 Gary
Oldman is in negotiations to reprise his role as Sirius Black for Warner
Bros. Pictures' fifth Harry Potter installment, "Harry Potter and
the Order of the Phoenix."
When principal photography on
the David Yates-helmed movie started February 6 at the U.K.'s Leavesden
Studios, negotiations with Oldman had not begun. That led to speculation
in the British press that Oldman would not be returning and the part
would have to be recast.
"We're not shooting his
part for quite a while, and as is always the case, you begin with the
parts that are most pressing," "Potter" producer David
Heyman said. "We have every intention of having Gary Oldman play
Sirius Black."
The studio had most of the key
actors under contract until the fourth film and had to make new deals
with them for the fifth and subsequent films. |
