by Doc on Jul.22, 2002, under Movies
It was announced some time ago that Chris Columbus, who has directed the first two Harry Potter films, plans to step aside after the completion of the second. Variety is now reporting that Alfonso Cuaron (The Little Princess, Great Expectations) will take over for Harry Potter and the Prisoneer of Azkaban, with filming scheduled to begni early next year. Not much is known on casting yet, other than all the main characters will return.
