Studio Warner Bros. began developing a film based on the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.” According to The Sun, citing sources, now “the project is in its infancy.”
According to the publication, we can talk about two films at once.
“Everyone who works in the Potter universe dreams of the return of the main stars of the film, including Daniel Radcliffe, but it’s too early to talk about this. First you need to decide how many films there will be, get the script and decide on the budget, ”the source said.
Warner Bros. executives thought about the adaptation of this play, after its production in London’s West End was a success. However, work on the film had to be postponed due to being busy with another project in the Harry Potter universe – the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
When the premiere of the film adaptation of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” will take place, it is not reported. It is also unknown if the actors who played key characters in the original franchise will return to their roles.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was released in 2016. Its authors were writer and screenwriter Jack Thorne, director John Tiffany and the very creator of the Potter series J.K. Rowling. The story takes place immediately after the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, where Harry Potter and his wife Ginny Weasley see their children off at King’s Cross Station to Hogwarts.
Since February 1, all Harry Potter films have been removed from Russian online cinemas. This is due to the fact that the license rights to the tapes of this universe ended on January 31st.
On March 1, 2022, Disney, Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures announced their refusal to release their new films in Russia.
