Guillermo del Toro really, REALLY wants to direct Deathly Hallows
January 9, 2008 by Wendy Boswell
Director Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, among others) is seriously going for the chance to direct Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
“I’m definitely interested,” he insisted, “now that the movies have grown darker. They have a contrast between the gloomy existence of the kid and the world he’s exposed to. They have evolved into a really nice universe.”

Who do YOU think should direct Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?
Wendy since it’s an opinion my feeling was POA had the best direction and held the most detail . The flow in POA was the best of all the movies . I think Deathly Hallows is just full of detail that needs that kind of direction and editing and care . There is a huge feminine influence in DH . Alfonso Cuaron by far handled that interaction the best .I would like to hear what you think . My biggest fear is that they will destroy this movie by making it 90 min .
Dannl, that’s an interesting viewpoint….and you’re right there is a feminine influence in DH. I’m torn between Cates and Cuaron.
