From Wizard News:

Ralph Fiennes on Lord Voldemort
Ralph Fiennes, who plays Voldemort in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, says he's committed to appear in Order of the Phoenix, which starts shooting in January. Of course, the question is whether Fiennes will stick around for the last movie, assuming that Voldemort will play an even bigger role in the finale.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I just finished reading GoF last week and... there was not that much Voldermort, at least less than what I expected. At least, we won't get to see Fiennes's actual face as such, as he'll probably be covered in layers of prosthetics. What a pity.

While we're on the subject of Fiennes, I just came across the trailer for his next movie, Constant Gardener. It looks rather good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I thought so too, Vonnie.

I think The Constant Gardener looks good too.

Yeah. Fiennes, back in Africa, all covered in dust and torment. Yumm.

Signed, still loves The English Patient to bits, despite the backlash.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It looks a little close to a sensitive First Worlder cliché to me. I'm thinking I'll try and find the book first.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I hadn't seen it since college, and remember being impressed with the way the film makes the romance and the sexual tension real between the "old" leads.

Also one of the most agonizing sword fights I've ever seen. Every move looked like it took monumental effort.

I ADORE that final swordfight.

It just looks so painful. Granted that is one movie that's not afraid to bring the pain.

Painful and tiring and all kinds of real stuff. It's wonderful that way.
