Chris Columbus, who directed the first two Harry Potter films, this week marks the 20th anniversary of the release of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
In a conversation with the Hollywood Reporter magazine, the director said that he had recently watched "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" in London, a Broadway play that follows the characters in the book and movie series while leading an adult life, and revealed that he is interested in directing a film adaptation.
"A version of 'The Cursed Boy' with Dan (Daniel Radcliffe), Rupert (Grint) and her mother (Watson) at the appropriate age could be cinematic magic," he said. The actors of the original film are today in their 30s, just like their adult characters in the play. "If you're a movie geek, it's a bit reminiscent of what J.J. Abrahams did with 'Star Wars,'" he added, comparing the potential of bringing the play to movie screens while bringing back the original actors in the film series, and reviving the science fiction film brand The popular.
"'Star Wars movies' really got big again when JJ directed them and all the original cast members in it," he explained.
"There's no doubt that if you're a Star Wars fan, you've just been thrilled to see them appear on screen. Seeing Harrison Ford as a solo solo again, it was very exciting. I think it's going to be the same situation with 'Harry Potter' fans. Really watching the actors in their adult version "Again playing the characters who played as children? Or, yes. It would be unusually fun to make this film. Or maybe two of them."
"Harry Potter and the Cursed Child", the stage play in question, begins where the last chapter in the book series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" ends, which was released in 2007. This is when Harry and his wife Ginny bring their son to the Hogwarts Express to begin his studies at home. The Book of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
