“It’s unfortunate, what happened. I certainly do not agree with what she is talking about. But it’s just sad, it’s very sad,” added the director.
Although the next series was presented as a “faithful adaptation” of fantastic novels, Chris admitted that the original films did not completely adapt the books.
He explained: “The great thing on this subject is that with the first and the second and the third book, we wanted to do everything. We wanted to bring it all to the screen, and we did not have the opportunity,” adding “, a television program offers the opportunity to give life to all these scenes.”
