Scribe places 'Order'
Nov 17, 2004
Michael Goldenberg has signed on to adapt the fifth installment of the "Harry Potter" series, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," for producer David Heyman and Warner Bros. Pictures. The project is expected to begin principal photography in late 2005 or early 2006 for release in summer 2007. Steve Kloves, who wrote the screenplays for the first four "Harry Potter" films, has opted to step away from the series to adapt and direct another Warner Bros. project, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," based on the best-selling novel by Mark Haddon. Brad Grey, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's Plan B Entertainment is producing "Curious" with Heyman. Goldenberg most recently adapted "Where the Wild Things Are" and also wrote "Peter Pan" and "Contact." He also wrote and directed "Bed of Roses." In addition to writing the four "Harry Potter" screenplays, Kloves also has written "Racing With the Moon," "The Fabulous Baker Boys," "Flesh and Bone" and "Wonder Boys." He also directed "Flesh" and "Boys." Goldenberg is repped by WMA. Kloves is represented by CAA.
