	Mike Newell (director) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Newell continued his successes in the film industry with Enchanted April (1992), an adaptation of the 1922 novel The Enchanted April; Miranda Richardson received a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical and Joan Plowright won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy/Musical.

	Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Mike Newell Director (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Generally shunned as a redheaded stepson to film, Newell considers television a key component in the scheme of the entertainment industry, claiming that his work at Granada Television fuelled his versatility by allowing him the room for experimentation that the non-existent British film industry of the late '60s and early '70s couldn't provide.
		In 1999, Newell spun a tale of dysfunctional air-traffic controllers with Pushing Tin, "a movie about people crashes, not plane crashes." Last year he helmed what was to be the last significant role for Julia Roberts on film, Mona Lisa Smile, followed by his own ‘awfully big adventure, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
		Mike Newell: Well, I mean that would depend on a comparison and I don’t know that I’m the man to make that comparison, but I would have thought logically, yes, absolutely - how could it avoid being very different.

	Britmovie - Mike Newell Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		British director whose wide-ranging output often centres on enclosed worlds and cold-hearted protagonists - although few of his films contain characters that are without a charm, and he has coaxed some remarkably charismatic performances from leading actors in his time.
		Newell's The Man in the Iron Mask, made for American TV but shown in cinemas elsewhere in the world, was a much more stylish and fluent version of the old Dumas chestnut than either of the two more recent films.
		If what Newell's career needed at this stage was a high-profile hit, it certainly received one with Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), a record-breaking comedy with some richly funny lines.
