Gary Oldman

No 'Sirius' deal yet, says Oldman's manager Popular (10542)

Gary Oldman has not yet been presented with or signed a contract to appear in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, HPANA has confirmed.

Despite a recent statement from the studio, we have learned and double-confirmed that no agreement has been made.

"At this time Gary Oldman is not set to appear in the next Potter film," manager Doug Urbanski told HPANA. "I cannot explain why the studio confirmed his appearance."

It's unlikely Oldman wouldn't reprise his role as Sirius Black in the fifth film.

Note: This does not imply he won't be in the movie, just that there's no current definitive agreement for him to appear.

He's a good actor but I won't be totally disappointed if he's not in the movie. He was mediocre to me. I imagine Sirius of having a young spirit so it would be nice to have someone young and actually have his essence instead of putting some famous guy.

He has to sign back on! Without him the whole movie would be messed up, and they can't find someone new! That would just ruin the whole movie! It wouldn't be the same!

I hope he signs, because although he has only been in PoA, I really couldn't see another Sirius, it would be like having to accept a new Dumbledore all over again.

ACK! I think I must have spoken too soon on the last board. There I was, thinking everything was safe and set, and saying that it was good to know for sure that Gary would be back, even though it seemed to unlikely that he wouldn't be... and WHAMO!

Excuse me a moment. I have to go kick a studio executive.

The movie just has to have Sirius in it to make sense. Recasting Sirius at this point would just be stupid and I seriously think a lot of people would not go to see it if they did. The studio better come up with a good deal soon, or it'll be their serious loss (no pun intended...really).

We got to have him back in the movie! He's an important figure and he just cannot appear! I mean, what will the movie be like if Sirius doesn't appear? They'd have to cut so much out and I won't like that at all.

I hope they come to a deal. It's always annoying to get this far in a series of movies and have the actors change, although it's got to be difficult when there are this many movies to be made. Oh well, *crosses fingers*

What??? i thought he was coming back!!? He has to be in the 5th film! What's going on, first they say that he is going to be in the film now they are saying that's not going to be in it?? This is really upsetting! Well I hope it works out in the end so he's in the film!

No matter how much we love Gary, people will go see the movie even with someone else as Sirius. Personally, I've never been keen on Gary Oldman as Sirius (Though they definitely could have done worse)... or the overly sentimental way they portrayed him in the third film. I do agree that it's annoying that they may have to switch out an actor two movies into his role.

[sigh] Still wishing they'd cast Rufus Sewell as Sirius in the first place.

Chances are, he'll come back, no worries.

Awwww, he has to come back. They can't replace him!! It'll be soo awkward though I do agree with mightyaphrodite I think that Rufus Sewell, would've been a good choice.

I love Gary Oldman and I love Sirius. Oldman's so perfect for the role and I can't see anyone else playing him. I'm hoping that there'll be a definite agreement soon enough :)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, if Sirius is not in the movie, Im not going to the movie on the opening day!!!!

If theyre going to replace him, then Id rather Viggo Mortensen plays him, the one who played Aragorn in LOTR ..

Oh well, we'll find out and see!

Why won't you sign the contract? Why, we need you in Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix. Unless you are planning on doing another film where you portray the amazing Sid Vicious, you should be doing Harry Potter. I wish you would do another sid vicious film, you were amazing in Sid and Nancy.

That's slightly depressing. It would be odd not to have Gary as Sirius, I mean, it was sad enough when we had to get a new Dumbledore. Let's just keep our fingers crossed for now....
