He had been developing a version of Evelyn Waugh's novel, Brideshead Revisited in 2004 for the studio's art house division, Warner Independent Pictures, with husband-and-wife actors Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connolly negotiating to play the leads, but after finally landing the highly coveted "Potter" job and with budget issues stalling "Brideshead," Yates transitioned into his new assignment.
Harvey, Dennis (18 July 2008). "Variety Reviews: Brideshead Revisited". Variety. Archived from the original on 7 November 2012. Retrieved 4 March 2011. Reportedly, Paul Bettany, Jude Law and Jennifer Connelly were attached until helmer David Yates was poached for last year's 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.'
