No 'Sirius' deal yet, says Oldman's manager

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.

Noone else could be Sirius. Gary Oldman is one of the best actors, watch Immortal Beloved or Fifth Element. His range and creativity is crazy. He better sign.

I'm glad I didn't post "told ya so" in the previous news release from WB. I really hope it does work out--Gary Oldham exceeded my expections in POA. I couldn't imagine OotP without him.

Sounds like somebody got their wires crossed. Why would Wb say he was appearing if he isn't? Did they just forget to mail the contract to him??

They'd better just sign him up already, I mean it would be really bad if a new Sirius was introduced just to up and leave at the end of this film anyways. I think some non-HP fans may be a bit confused. Hope we hear Gary's confirmation soon!

Oh my goodness! thats a disappointment after being so very happy about the news from the other day :( I truly hope whatever is going on is settled and Gary reprises his role. No one else can be as good as him as Sirius.
Do we know if the confirmation from the studios about David reprising his role as Remus is true, or is that another weird statement?
They both better be back in the fifth film!

They had Gary for a visual effects enhanced scene where his face isn't even discernable in GOF..why won't they have him back for OOTP? He's pivotal here! It's just dumb to have someone new for just this movie.

I hope he does because he is Sirius Black and no one else could ever be that character and portray it as good as him, well not now any way!

Why do they keep doing this to us?
Aren't we supposed to trust what the studio tells us? They need to get on the ball and get him signed!

Is he holding out for more money or a better contract? Or is the studio being stingy again?

I think this just comes down to a matter of technicalities...legal or business stuff...I don't think we really have anything to worry about...I think Mr. Oldman will end up reprising his role as Sirius...

Pretty sad. If a mess up in negotiations this is very bad tactics. I am still hopeful and feel it is likely that we will see him return. It would be great.

If Gary ends up not joining the cast, I think I will be very disinterested in the movie. It just seems really pointless to start a movie series without having the most important characters played by the same actors throughout. Obviously things come up and it's not always possible to get the same people back each time, but for as many people as the studio will tick off if they don't get Gary (and David) back, I would think they'd be WAYYYY more careful about what information they release.
Very sad until Gary signs.....
