Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - Official Comic-Con Trailer & Johnny Depp's Surprise Appearance as Grindwelwald



Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald - Official Comic-Con Trailer


Crimes Of Grindelwald - Fantastic Beasts Full Trailer Comic Con 2018



Published on Jul 21, 2018


Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) Casts Spell on Hall H SDCC Comic-Con 2018 Fantastic Beasts


  


Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is the second of five all new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World™. At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.

In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

The film features an ensemble cast led by Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, with Jude Law and Johnny Depp. The cast also includes, Zoë Kravitz, Callum Turner, Claudia Kim, William Nadylam, Kevin Guthrie, Carmen Ejogo, and Poppy Corby-Tuech. “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is directed by David Yates, from a screenplay by J.K. Rowling.

The film is produced by David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram. Slated for release on November 16, 2018, the film will be distributed worldwide in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.






Everything we noticed from the Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Comic-Con trailer

The Pottermore News Team

Saturday 21st July 2018



The Elder Wand! A familiar mirror! Mini-Newt! More Hogwarts! The new Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald trailer, which debuted at San Diego Comic-Con today, is chock-full of wizarding treats. Here’s a few that we found particularly enchanting.
Oh, but watch the trailer first, obviously.


The trailer begins with a flashback to Newt’s Hogwarts days (where we learn he has been rocking that curly mop hairstyle since his teens) and see him being taught to tackle a Boggart by... Jude Law’s Albus Dumbledore! How intriguing. In the Harry Potter books, we know that Albus Dumbledore used to teach Transfiguration – now we see him teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts. Was he subbing in? In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jude Law says Dumbledore wasn’t teaching Transfiguration ‘at this stage’. We know Dumbledore is a multi-talented guy (check his various accolades) so he probably did both.
The flashback reveals that Newt’s Boggart (a creature that transforms into whatever the witch or wizard fears the most) is not a Mummy, or a Banshee, or anything horrible and scaly, but a simple writing desk. It turns out Newt’s greatest fear is... gasp! Working in an office!


MACUSA officials float a bedraggled Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) through what appears to be a cell block in MACUSA’s prison.
However, based on what we see later on in the trailer, his incarceration clearly doesn’t last very long…

‘Magic blooms only in rare souls. Still, we must skulk in the shadows. But the old ways serve us no longer.’
A definitely-not-locked-up-anymore Grindelwald (with shorter hair, this time) delivers a grand speech to who are presumably his followers. The speech touches on the themes we saw in the first Fantastic Beasts film – with American wizards living in hiding from No-Majs: enforcing stricter rules than we’ve seen in wizarding Europe. Grindelwald tells his crowd that those ways ‘serve us no longer’ – which surely must mean one thing: a rebellion.

Dumbledore’s voice explains that Grindelwald had a vision that he would rise to dominance in the wizarding world. Much like how Voldemort was guided by a Prophecy, it seems Grindelwald is also haunted by future events yet-to-come. We can also glimpse a moment in the trailer where Grindelwald sees a golden ghostly form of Credence… Does Credence have something to do with it?

Actress Claudia Kim plays a character only known as ‘the Maledictus’ (which means someone carrying a ‘blood curse’) and seems to be connected to Credence somehow. In this trailer, we seem them strolling along looking shady, at any rate. Let’s also bear in mind that Credence is seen looking at circus posters, and we already know that the Maledictus is one of the circus’s big attractions.

It wouldn’t be a Fantastic Beasts movie without some fantastic beasts – and a couple of new ones are introduced to us here. First, we see some big cat-like animals with giant blue, fluorescent eyes that don’t seem to fit a description from our Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them textbooks. We also see a giant inquisitive bird-like animal eyeing up Jacob, and a giant hairy behemoth giving Newt, of all people, a fright. Any budding Magizoologists out there know what these could be?

