Mike Newell - $1M + squat
Heh, would you direct 2 movies for that price?
If I were MN I'd say screw it, crank the movie out fast and move on to the next project that will pay more just for having being attached to a HP film.
I predict crap. Sorry guys. I mean check out the guy's resume on IMDB. The whole budget went to actors and sfx with nothing left for a good director.
I'm not saying I'm going to skip it even if it gets bad reviews (heck I felt Prisoner of Azkaban was overrated and not as good as Chamber of Secrets), but I am keeping my expectations proportionally lowered.
