David Yates just puts random parts from the book into the film and hopes it works. The Yates films have some of the most unimaginative camerawork I\’ve ever seen in a fantasy film.

I thought that this story would be told in The Untouchables: Capone Rising.

Having presumably seen the last of Harry Potter, David Yates – probably one of the best *young* directors we have in the industry today, on both sides of the Atlantic – is now hotly-tipped to direct a biopic about the infamous organised crime boss, Al Capone.

In hailing this decision, perhaps it\’s not inappropriate to parody the prophetic words of another pre-war icon and yet another Warner Bros blue-chip property – that of Al Jolson, the world\’s greatest entertainer, who actually did command performances for Capone and his entourage – and say of David Yates\’s spell-binding WB career, so far: *Folks, you ain\’t seen nuttin\’ yet !*

Sounds good. Yates is pretty underrated in my opinion, doing some great work with the material he\’s been given. Also, his TV projects, Girl in the Cafe and State of Play, are aces.
