WB's 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' original script by J.K. Rowling

[DarkSovereignty]

Too bad Harry Potter won't be in it.

 

[Octoberist]

It'll be interesting to see New York in the roaring 20's though. And America in general.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Yeah I'm actually really excited for this.

 

[Airwings]

What about people who want Brad Bird to helm every superhero film (he's always suggested)? Or those who desperately promoted Aaron Paul for The Flash (he was never considered)?

My fan casts is nothing different.

Don't shy away from this discussion only to bring it up at another point, Octoberist.

Liam Aiken is no less worth just because nobody else wants him.

Now I don't want people nag Airwings, because that's the only thing that bothers me about his comments. He's often charming to me, and harmless.

It's that his habit is completely self-inflecting. And often it creates one sided conversations, so no one can create a rapport with him. It's almost impossible. So he adds nothing to the threads by his fan castings topics. Nothing at all.

If I make meaningless posts, then so can be said about several others.
I'm the only one who people are constantly attacking, though. They just can't accept that my opinions are different from most of them. I'm like the black sheep here

Has Airwings started pushing David Gallagher yet?

Since you brought him up, I'm honest when I say that, even if Gallagher wasn't anyone that I got to think of for a role, I rather see him in this film than Michael Cera.
And THAT one is something to complain over. In shortlists and similar, the strangest people seem to appear. The ones that should be there are being ignored. Not just for this film but many.
And this is something none of you reflects over.

 

[Sawyer]

Octoberist didn't shy away from it, I actively steered the thread in another, better direction. Keep up.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

You know, I was excited for this movie, but I just can't help but be bothered by the producers' blatant bias against Liam Aiken.

 

[Marvolo]

Josh Gad and Michael Cera... WB you continue to disappoint me with this film. I should have known setting this in America would mean this sort of cast.

By the way, who the actual **** is Liam Aiken? Is he Clay Aiken's less successful cousin?

 

[Sawyer]

Josh Gad and Michael Cera... WB you continue to disappoint me with this film. I should have known setting this in America would mean this sort of cast.

 

[Marvolo]

Hold me, Sawyer.

 

[Sawyer]

Hold me, Sawyer.

I mean, I can't imagine either of them would be great in this, but mind you, they read Kate Upton for a role and we ended up with Katherine Waterston instead, so who knows how this will go?

Good point. One bit of news that I hope does pan out is them eyeing Ezra Miller. I wouldnt mind him getting a role.

It... only just occurred to me that I never actually saw a Harry Potter movie in the theatres. Hell, I've still only seen bits and pieces of DH1 and DH2.

If this ends up being good (fingers crossed) I might change that.

 

[Micromind]

I saw first 5 Harry Potter movies on DVD, then saw the last three (Half Blood Prince, DH 1 & 2) in theaters as I had read the last book.

 

[Marvolo]

I saw them all in theaters. I was 11 when Philosopher's Stone came out and it blew my young mind. I was hooked, and still to this day I am absolutely in love with the wizarding world that JK Rowling created. I just wish the films had captured even 1/10th of the quirkiness and character of JK Rowling's world.

Newell and Yates having the Wizards dress in perfect muggle attire was lazy. Older wizards suck at dressing in muggle attire. They have no clue about modern muggle fashion because wizard attire stopped keeping up with muggle fashion trends around the 18th century. At one point in GOF an older wizard is overheard arguing with a Ministry Official who is trying to get the old man to put on some muggle men's trousers so he will blend in. The old man insists on wearing a muggle women's dress because he likes "a healthy breeze around his privates." He didn't even know the dress was meant for muggle women until the ministry official told him. Wizards don't wear muggle suits to work. They wear different colored robes and cloaks - emerald, sapphire, ruby etc. Fudge for instance at various times wears pointed purple boots, a lime green bowler hat, a bottle-green suit. Dumbledore wears various colored cloaks with deep colors. Not those drab raggedy things he wears in POA-DH. None of the directors ( well except maybe Columbus and Cuaron) seemed to grasp just how vibrant strange quirky and bizarre the wizarding world is meant to be. It's a whole different world and culture that exists right under muggle noses. Yates even managed to suck all the character and color and quirkiness out of Hogwarts. He started it with OOTP and by DH Part 2 the portraits are gone, and it's just blank stone walls. In the books the castle is full of portraits and suits of armor that can laugh at students and do other stuff. Yates included the suits of armor in DH2, but, hell, he even made those blank cream colored stone.

Uggh, Ill stop before I get too carried away. I still enjoy the films, but a lot of life and character was lost in the later film adaptations.

 

[titansupes]

^ I totally agree with all that.

Alison Sudol of Transparent fame joining the cast as Queenie.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

She is definitely cute. Though she is a lot older then I thought they were going.

 

[Sawyer]

Well she is four years younger than Waterston, so there's that.

But four years age difference never really reads as an age difference at all on screen.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

so who are the characters in this movie aside from Newt? Like do we know who queenie is supposed to be?

 

[Boy Scout]

I saw them all in theaters.

I saw them all of the movies in theaters except for PS/SS and DH2.

Amen. Most of them are okay as movies, but as adaptations of the books, they left a lot to be desired.

THANK YOU. I ****ing hated that.

I want to make love to this post. Sweet, passionate, magical love.
