The statement comes after the company has already revealed interest in producing new films for the Harry Potter franchise.
After Warner suggested that new films in the Harry Potter franchise could hit the big screen in the future, in an interview published by Variety last Wednesday, 30, Channing Dungeyhead of the Warner Bros. TV group, left the way open for pop culture’s favorite little wizard to win narratives on the small screen.
Despite not confirming details such as dates or titles for possible series in the magical universe, the executive said that “There is a huge ambition for this and we are involved in several different conversations”.
I wish I could say there’s something imminent on the horizon, but there’s a lot of interest and passion for the franchise, absolutely. It’s amazing when we see that the audience is involved and that’s it. Our documentary team did the amazing Back at Hogwarts special on HBO last year, and then we had The Championship of Houses, with Helen Mirren as host. The audience is ready, they want it, so we’re figuring out what the next step is.”
It is worth remembering that the CEO of Warner Bros. discovery, David Zaslavhad advanced the interest in new productions derived from the books of J.K. Rowling last month, when telling that there is no 🇧🇷a Harry Potter movie 15 years ago” and that the wizard stories “brought a lot of profit for Warner Bros.”.
Despite Zaslav having revealed that the company’s objective is to “focus on franchises”, there is still a detail that is worth remembering, since after the merger between Warner and Discovery, new policies were implemented, and one of them involves the reduction of losses with a cut of around US$ 3.5 billion, or R$ 17.6 billion, in expenses and taxes included mainly in new releases, so the Potterheads may have to wait some time for them to finally be able to follow the dreamed new productions.
Launched in 2001, ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ opened doors for the franchise, which has eight feature films. With the success of the film adaptation of the stories originally created on the pages by J.K. Rowlingthe saga also gained spin-offs launched from 2016 through the sequel ‘Fantastic Beasts’.
