I don't know if anyone noticed, but IMDB updated their site for OOTP
and Gary Oldman is now listed as playing Sirius Black. Also, if you do
a search on Gary Oldman, now it shows that he's playing Black.

From IMDB (though is an older news)
The actor's manager, Douglas Urbanski, tells British newspaper The Sun,
"You will be shocked to learn there are no plans for Gary to appear in
the film. To say we are puzzled is an understatement at the very least!
We are left with no choice but to pursue other employment for him."
Vanessa Davis, spokeswoman for production company Warner Brothers,
confirms no deal has been reached, but insists there is still time to
resolve the confusion. She says, "With any film the priority is
confirming the cast who will be on the set from the outset."
This is from the manager's site:
Feb 20
"There are currently no plans for Gary Oldman to appear in the upcoming
Potter film. We confirm that no negotiations are taking place. We
confirm once again that Mr. Oldman is actively seeking other employment.
The public comments of the Potter producers are puzzling and also
misleading.
Today we take the further step of noting that it does not look likely
that Mr. Oldman will once again play the role of Sirius Black. For
reasons known only to the producers of the Potter film, Mr. Oldman has
not been engaged. As we approach the beginning of March we are in the
"window of commitments" wherein virtually any job accepted would render
Mr. Oldman unavailable for this film. The producers, we presume, are
well aware of how this all works. While one does not want to jump to
wrong conclusions, there is a growing sense that it was never the
intention for them to have Mr. Oldman return."
The same article says:
"The Reporter story today also indicated that Mr. Oldman is filming
David Fincher's "Zodiac." Mr. Oldman is not in the film "Zodiac" and
never was. It has been reported that he was playing the role of Melvin
Belli. He is not. The part is being played by the wonderful actor Brian
Cox."
....and, in IMDB is said he is in that part too.
Dunno, but all of this says 'not-enough-money' to me. Come on! It's Gary
Oldman! If he asks for a trailer made of daisies, you give it to him! If
Lindsey Lohan asked it, they'd give it to her.

I know....I've posted about this in the past re: the misinformation
coming from Mr. Urbanski. I've seen all the information that you wrote
above, but I thought it was interesting that IMDB just updated their
site about this. Maybe this means that an agreement's been reached!
(Hope!Hope!)

well, Mr. Oldman is known to be someone a wicked sense of humour, let's
hope this is just a joke...
(This is not funny, Gary! I am not laughing at all!)