Another new, nifty bit of magic we haven’t seen before: a disembodied gloved hand pointing at St Paul’s Cathedral. We’re guessing it’s not recommending a bit of sight-seeing. When Newt grabs it, it actually takes him to Dumbledore, like a Portkey or Apparating or somewhere in between. We’ve got to hand it to Dumbledore – that’s some very cool magic.

Well, that is definitely not a pair of thick, woollen socks. One stand-out scene in the trailer shows us Dumbledore looking into a rather grand-looking mirror. On closer inspection, we see this simply must be the Mirror of Erised - the enchanted mirror that Harry discovers in his first year of Hogwarts. The Mirror famously shows the subject what they desire most, and Dumbledore once told Harry that grown men had gone mad trying to seek the enchanted glass’s contents.
When Harry asked an older Dumbledore what he saw in the mirror in Philosopher’s Stone, the kindly headmaster claimed it was simply a pair of socks. In Deathly Hallows, Harry realises Dumbledore must have seen his late family, in the same way he did. However, in the mirror in this scene, it is Dumbledore’s old friend Grindelwald that looms behind him.

When the first trailer came out we panicked due to the lack of Nifflers. Where are the Nifflers, we cried in despair. Thankfully we are thrilled to report that Newt’s mischievous long-snouted, gold-grabbing friend is back once again in this trailer – popping out of Newt’s case, sniffing around Paris. We’re sure there’s lots of lovely, shiny Parisian jewellery to be found, little friend.

Zoë Kravitz, portraying Leta Lestrange, finally speaks in the new trailer – mournfully telling Newt ‘he never met a monster he couldn’t love’. Hagrid, much? So, is Leta talking about herself or one of Newt’s fantastic beasts here? Either way, as certified nosy parkers, we are very much looking forward to finding out more about Leta and whether she is one of the bad guys, the good guys, or somewhere in the middle…
And bearing that question in mind, we do see Leta working alongside Tina and Newt in this action sequence together. Despite the other Lestranges we know about, maybe Leta isn’t so bad after all?

We already know of Ezra Miller’s return to the franchise, despite his ambiguous ending in the first Fantastic Beasts film. But not only is Credence in this film – definitely not dead – he’s more powerful and seething with rage. Or is that desperation? Credence is clearly learning to harness his intense powers… as we’ve seen in the previous trailer he seems to be able to control his Obscurus now. And although Credence seems to be in a bad way, we are glad that the charismatic Ezra is back for more magical larks.
Newt, alongside his brother, Theseus, face Grindelwald in a fiery showdown. Behind Grindelwald is a character we know is called Vinda Rosier (we see her standing with him quite a few times, actually...) holding a glowing, golden orb-like object. We’ll take a wild guess that’s not some sort of premium version of a Remembrall...
We’ve seen the Deathly Hallows symbol pop up quite a lot in Fantastic Beasts so far – as a necklace, creeping up in film posters, the screenplay, etc. In the trailer, we see embers of it dissipate in a puff of smoke. But why, exactly? We certainly know of Grindelwald’s obsession with the Deathly Hallows, an obsession he once shared with Dumbledore. And we definitely know that at least one Deathly Hallow features in the film because…

Well, that settles that. The Elder Wand, one of the three Deathly Hallows, is definitely in Grindelwald’s possession during the events of this movie. There is simply no mistaking its recognisable berry-esque carvings that we remember oh-so-well from the Harry Potter films.
As far as we know, the next person to take the wand was Dumbledore after their famous 1945 duel. The Crimes of Grindelwald is set in the 1920s so... blimey, does that mean Grindelwald owns the wand for at least two decades? That doesn’t sound like a fun two decades, if so.


Just when we think the trailer is over – we get a pretty incredible surprise right after the end-titles – it’s only world-famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel, creator of the Philosopher’s Stone! Flamel, played by Brontis Jodorowsky, is rather understandably confused for a ghost by poor, perplexed Jacob (imagine what it’ll be like when Jacob meets an actual ghost) and the pair have a fabulously awkward, creaky handshake. Well, Nicolas is getting on a bit…
‘The fate of one, the future of all.’
These enigmatic words are emblazoned across the trailer throughout – and of course we’re now wondering who ‘the one’ is. Is it Grindelwald, with his vision? Is it Newt? Is it Dumbledore? Is it the Niffler?! Okay, maybe not him. But we’re not ruling anybody out here!
Hopefully, all of our questions will be answered upon the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, coming out 16 November.

