Only in a surreal land called Sundance can you chat up Colin Farrell twice in less than 24 hours. Thursday night I caught up with him at the premiere of the Sundance opener, “In Bruges,” and today I sat down with the Irish lad along with his jolly co-star Brendan Gleeson. These two were a riot.

Watch below as…
–Brendan zones out on my first question
–Colin explains why he likes little people
–The two share a laugh over profanity
–And the two talk ‘Harry Potter’ to boot!

We got a chance to chat a bit with character actor extraordinaire Brendan Gleeson tonight at Sundance, and sure we wanted to talk about his opening night film, “In Bruges.” But come on, there was Harry Potter to discuss too!Gleeson seemed satisfied with the fate of his character outlined in the last “Potter” book and is also apparently quite proud to this day of his broomstick. He also seemed to think there was more to Mad-Eye Moody’s fate than met the eye. Check it all out below.

Somebody at Warner Brothers please get on the phone with this guy. Just two months after talking “Harry Potter” with MTV News from Budapest, director Guillermo del Toro was back stateside making another pitch to helm the series seventh installment, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

“I’m definitely interested,” he insisted, “now that the movies have grown darker. They have a contrast between the gloomy existence of the kid and the world he’s exposed to. They have evolved into a really nice universe.”

The deathstick, a wand of destiny which makes its bearer unbeatable. A resurrection stone which enables the one who wields it to visit with the dead. A trip to the afterlife and a final duel which makes “Return of the Jedi: look like kindergarten cops and robbers. Indeed, given all the new elements of the “Harry Potter” universe introduced in “Hallows,” there’s little doubt that it would be right in del Toro’s wheelhouse – especially after the visionary “Pan’s Labyrinth” cemented him as the master of fairy-tales that cross over from children to adults.

After reading the seventh novel himself, del Toro can’t help but nod his head in agreement.

“I got [’Deathly Hallows’] for my daughter and she was like ‘When are you going to give it to me?’” he smiled. “I read it and I was very moved by the ending. It ends very much like a Dickens novel.”

So what’s the hold-up, Warner Bros? Can we make this happen or what? Do you think del Toro would make the perfect director for “Hallows”? Sound off below.
