A very brief, and not so informative article! I tend to agree with previous posters that it doesn't fill me with faith in the information provided. David Yates directed only two out of six of the Potter films, and as for Sir Ian making a new name for himself with the LOTR movies! He's had a long and distinguished career, and as brilliant as he was as Gandalf (one of the few characters who I thought were done really well), he'd already made quite a name for himself apart from the movies. It would be a shame for the movie and for the fans if he did pull out, but on the off chance it actually does get finished one day, I'll still go and see it with my son now he's nearly finished reading the book.