OSCAR NOMINATIONS 2015


Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel lead 2015 Oscar nominations with nine nods each... while The Imitation Game gets eight 

Courtesy of http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2910567/Birdman-Grand-Budapest-Hotel-lead-2015-Oscar-nominations-nine-nods-Imitation-Game-gets-eight.html

  • Clint Eastwood's American Sniper lands six nods including best actor for Bradley Cooper
  • There was not a single person of colour nominated in the acting or directing categories 
  • Cake's Jennifer Aniston and Big Eyes star Amy Adams both snubbed
  • Angelina Jolie's WWII epic Unbroken also overlooked  


Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel tied for the most Oscar nominations Thursday morning with nine nods each, including best picture.
They were joined in best-picture nominations by Boyhood, Whiplash, The Theory of Everything, The Imitation Game, American Sniper and Selma.
Nominations for the 87th annual Academy Awards were announced from Beverly Hills, where they were broadcast and streamed live.



The Imitation Game trailed close behind with eight nominations. 

Clint Eastwood's Navy SEAL drama American Sniper did especially well, landing six nods including best actor for Bradley Cooper. 
Angelina Jolie's WWII epic Unbroken was not recognized, and other snubs included Jennifer Aniston for Cake and Amy Adams for Big Eyes.  

Also with six nominations was Richard Linklater's coming-of-age epic 'Boyhood,' which remains the best-picture favorite. On Sunday, it won best drama at the Golden Globes.
But Wes Anderson's old Europe caper 'The Grand Budapest Hotel,' which also won best comedy or musical at the Globes, has emerged as the most unexpected awards heavyweight.

With $59.1 million at the North American box office (opening all the way back in March), it's also the most money-making best-picture entry. 
That, however, is likely to change soon after 'American Sniper' expands nationwide this weekend.
The eight best-picture nominees left out two wild cards that might have added a dose of darkness to the category: the creepy Jake Gyllenhaal thriller Nightcrawler and the tragic wrestling drama Foxcatcher. 


In the three previous years since the category was expanded (anywhere between five and 10 film may be nominated), there were nine movies contending for best picture.
The nominees for best actor are: Cooper, Steve Carell (Foxcatcher), Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game), Michael Keaton (Birdman) and Eddie Redmayne. 
David Oweloyo, who stars as Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, was left out.


There was not a single person of colour nominated in the acting or directing categories.  
Marion Cotillard for the French-language Two Days, One Night was the surprise nominee for best actress. She was joined by Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Julianne Moore (Still Alice), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and Reese Witherspoon (Wild).

The nominees for best supporting actor are: Robert Duvall, The Judge; Edward Norton, Birdman; Mark Ruffalo, Foxcatcher; Ethan Hawke, Boyhood; and J.K. Simmons, Whiplash.
The nominees announced Thursday morning are: Patricia Arquette, Boyhood; Laura Dern, Wild; Keira Knightley, The Imitation Game; Emma Stone, Birdman; and Meryl Streep, Into the Woods.



This year's modestly sized but much-beloved favorites - Boyhood, Birdman - have been largely locked in place throughout much of the ever-expanding industrial complex of Hollywood's lengthy awards season, where statuette-hunting campaigns span months and are feverishly chewed over by Oscar prognosticators. 
As studios have focused more and more on easily marketed blockbusters, Oscar season increasingly exists apart from the regular business of the movies, in its own highfalutin, red-carpeted realm.
Ratings are on the rise. Last year's Oscars, hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, drew 43 million viewers, making it the most-watched entertainment telecast in a decade. 12 Years a Slave took best picture. 
This year's ceremony on Feb. 22 will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris.
