Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows to Be Released in Two-Parts?
The UK's Mail on Sunday is reporting that the seventh and final Harry Potter film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be split into two separate films. This comes as an artistic decision, not a financial one.
The crew working on the sixth Potter film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were informed of the decision this week. The seventh novel is 776 pages long, and Rowling insists that splitting the film in two will allow fan favorite scenes to stay in the movie.
A source close to the film states, "There's so much to fit that the view is the last movie should be in two halves. There is a huge battle when Harry, played by Daniel Radcliffe, takes on Voldemort that needs to be done really well."
Rowling writes on her website, "It is simply impossible to incorporate every storyline into a film under four hours long."
Warner Brothers simply stated, "People are discussing all possibilities."

Three New Reality Series Headed to CBS
CBS is gearing up to produce three new reality series for air. According to The Hollywood Reporter, these are the first new unscripted shows that CBS has ordered since the writers went on strike last year.
The three shows included Game Show in My Head, which is based on a British series of the same name. It is a hidden camera show that finds contestants having to perform tasks as told to them by the host through an earpiece. These exercises will be done amidst an unsuspecting public. The second show is entitled Secret Talents of the Stars. It will focus on celebrities who show off their secret hidden talents. The third show is called America's Top Dog, and it will revolve around dogs and their owners competing for prizes.
None of the shows have an airdate at this time
More Myths & Legends for TV Land
TV Land has okayed a second season of their hit original series TV Land: Myths and Legends. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show originally debuted in January of 2007 and averaged 819,000 viewers over its six-week run.
The series sets out to find the truth behind certain Hollywood mysteries, scandals, rumors and urban legends. Seven half-hour episodes have been ordered in total, and will focus on whether Arnold Schwarzenegger was originally cast as TV's Incredible Hulk and if Jennifer Lopez's derriere is really insured for $1 billion. They will also look into whether Mars Inc., maker of M&M's, turned down product placement in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, allowing Reese's Pieces to step in and benefit immensely.
The second season will premiere at 10 p.m. Aug. 27.
First Look at The Princess and the Frog
Walt Disney Pictures has revealed this first photo of princess Tiana in the studio's traditionally-animated The Princess and the Frog, coming to theaters in 2009. The movie is written and directed by John Musker and Ron Clements and features the music of Randy Newman.
A musical set in the legendary birthplace of jazz -- New Orleans -- "The Princess and the Frog" will introduce the newest Disney princess, Tiana (voiced by Anika Noni Rose), a young African-American girl living amid the charming elegance and grandeur of the fabled French Quarter. From the heart of Louisiana's mystical bayous and the banks of the mighty Mississippi comes an unforgettable tale of love, enchantment and discovery with a soulful singing crocodile, voodoo spells and Cajun charm at every turn.

Underworld 3, Crank 2 and Game Updates

January 14, 2008
Collider chatted with producer Tom Rosenberg and received some updates on Underworld 3: The Rise of the Lycans (and a possible 4th film), Crank 2 and Game. Here's a clip on the "Underworld" franchise:
It's a theatrical release definitely. I feel great about that. I think it's the strongest story that we've put together of the three. I think it's really terrific. I think it leads to a 4th. When we did the 1st Underworld, we imagined three--the 1st one, a sequel and then a prequel. The 3rd is a prequel, so the 4th would carry on where Kate and Scott Speedman left off after 2, so I think this is going to be terrific really this one.
