‘Potter’ on Entertainment Weekly Despite Delay
Despite the delay announced yesterday, Harry Potter is on the cover of the this week’s Entertainment Weekly. It’s the headlining movie for the magazine’s ‘Fall Movie Preview’. The EW is pretty upset about it. Here’s what writer Jeff Giles had to say about it.
Whatever happened to Time Warner synergy? That’s what Entertainment Weekly is snarkily asking online because its ”early look at the newHarry Potter movie just a got a whole lot earlier”. ”In an irony sure to set blogger hearts beating giddily, the film graces the cover of EWs new fall preview issue, which [just] hits stands. EW and Warner Bros. share a parent company, but they clearly do not share, you know, important friggin information…. A Warners publicist stressed that word about the rescheduling had only just come down today which is most likely true, given that the Half-Blood teaser trailer is already in circulation. As of tomorrow, it will run with the new animated Star Wars movie, almost certainly still trumpeting a fall release date. The Potter movie is also on the cover of the fall preview issue of the British film magazine Empire. ”
This was clearly not a snap decision from Warner Brothers, maybe next time they will share info with their insiders a little more quickly.
