New interviews with Mike Newell and Dan

Starlog" Magazine published new interviews with Goblet of Fire Director Mike Newell and Dan Radcliffe in their latest issue, scans of which are now up at HPANA. Newell is quoted as saying:

"I started out with this belief that the trouble with special effects was that they stopped being real. OK, fine, a flying carriage is a flying carriage. There is no such thing as a flying carriage. But the flying carriage has to be real, real, real! Because if it isn't, it's not worth anything.

"I needed to be persuaded that the effects could be real, and I didn't believe that at the start. But now, I absolutely do. I'm convinced these guys can create a realism that is completely credible and has nothing to do with cartoons or Ray Harryhausen. There's that famous phrase: 'The suspension of disbelief.' And you really do suspend disbelief with the effects in this movie. The proof of the pudding is this: I've gone from an unbeliever to a mad, zealot convert. I'm positive these guys can make it real. They can get me to suspend my disbelief, and by God I didn't want to."

All eleven scans can be seen at HPANA
