MOVIES: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - Will be a Trilogy

Mar 29, 2014

Share on Reddit
...That is when Warner announced that Ms. Rowling had agreed to adapt for the big screen her “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” a 2001 book billed as one of Harry Potter’s Hogwarts textbooks. Three megamovies are planned. The main character will be a “magizoologist” named Newt Scamander. The stories, neither prequels or sequels, will start in New York about seven decades before the arrival of Mr. Potter and his pals.

  1. My excitement for this series has kinda worn off to be honest.

  2. How do you turn a 64 page book into a trilogy of movies let alone just one movie?

  3. It's a story of his travels, I guess.

  4. Exactly, let alone doing a trilogy with none of the fan favorite characters.

  8. Each page features like 1-2 mythological creatures, so that's roughly 100 creatures. If he spends just 2 minutes with each creature mentioned in the book, that's a fairly average single movie length.

  9. Ok, so maybe there is enough for one movie, but three???

  10. Well he's obviously going to spend more than just 2 minutes with most creatures. I'd expect at least 5-10 minutes for most of the creatures, so that works out to somewhere between 8 and 17 hours once you've done the math. If the average movie is 2 hours long, that's enough time to fill up 3 movies and then some. And that's not counting all the scenes in which no creatures appear. So there's enough there to fill 3 movies without giving every creature 5-10 minutes of screen time.

  11. The lack of fan favorite characters doesn't really seem to be a problem to me. It's an adventure story that is brand new and features some guy encountering all sorts of mythological monsters and the troubles he gets into on his journeys. That premise doesn't even have to be Harry Potter related to get my interest.

    I'm still hoping the Buckbeak theory is true.

  13. "The stories, neither prequels or sequels, will start in New York about
    seven decades before the arrival of Mr. Potter and his pals."
    So its a Prequel...


    I'll watch it tho, since it will be way far off, and having to do with something else. And knowing there is always evil in the world no matter the time.



    Tho I still usually hate Spin-offs.

  14. The Writer is still alive, they can get lots of source material from her.

    Being a A level 5(Poke'Mon Levels) writer myself I feel a writer can give you plots for a trilogy from just a paragraph to a page worth of summary-description.

  15. Well technically it's not a prequel because the events in these movies don't necessarily have any connection to the Potter stories.

  16. I meant to the general audiences.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Its a prequel within the world. They say it's not a prequel yet they themselves plainly say 70 years before the arrival of Mr Potter...

  18. It could potentially be a prequel if the Buckbeak theory proves true.
