>hired an 80 year old to play a role in a series that'll take around 15 years to finishWasn't a very smart choice, was it?
>>222820212Warner Brothers isn't known for smart choices.
>>222820212Maybe they already shot all his scenes and want to green screen nu harry and the rest into them.>>222820255An even stupider decision when the show is cancelled three seasons in.
>>222820212GoshImagine if they had to recast DumbledoreHow would a series ever be able to pull that off?
Richard Harris clocked out after two movies.
>>222820212To be fair, once he kicks the bucket AI will have come far enough for them to shit out however many seasons they want.
>>222820212They could film all his scenes first?
>>222820298>>222820300Richard Harris died at 72. He'll have been 9 years younger at death than Lithgow is when the first episode airs.
>>222820212I assume they're thinking they can just replace him if he dies like they did with Richard Harris but by doing so you're also assuming the actor doesn't die during filming leaving you facing the prospect of having to delay while you re-cast then re-film everything they shot. Dumb.
Whites all look the same
Pro-tip: they're counting on it. Free publicity.
