.

Exclusive: Producer David Heyman talks HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE and HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS

Producer David Heyman.jpg

As one of the producers of the “Harry Potter” films, David Heyman has done the impossible - he made the beloved books work brilliantly as standalone movies. And the most recent - “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” - is getting some of the best reviews yet. In fact, many have called it the best of the series.

Anyway, while “Half-Blood Prince” has just been released, David and the “Potter” team have been hard at work for the past three months on the final film, which is being released as a two-parter in November 2010 and July 2011. Since he was cool to talk about everything, we spent almost thirty minutes discussing all three films.

After the jump you can read about changes from the book to the screen, deleted scenes, the running time for “Deathly Hallows”, will there be a trailer for part two on part one, how long will the final battle be in part two, what else he’s producing, and a lot more! It’s a great interview and a must-read if you’re a “Harry Potter” fan.

Warner Bros. has just released seven new movie clips from “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and they’re after the jump. This is on top of the 2 they released the other day.

Since I’ve already raved about the new “Potter” film, I don’t know what else to say except watch some of the clips and see for yourself what might be the best of the series. While I’d love to say it’s definitely the best one, that can only come from watching the film a few times and giving it some space. But it’s definitely one of my favorites, and I’m sure it will be one of yours as well.

Warner Bros. has released two clips from “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and they’re after the jump. Since I’ve already said how much I loved the new “Potter” film a few times, I don’t know what else to tell you except get your tickets now and see it opening weekend. While you already know how the movie is going to go if you’ve read the book, there are a few surprises. But if you need a taste now, the clips are called ‘I Killed Sirius Black’ and ‘Who’s the Half-Blood Prince’. Take a look:

According to Fandango, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” is already selling 65% of it’s daily ticket sales. Also, advance ticket sales for the new Potter movie are outpacing advance sales for “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and the fifth Potter movie, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”, at the same point in those films’ sales cycles (eight days before release date). What that means is…the boy wizard is still magic at the box office.

Steve is in London This Week

You may be wondering why I’ve been quiet these past two days. It’s because on Friday morning I departed Los Angeles and after a layover in New York City, arrived in sunny London Saturday morning. I’m over on the other side of the Atlantic this week to visit a few movie sets. While I can’t write about what I’m covering (yet), I can say both set visit are exclusive to Collider and one of them is going to let me do all the interviews on camera. So at some point down the road, you can expect me to fully write about this adventure.

Also, to all you “Harry Potter” fans, I’m going to be participating in interviews with the cast and filmmakers this week for “Half-Blood Prince”, so look for those very soon. When I agreed to take this trip, I had no idea “Harry Potter” would be doing press while I was here, so this was an added bonus. As a big “Harry Potter” fan, I’m excited to cover the film while  in London.

Finally, early tomorrow morning I’m taking a train to get to my first set visit. I’m going to try and film/take pictures of the adventure, so check back tomorrow night for whatever I can post. While it might not be movie news, I think it could be cool. And if I can sneak in anything about tomorrow’s set visit…I will.

MTV Movie Awards Clips for TRANSFORMERS, HARRY POTTER, and GI JOE

Posted: May 31st, 2009 at 9:40 pm

headline1.jpgAndy Samberg did his best (I really enjoyed “Cool Guys Don’t Look at Explosions” and “Doubt” for the Sega Genesis) but nothing can stop MTV from making sure it’s the most vapid station on cable (and that’s saying something). But middle-school girls must have been pleased that the hours they spent voting over and over again for “Twilight” really paid off with awards no one cares about. They also got a look at the teaser trailer for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” where the defenseless girl is now protected by a werewolf instead of a vampire. It’s gonna be a completely different film.

MTV also showed off some clips from upcoming summer movies which we’ve included below. Check them out after the jump.
