About OotP and David Yates (2006): "This film is about Harry fighting his inner demons more than dragons. It's about the emotional journey. So I think David is the perfect director for that. Also, his previous work has all been quite politically based, like "Sex Traffic" and "The Girl in the Cafe," and with this film you see much more of the world outside of Hogwarts. I think this film will be quite relevant to what we're all experiencing at the moment with all of the terrorist attacks. The film eerily coincides with all of that."

First Colonia Trailer Released

The first trailer for Florian Gallenberger’s Colonia has been released. The film stars Emma Watson, Daniel Bruhl and Mikael Nyqvist and premiered Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival. No release date has been announced.

“Chile, 1973. Lufthansa flight attendant Lena (Watson) is in Santiago to visit her boyfriend, Daniel (Brühl), a talented graphic artist creating images in support of embattled President Salvador Allende. When Allende is violently ousted, General Augusto Pinochet’s forces begin rounding up dissidents. Daniel is taken to the remote stronghold of Colonia Dignidad (“Dignity Colony”), home to a secret agricultural commune and crypto-fascist sect led by sinister minister Paul Schäfer (Michael Nyqvist). Daniel is interrogated and tortured, but feigns severe mental deterioration to stay alive. Valiant and wily, Lena travels to Colonia and offers herself up to Schäfer as a follower. She is determined to find and free Daniel — but first she must ensure that she herself can survive Schäfer’s crushingly oppressive, viciously misogynistic practices.” – Tiff.net
