However, the producers could be sued by JK Rowling if they use her characters
“web series”.
Sounds like a publicity stunt for a fanfiction project. The Ruskies did something similar for a revisionist LOTR where the bad guys were actually the good guys and vice versa.
I will give credit where credit is due. JKR may be a leftist. But unlike a lot of so called conservatives she has not backed down to my knowledge on her convictions. Hence the unprecedented length of this fit by SJWs who usually move on to the next outrage every week.
i thought “woke” was a black thing... and now im seeing transwhatevers included. so which is it??
If they need a character, I could play a ethically ambiguous, multiracial, Pacific Islander of dubious political leanings.
Oh, and I’m non-binary too, I’ve come out as a tri-sexual.
If it’s sexual I’ll try it.
Just don’t ask me to play a democrat, they are lower than
septic tank scum.
WTF?!? We lasted a little into the scene processing what we were seeing and switched to something else.
I'm tuning in looking for a hook, something to latch on to that interests me, something that leads a little into characters that I can identify with or respect.
But nooooo... the producers felt the best way to reach me was LGBWTF propaganda? Infantile, puerile and boring...
Spend a few dozen million on production and distribution. Sure. Please do.
I'm guessing they don't know about basic biology.
Drag Queen story telling at the library goes to the movies.
Do these producers even know what the Pettigrew character does?
Peter Pettigrew murders Hogwarts student Rob Pattinson in the Potter film, "Goblet of Fire." At the beginning of that movie, Pettigrew also murders, or abets the murder, of an elderly caretaker.
You would think the producers would MANDATE that Pettigrew be played by a white, hetero, cis-gender, male!
Sick. Just sick. Evil, twisted and sick.
‘only open to an actor who is ‘Asian, black, African descent, ethnically ambiguous, multiracial, Indigenous peoples, Latino, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, South Asian, Indian, Southeast Asian or Pacific Islander’
I am all of those, and a blind albino dwarf, to boot!
I have a name for this woke remake of harry Potter stories.
“Box Office Poison”
Wish there was a way to sell
them short, this is a financial no brainer.
Does that include Europeans from Europe? They're pretty indigenous.
This sounds like it is one step up from fan fiction.
Often when film makers buy the rights to a book, once they have it they will toss the story and keep the title or completely change both.
I’ve read many original novels that were nothing like the movies made later, yet the titles say “Based on the novel by so and so.”
Hogwarts’ pan-sexual graduation orgy in the new version should be a real crowd pleaser!
I would think Rowling has control of her creation. Looks like this will be in court to me.
