	Probably something to do with Ms. Rowling's lawyers. It's "Mrs." not "Ms.". She is now remarried and is expecting a second child. -----signature----- "To abandon the Republic would be against my better judgment as a loving leader of my people."

	I, being an American myself, can fully understand why they would want it to be a fully British production with all British actors. Thank about it, the series takes place in Britain, all the main characters are British, and a British production company, Heyday Films, was the first to actually begin the process of bringing the series from paper to screen. By all accounts, the whole process that the films are and will be going through makes completely good sense. I would have it no other way. PS: This is one of the main ways that the movies are going to stay faithfull with the books. If they take place in Britain, they will be filmed in Britain. If the characters are British, then the actors will likewise be British. It wouldn't make good sense to have an American actor play the role of Harry Potter would it? Whether he had a good accent of not. -----signature----- "To abandon the Republic would be against my better judgment as a loving leader of my people."

	I do find it interesting that they have no such insistence in terms of writer or director, both of whom (unless I'm mistaken) have been American -- and the director for Prisoner of Azkaban (my fav, for the record) is Mexican.

	<<It's "Mrs." not "Ms.". She is now remarried and is expecting a second child. >> I think you'll find it's Ms. her "professional" name is Ms. J.K. Rowling. her married name is Mrs. "Enter Surname here" <<personality has nothing to bare on how well he is animated, textured and composited in.>> I concur but, it was crap the way he was textured and composited. the animation was great until he started walking, then he just kinda....floated! anyway, Nick "Shorty" Long -----signature----- TF.N Superheroes:http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=4509423 and: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=6121841 Becoming Batman: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=23408C25649BC5F0 Certified Color Trainer

	Myself, I'd want to be a combination of both Pixar and ILM. Doing features films like Pixar, but with subject matter other than kiddie films, like ILM. Oh, and, for the record, in actual movie terminology, "SFX" stands for SOUND effects, not special effects. -----signature----- Introducing new Dark Side RocketGirl™: Quicker, Easier, More Seductive!™ "Duuude, the fat guy totally just blew up!" -Pink Five My YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/BionicDance Read my webcomic: http://kanirabaxter.comicgenesis.com/

	I realize that her professional title is "Ms. J.K. Rowling", but only because that is what she was when she began writing the series and publishing it. But, on the other hand, her real title is now "Mrs." I never said "Rowling". Only that her real title is now "Mrs."; now that she is remarried and no longer single. But I'm going to get off of the subject because I do not understand why we have to be so technical about everything. Let's just let people say what they wan't, and not have to get all on their rears for maybe having one thing wrong in their statement. We don't need to be corrected on everything all of the time. I just wanted to bring up the subject of "Mrs." in order to let HP fans know that she was remarried and expecting, if they haven't known already. That's all. -----signature----- "To abandon the Republic would be against my better judgment as a loving leader of my people."

	From The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language: "As a courtesy title Ms. serves exactly the same function that Mr. does for men, and like Mr. it may be used with a last name alone or with a full name. Furthermore, Ms. is correct regardless of a woman's marital status, thus relegating that information to the realm of private life, where many feel it belongs anyway. Some women prefer Miss or Mrs., however, and courtesy requires that their wishes be respected." -----signature----- Koo joo, hwankee?

	Well I rather be corrected than stay in error. Anyway UI thought Ms. could be applied to either married or unmarried, at least here in the US. Or maybe I got it wrong on that, but who knows with the political correctness now ;-). Anyway I didn't know about Rowling's personal life, what's important is the work (why I like actors that stay private). As far as the directors, well probably that was part of the deal. They would let Rowling have an all British cast (which was the right idea, I agree completely Senator_Amory) screenplay approval and be a UK production but Warner would have a say on maybe directors, screenwriter, producers and non-UK FX. Part of dealmaking. While the actor thing is totally understandable, having it be a UK production and VFX mostly doesn't make much sense. What if shooting on Canada or Australia was cheaper? Maybe they could have used the cash saved for bigger sets or more VFX. Not to say that the UK crews were not upo to it, a lot of talent is up there with many great filming stages and studios. Anyway nothing bad, it's just that the production had some unusual, out of the norm, requirements. And I totally disagree with NickLong, JarJar was wonderfully textured and composited, he felt alive. Some of the animation was a bit off like when he jumps into the swamp at the beginning of Ep. 1. But for the most part he was one of the best CG characters to date. -----signature----- http://www.ilmfan.com/ The Unofficial Industrial Light + Magic Website

	<<But I'm going to get off of the subject because I do not understand why we have to be so technical about everything>> Dude, you're the one who was getting technical. can't expect others just just sit there in "awe" of your "superior knowledge" anyway, Nick "Shorty" Long P.S. I also don't think ILM are very good at lighting ORGANIC CG when they composite stuff... ...just to open another can of worms! -----signature----- TF.N Superheroes:http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=4509423 and: http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=6121841 Becoming Batman: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=23408C25649BC5F0 Certified Color Trainer

	I really wasn't expecting people to stand in "awe" of my supposed "superior knowledge" that I didn't even know that I had. Let's just put the worms back in the can and seal the lid on the whole Ms. Mr. Mrs. Miss and the whole thinga-ma-jigg and leave it at that. And I also like to be corrected and not be in error, but that's just it. Give me a simple correction, and maybe a link so that I will know what you say is true, and not go so in-depth about it. This is a whole lot better, and people will take to it much easier and will be more likely to confess where they were wrong, and go on with it. Gosh, I didn't expect people to get so jumpy over my little comment about the "Ms. and Mrs." thing. Goodness. -----signature----- "To abandon the Republic would be against my better judgment as a loving leader of my people."
