The development & planning phase
Before a film can get started, it needs to go through the “development” phase. This phase includes the creation, writing, organizing and planning of a film project. The budget must be set, cast goes through auditions, the location is decided, and multiple scripts are written. Many times, writers and directors create storyboards to entice producers to finance the film.
When in development, a film has the prospect of being made, but nothing is certain. There’s no guarantee that a film’s development period won’t be prolonged, often resulting in the project’s cancellation. Throughout this process, there are many paths that can propel the project forward but ultimately the most important piece to getting a film made is the financing. A producer needs to be able to line up investors to finance the film, or else it is unlikely the film will be made. Depending on the type of film that is making and who gets involved, development can last anywhere from a few months to a few years.
This would mean that when Harry Potter was in development, its major cast was in nursery school?
