The young stars of the upcoming Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban movie told SCI FI Wire that it's been different, but good, working with new director Alfonso Cuar�n, who steps in for Chris Columbus. "Especially for me, as someone who hadn't acted in anything else before, it was great working with a new director and doing something different, seeing different techniques, different ideas, all that kind of stuff," said Emma Watson (Hermione) during a break in filming on the film's London set. "It's also been really good fun."
Mexican director Cuar�n (A Little Princess, Y tu mam� tambi�n) takes over the franchise from Columbus, who helmed the first two installments. "I think there's definitely a difference in style by just looking at the two," Watson said. "I've only seen a few clips of this third one that's coming out, but Alfonso's done some amazing things with camera angles and camera shots. And this one is much more flowy. I don't know. You can just tell the difference. Especially with the director, a lot of himself goes into what he's doing and you can definitely tell the difference. It's great. It's really good." Watson and co-stars Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) and Rupert Grint (Ron) agreed that Cuar�n is bringing out the teenager in the characters. "Chris always had this fantastically energetic approach to doing the scenes, which suited the first two films absolutely perfectly," Radcliffe said. "And he made two absolutely fantastic films. With the third one, Alfonso has a much more kind of laid back, kind emotional, intense way of directing." Watson added, "Yeah, and he wanted a lot of our input in the characters and a lot more he kind of said, 'Well, how would you do it? What would you do it like?' And 'No, I'm not going to tell you how to do it. It's got to come from what you think and from your own experiences and stuff.'" Prisoner of Azkaban, based on the third of author J.K. Rowling's best-selling Potter novels, is slated for release on June 4. _______________________________________________ Sndbox mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://a8.mewebdns-a8.com/mailman/listinfo/sndbox_sandboxmail.net
