\"Harry<\/a>It has been announced that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows<\/strong><\/a> (the final Harry Potter<\/a> book) is going to be split in two, with both films being shot back-to-back.<\/p>\n

Variety report<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\tWarner Bros. will split the last “Harry Potter” tome into a two-part film, with the installments unspooling six months apart.<\/p>\n

David Yates<\/a> will direct and Steve Kloves<\/a> will write both parts, which will be filmed concurrently.<\/p>\n

Part one of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” will bow in November 2010, with the second to debut the following May.<\/p>\n

The unusual “Kill Bill”<\/a> strategy solves a thorny problem for the studio, which had been wrestling with a way to adapt J.K. Rowling<\/a>‘s hefty tome and successfully conclude its lucrative franchise, which has generated $4.5 billion at the worldwide B.O. It’s not yet clear exactly how studio will split the 784-page book, however.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Given the sheer size of the book, it will be interesting to see how they trim it down.<\/p>\n

Why not shoot it as one and then release it as three films?<\/p>\n
