he wants to do it, but New Line doesn't own the rights and the property is in legal limbo. So PJ can't do anything until that is cleared up.

Besides, a lot (and I mean a WHOLE LOT) of Goblet of Fire was exposition and rehashing of what had gone on in the previous 3 books. I think a filmmaker who knows what he's doing can easily turn in a Goblet of Fire film with a running time of under 3 hours.
definitly, 35min for the quidtich torny, 15-20min for each triwizard event, 30min for the dance and everything leading up to it, 15min for the final confrontation. That still leaves 30-45min for all the inbetweens. It could be done.
