I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS I AM LITERALLY DYING OF ANTICIPATION :omgomg::omgomg::omgomg:

[Sephex]

Geez man, just google it or something. Turn on safe search if you are that worried about it.

[Freya]

I got really excited when I saw this morning. 2016 is going to be an amazing year for movies!

[Araciel]

Eh 2 minutes to show 20 seconds of basically nothing. weak.

[Depression Moon]

Sephex did you post in the wrong thread?

As for the tease, it was a tease all right. Not a single monster in it, but we know the premise of this which sounds like it was changed. I'm okay with the change though. Surprised to see a black woman heading the US Ministry of Magic in the 20s. Good stuff.

Well like I say, it's not out for almost a year, would you rather they gave away the whole film at this point?

[charliepanayi]

They've already announced a sequel!

They've already announced a sequel!

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Put them Now We've Found Them

[Fynn]

I think it was actually some time ago now that they announced this would be a trilogy

[Shauna]

Yeah, it's been knowledge for a while that it's a trilogy of flicks.

The release is coming soon, I guess! Better read Cursed Child to tide us over.

Final trailer:

[Rocket Edge]

Trailer looks good. I dunno what it is about Redmayne, but I don't find him likable. Maybe it's the whole 'tiny tim' persona he tries to give off.

[Bubba]

Nice to see Red XIII make an appearance at 0:55

Also, I definitely heard Grindlewald's name mentioned. I could die happy if we got to see Dumbledore defeat Grindlewald on film!

[Del Murder]

This may be the easiest movie title ever to make into a porno.

[charliepanayi]

They've cast Johnny Depp in the sequel.

[Night Fury]

Really reallly really enjoyed this! Just caught it today!

[Fynn]

Can't wait to see this!

[Freya]

Going to see it in IMAX today.



Wow, I did not expect them to show Grindelwald like that. I mean I kinda got a feeling that it Graves was him with the way they framed the shot when he was introduced vs the shot showing Gellert in the beginning. I thought maybe though he was just a lackey of his. Since the casting of Johnny Depp was just announced for FUTURE entries and I had heard that is who he'd be playing. But I didn't think he would already be in it! Wow!

Now the actual movie. I was very impressed and engaged with the whole thing. I enjoyed the more adult take on the wizarding world. I loved the No-Maj guy :3 he was cute. It was great to see magical world in another country like that though. Such a treat! My mom and I, when he gave Credence the Deathly Hallows necklace we looked at each other and were like OMG THERE IT IS!

Wow, I was very impressed and it was super fun.

This shows me that the cursed child was so dumb and if there was going to be a sequel, she should have written it and not some randoms. Because she can do adult wizards well, Cursed Child did not do them well.

Basically, leave J.K. to write any additional things in this world. No one else.

[DMKA]

Saw it last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Despite my low expectations, it ended up being just as good as some of the Harry Potter films.

Interesting that they've planned four sequels, and Rowling herself is writing the screenplays. Everyone wants more Harry Potter. :p

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

Queenie ftw!

Haha! Because of Depp showing up, the ending really reminded me of the end of 21 Jump Street ahaha!

Rowling has come out and said that the story runs from 1926-1945 so the five films will run over that timeline. I had heard Dumbledore would appear in the next one, but maybe they're holding off until number 5.

Awwww Kowalski was my favourite character too followed in close second by Queenie. But to be honest, I loved all of the characters and I do wonder if Credence got away? It would be so tragic if he died. That said, how TERRIFYING was it when he killed the politician guy? I was SHOOK.

It was a really good movie, possibly one of my favourites this year. I can't wait to see it again to pick up anything I may have missed.

[Psychotic]

Just saw it and it was a lot of fun, I really had a blast!

Eddie Redmayne was channeling Matt Smith's Doctor something hardcore. Which is not a criticism.

[Night Fury]

I think that's just Redmayne being Redmayne tbh

[Shauna]

He really nailed being a socially awkward weirdo.

[Bubba]

Don't we all.

[Fynn]

Just saw this. It exceeded all of my expectations. One of the most satisfying movies ever. Jacob Kowalski is the best character in the entire Harry Potter universe and I love the weird sense Quewnie's infatuation with him makes.

[Bubba]

Managed to get a free evening for the first time in f***ing forever and went to watch this with MissH. I absolutely adored it. Maybe it was the old-style setting but I've never come out of a film (set in the HP world) that has left me so warm-hearted. I thought Eddie Redmayne played a great part but Jacob and Queenie stole the show. They were adorable.

It just goes to show that you don't need big name actors to make a great film. I didn't care for Colin Farrell at all and I can't stand Johnny Depp as Grindelwald.

Night Fury mentioned that the trilogy will end in 1945 so it's clearly going to end with the great battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Only, they've gone and ruined it now because it will be Dumbledore against Johnny Depp. Terrible casting.

[Freya]

TRILOGY? I thought it was going to be like 5 movies

[Bubba]

TRILOGY? I thought it was going to be like 5 movies

Oh, I don't know. Fynn and Shauna said earlier in the thread that it was a trilogy. I'm all in favour of five films though!

[Fynn]

Idk, I liked both Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp in this

[Shauna]

It was originally a trilogy, but then it was dropped earlier this year that it was gonna be 5 movies.

[charliepanayi]

Apparently Jude Law will be playing Dumbledore in the next film

[Freya]

WHAT

[Shauna]

Weird

[Freya]

Now that I've had time to mull it over, this doesn't seem like a bad pick. I kinda wish they'll keep ferrel though. I think his dynamic with Law would be great.

[Del Murder]

Yeah Depp for Farrel was a downgrade tbh. Farrel was great in this movie. Presumably Farrel's character is still alive since Grindlewald would need live DNA to keep up his polyjuice potion? So maybe he will return as himself a la Mad-eye Moody?
