‘Fantastic Beasts’ Was Originally Considered as a Documentary-Style Film!!

It’s no secret that when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 closed out the Harry Potter film franchise, Warner Bros. was still considering different ways of keeping the brand alive. After all, the Harry Potter franchise as a whole grossed over $8 billion, and the ancillary revenue stream alone is worth keeping alive.

‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequel Takes the Story in a “New Direction”; Script Already Written!!

I am incredibly excited for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, as I imagine most other Harry Potter fans are as well. Warner Bros. was always going to continue the Potter franchise in some way after Deathly Hallows, so it’s great to know that the series remains in the hands of its creator—J.K. Rowling—and isn’t some simple cash-grab on which Rowling carries some meaningless “Executive Producer” title. Instead, when Warner … Continue reading ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Sequel Takes the Story in a “New Direction”; Script Already Written!!

Speaking with EW for his new movie The Trust, … Continue reading ‘National Treasure 3’: Nic Cage Says the Writers Are Still Fact-Checking!!

Michael Mann Developing ‘Heat’ Prequel as Both Book and Film Adaption!!

It’s always a plus when an author’s work gets picked up for a feature film adaptation (i.e. some major dollars and cents). Some writers, like Twilight author Stephenie Meyer, even pen novels with footage of how they may look on a screen playing in their heads. For Michael Mann, it looks like his main goal is to produce books with the soul intention of them … Continue reading Michael Mann Developing ‘Heat’ Prequel as Both Book and Film Adaption!!
