Indian-born director Mira Nair (Vanity Fair) told the Delhi Times newspaper that she's been offered the job of helming the fifth Harry Potter movie. "I'm getting offers to direct Harry Potter [and the] Order of the Phoenix," Nair told the newspaper. "I read it over the weekend. I'm still deciding."
Order of the Phoenix will be based on the fifth of J.K. Rowling's best-selling Potter books. Nair added: "My son Zoharan's excited. I've seen all the Harry Potter movies with him." Nair is best known for Monsoon Wedding.
The upcoming fourth Potter film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, is currently in production under director Mike Newell for a Nov. 18, 2005, release. Phoenix is targeting a June 2007 release.

I saw this too, or rather my daughter did, on one of her favorite HP sites.

The guy who directed PofA (his name escapes me) sure didn't last long - what happened to him?

somethin Curon...
well, he was only meant to do one film...since Goblet of Fire was in pre-Preduction while he was still working on Prisoner...and since Goblet is still being made NOW, they cant use THAT director...so theyre going with another one...i think they should just go the LOTR route, and do both at once...that way, the kids will still be the right age...
and as far as the Order being released in June of 06, i dont think that woul be a problem either, as theyd only be about 2 years ahead, and by the time the last one came out, im sure theyd still look young enough...even if they were 4 years older...i mean, the chick who played cordelia in buffy, charisma carpenter, was playing an 18 year old at 28

What's with all the changing of directors?
I think the director of the third one was much better than Chris Colobus (or however you spell it.
) We should stick with that one...
Then again... this might be an improvment.

Chris Columbus produced the third one, so he still had some input into it...but that was the last one hes gonna do..at least at the moment..i liked the first two better...i liked the pacing...granted, they were smaller books...but...cmon...the LOTR books were like...twice the size of all the harry potter books...and THEY were made into great flicks
