Newell eyes 4th 'Potter'

Newell eyes 'Fire'

Zorianna Kit
Warner Bros. Pictures and helmer Mike Newell are looking to team on the studio's fourth installment of its Harry Potter franchise, "Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire." Although the director has not yet seen a script or even met with studio executives about the project, both sides are eager to work together on "Goblet." Should a deal be reached, Newell would be the first British helmer to come aboard the franchise -- based on Brit author J.K. Rowling's book series -- and join the studio's eclectic, international stable of "Potter" helmers including the U.S.-born Chris Columbus and Mexican helmer Alfonso Cuaron, who directs the upcoming "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." Newell, repped by ICM, next directs Revolution Studios' "Mona Lisa Smile," starring Julia Roberts.
