Newt Scamander and Porpentina...Porpentina...Porpen...tina...

Why not just call her...

?

 

[mclay18]

I wonder if J.K. Rowling will write a book of her Fantastic Beasts screenplay. Some authors have done that.

Wonder if this is going to have a presence at SDCC.

Isn't this coming out in November 2016? It'd be a bit early to have a presence at this year's SDCC. There isn't really anything for them to present at this point.

Ezra Miller circles HarryPotter spinoff "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" http://variety.com/2015/film/news/ezra-miller-eyes-harry-potter-spinoff-fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them-exclusive-1201527280/ …

Already a part of Warner Bros.’ DC universe as the Flash, Ezra Miller looks to have found his way into the studio’s other major franchise for the foreseeable future.


Sources tell Variety that Miller is in early talks for the role of Kredan in Warner Bros.’ upcoming “Harry Potter” spin-off, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” starring Eddie Redmayne.


It is unknown how close talks are on closing a deal but sources add that for weeks Miller has always been the favorite and in the last week as emerged as the choice for the role.

Ezra, getting those WB franchises.

Sources tell Variety Alison Sudol is Yates’ choice for the role of Queenie, though insiders add no actor has been cast and no offer has been given for that role and that the studio may still be considering an actress that’s more established. As for Jacob, sources say Josh Gad and Michael Cera are meeting next week to see who will take the role of Scamander’s rival.

hmmmmm.

Nice, I hate Josh Gad though, I'd take Cera in a heart beat over him.

 

[terry78]

Gad is awesome, bro. He's ****ing Lefou.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I like the Ezra Miller news.

 

[Airwings]

I hold Ezra Miller very high. He's an amazing actor. However, I want Liam Aiken more for a role in this. Be it Jacob, or Kredan, or some other supporting character.

Michael Cera? It will be a joke if he got the role over Aiken.
But as we have learned during the past months: acting talent is only 7 % of the casting process.

 

[Octoberist]

..Okay dude. Liam Akien was NEVER in the running for this role, or any role, for this movie so I don't know why you put so much stock into his chances.

If there was a solid rumor of him being in the rumor, or general musings that went viral, then sure then you have weight. But here, it's completely a figment of your desire and imagination.

 

[Airwings]

Octoberist: He's a better actor than Michael Cera. What's more to be said?

Don't you like people who fan cast or what?

 

[Eddie Dean]

Airwings obsession with certain young actors has always creeped me out a little.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

And it's always the most random people for the most random of roles.

It's not that you want this actor for the movie that bothers me but...

It's because you ALSO get disappointed by your own arbitrary fan casting... which is BONKERS. This is a fact, not an opinion. It's like a weight-less self-fulfilling prophecy that you through many a-times by creating this self-creating hype for no reason.

Image if I, on a whim, randomly wanted Brandon Routh to be in a future Star Wars film (in any role, doesn't matter) and get constantly heart broken when he doesn't get cast in any of them. I would look like (lack for a better word) a nut job.

Guys, put me on ignore or discuss like adults.
Aiken is a serious wish of mine. Respect that!

 

[DarkSovereignty]

Great, now I'm gonna never gonna like a Star Wars movie again because it doesn't have Brandon routh in it. Even the old ones.

 

[Pickleweasel]

Has Airwings started pushing David Gallagher yet?

It's part of the game to become disappointed with how the studios cast.
But it will never stop me from wanting fav actors to get roles.
Once in a while, it turns out good. Like how Tom Holland won the Spider-Man role over kids like Plummer and Lintz.

 

[Octoberist]

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.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

That guy from that thing should be in this. I will be most cross if he isn't.

Another thing: You have mentioned how the other actors 'steal' roles from the actors that you would randomly picked. And then you whine about it. For no reason.

Tom Holland was actually in the running, and has been documented in the trades for weeks. Dudes like Liam Aiken was never in the running for movies like Fantastic Beasts. There's a difference between the two.

I like Tom Hardy but I'm not gonna go 'Damn he wasn't cast in 'Civil War. Martin Freeman stole his spot (even though I don't know what the role is).' Again that would make look like a crazy person.

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.

 

[Sawyer]

........ so, about that Harry Potter spin-off.

 

[Octoberist]

Yes Harry Pot!
