graceful and intelligent hand and we believe Bill Condon is exactly
the right steward, having shown equal and abundant talents of immense

with us. I think he’s going to be a great fit, and I’m excited to see
what he does with the material.

“I’m very excited to get the chance to bring the climax of this saga
to life on-screen. As fans of the series know, this is a one-of-a-kind
book – and we’re hoping to create an equally unique cinematic
experience,” said Bill Condon.
