Bill Nighy (Not The Science Guy) In HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!!
|
Murmurings of this started percolating a few weeks ago on various HARRY POTTER-related boards (I believe it may've originated HERE - forgive me if I'm wrong).
But now, the ultra-magnificent Bill Nighy has confirmed he's landed a gig in the final HARRY POTTER FILM (DEATHLY HALLOWS) - the first part of which should hit theaters late next year.
I don't think I'm allowed to say it but I'm going to be in the next Harry Potter film," he tells us. "I won't say which character, but he's a goodie. I just got the gig."
...said Nighy to The Independent during THIS brief discussion.
Speculation abounds as to who he'll play in the movie franchise's two part finale - one not-so-unreasonable conjecture is that he may be Rufus Scrimgeour. SOunds like a character who could be related to BORAT.
More as more is known.
