Dark Horizons
has an interesting interview with Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell where he discusses taking an established franchise as the Harry Potter films and making it his own.
He is some of what he had to say about directing Goblet of Fire:
"Chris Columbus made the first two, and those were a particular kind of film. Alfonso Cuaron is making the third, and it is radically different, and for me there is a story worth telling. But listen, one of the reasons to do it is that the way you literally make a film is that you take a subject and you hone it and you hone it and you hone it until it is an arrow, and it goes as straight as you can make it to the middle, if you can manage it, of the target."
