For a few days now the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabana film that presented a leap in the franchise, given that Chris Columbus He was no longer directing it and on that occasion the turn was given to none other than Alfonso Cuaron. And to celebrate the film’s birthday, an interesting interview has come out, in which Cuaron confirms that he did not know the most famous magician franchise at all when they offered him the position, and that given this his colleague Guillermo del Toro gave him a reprimand.
This is what he told Del Toro cwhen Warner He made the call:
I was confused because it wasn’t on my radar at all. I talk to Guillermo often and a couple of days later I said to him: ‘You know, they offered me this Harry Potter movie, but it’s really strange that they offer me this.
After, William He replied in a way that is very peculiar to scold your friends in Mexico and here what was mentioned:
Del Toro: Wait, wait, wait, you said you hadn’t read Harry Potter?’
Cuarón: ‘I don’t think it’s for me.’ In a very flowery lexicon.
Del Toro: ‘You’re an arrogant idiot.’ You are such a fucking arrogant bastard. You go to the damn bookstore right now, buy the books, read them and call me right away.
He later commented in his interview that he actually went to buy the books, especially the one about the film that they asked him to direct, and he responded that he immediately fell in love with the saga, which is why he instantly responded positively to the proposal. work Warner and the producer of the saga, David Hayman. Speaking of the latter, he was the one who asked Cuarón to be informed, given that “And Your Mother Too” He thought it was a good project, so he wanted to have it in the direction of Harry Potter.
Remember that the saga Harry Potter Is available in MAX.

Author’s note: These stories that we don’t know behind the spotlight are totally worth hearing, so I wish there was a complete interview about what the entire process was like from hiring to carrying out the most complicated scenes.
