If Rowling is writing all of them, I'm all in too. I know she wrote this first and has already completed a first draft of the second film screenplay.Warner Bros. has apparently gone all in on J.K. Rowling‘s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise. It was announced during the upcoming film’s live event earlier today that the magical adventure debuting this November will be but the first in a total of five feature films.

I keep thinking Asa Butterfield has the talent to be a big star if he finds the right vehicle. This may be it.

Re: Film: Fantastic Beasts and where to find them
What an odd film.
This was like the third or fourth film in a franchise in terms of tone.
No big punches or grab factor you'd expect in the first from a franchise. It's not bad. But just weirdly paced and depends too much on gags and vague connections to potter universe to get by.
Weren't even any remarakable performances to elevate it. It was just meh. Watch it but don't expect much.

Re: Film: Fantastic Beasts and where to find them
I loved this movie. Had a blast. Great introduction to the new world/franchise. Cannot wait to see where they take this thing.

You should ABSOLUTELY see this. 100% yes.E.H. Ruddock wrote:According to dime it's anti black or Muslim or some shit. Should I see this? I like Potter movies and love Redmayne
I don't recall anything anti-black or Muslim about the movie. But if your'e a Redmayne fan, you have to see it. If you're a Potter fan, you'll enjoy it. This is right up your alley, Ruddo.
Redmayne is GREAT in this.

Re: Film: Fantastic Beasts and where to find them
It's especially worthwhile for fans of the books. The screenplay was written by Rowling and it shows. Her signature, her charm, her voice is all over this thing. I think it's probably the second strongest screenplay in the "Potter-verse" movies. And I'd absolutely put it in the top 5 (maybe top 3) of the Potter-verse films, too.
If you don't like Yates then I would lower your expectations. The writing is outstanding but it's still very much a Yates film. So, Len, you may not love it. But you should still see it because even if you don't think it's amazing, I'm guessing you'll find more than a few things to appreciate about the movie.

Re: Film: Fantastic Beasts and where to find them
The book this is "based" on isn't really a novel. So you can skip it. I just mean if you're a fan of Rowling's writing in general, you'll like this more than some of the other Potter films. She really put a lot of her style into the script.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:oh yeah i'm definitely going to see it...i enjoyed the trailer and expect it to be enjoyable overalldurdencommatyler wrote:It's especially worthwhile for fans of the books.
