Eddie Redmayne Cast As Newt Scamander In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20819:]]

The Harry Potter spinoff has found its lead as Eddie Redmayne has been cast as Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Warner Bros. president of creative development Greg Silverman confirmed the news stating Redmayne had “emerged as one of today’s most extraordinarily talented and acclaimed actors,” and that WB is “thrilled to welcome him into J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, where we know he will deliver a remarkable performance.”

Harry Potter author JK Rowling is writing the script, with David Ayer directing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

The film centers round Newt Scamander, a famed Magizoologist and author of the textbook used by students at Hogwarts, “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” that catalogs the magical creatures of the Harry Potter universe.

Previous details mentioned the movie takes place 70 years prior to the time of Harry Potter and is the first of a new trilogy.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will be released November 18, 2016.

Update: below is official announcement.

 

OSCAR WINNER EDDIE REDMAYNE ENTERS THE WIZARDING WORLD AS NEWT SCAMANDER IN “FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM”

Academy Award-winning actor Eddie Redmayne has been cast as Newt Scamander in Warner Bros. Pictures’ much-anticipated wizarding world adventure “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.”  The announcement was made today by Greg Silverman, President of Creative Development and Worldwide Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.
 
Redmayne will play J.K. Rowling’s creation Newt Scamander, the Wizarding World’s preeminent magizoologist, who in his travels has encountered and documented a myriad of magical creatures, ultimately leading to his penning the Hogwarts School textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.  
 
In making the announcement, Silverman said, “Eddie Redmayne has emerged as one of today’s most extraordinarily talented and acclaimed actors.  We are thrilled to welcome him into J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, where we know he will deliver a remarkable performance as Newt Scamander, the central character in ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.’”
Making her screenwriting debut on the film, J.K. Rowling has developed the character of Scamander and his primer—taken from her globally beloved Harry Potter series—to further explore the unique wizarding world she has crafted in print and bring it to life on screen.
 
David Yates, who directed the last four “Harry Potter” films and will direct “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” stated, “Eddie is a fearless actor, brimming with invention, wit and humanity.  I couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of working with him as we start this new adventure in J.K. Rowling’s wonderful world, and I know she feels the same way.”
 
The film is being produced by David Heyman, producer of all eight of the blockbuster “Harry Potter” features; J.K. Rowling; Steve Kloves, who scripted all but one of the “Harry Potter” films; and Lionel Wigram, who served as an executive producer on the last four installments of the franchise.
 
Eddie Redmayne won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in the 2014 biopic “The Theory of Everything.”  His stunning portrayal of Stephen Hawking in that film also brought him Screen Actors Guild, BAFTA and Golden Globe Awards.  In 2012, Redmayne starred as Marius in Tom Hooper’s screen adaptation of the hit musical “Les Misérables,” with Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe and Amanda Seyfried.  In 2010, Redmayne won a Tony Award for his performance in “Red,” which marked his Broadway debut.  On screen, he next stars in Hooper’s true-life drama “The Danish Girl,” due out this November.
 
Warner Bros. Pictures has slated “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” for worldwide release in 3D and IMAX on November 18, 2016.

David Ayer Says Suicide Squad Surprises Are Yet To Be Revealed

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20805:]]

Suicide Squad recently filmed in Toronto with a lot of set video and images hitting the net revealing some spoilers.

We’ve seen footage of Jared Leto’s Joker and Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn, in addition to Batman, some sort of creatures, Will Smith as Deadshot and rest of the Suicide Squad cast and characters.

At times it seemed there was so much leaking online that some fans were even complaining, but fear not as director David Ayer has taken to his Twitter to offer more Suicide Squad surprises are to come.

“Well we survived the streets. Time to go dark now,” Ayer tweeted, “Remember, only the tiniest glimpse has been exposed. Our surprises are intact.”

Regarding those surprises, we can try to guess/question what they are:

• The villain of the movie has yet to be revealed.

• How and why the Suicide Squad (with this particular group) form.

• Who is Scott Eastwood playing?

• Who is Ike Barinholtz playing?

• How Batman and Bruce Wayne fit into the movie.

• Will we see a different version of Jared Leto’s Joker as it’s speculated the tatted-up version is from a flashback scene?

• Will Jesse Eisenberg be featured as Lex Luthor?

• Will there be any more surprise DC characters showing up?

• Will this lead into another DC movie or Suicide Squad sequel?

• And we can guess the biggest surprises are to come with the answer to the quesion of: Who will survive the Suicide Squad?

“Suicide Squad” has an August 5, 2016 release date directed by David Ayer starring Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, Viola Davis as Amanda Waller, Adam Beach as Slipknot, Karen Fukuhara as Katana, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Killer Croc, Jay Hernandez as El Diablo, and Scott Eastwood in an unknown role.

Black Adam Easter Egg In Dwayne Johnson’s San Andreas

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20802:]]

Dwayne Johnson‘s latest action-packed blockbuster debuted this weekend with San Andreas, which looks to be the #1 movie at the box office.

Johnson will also be portraying the anti-hero/villain of the Shazam movie with Black Adam.

Now thanks to a reddit user, it’s become known San Andreas has a Black Adam Easter Egg.

Spoiler follows for San Andreas.

Johnon’s co-star in San Andreas, Alexandra Daddario, plays Blake and in once scene refers to Dwayne Johnson as “this generation’s Adam, but black.”

Obviously, it’s a reference to Johnson as Black Adam.

Who knows though, maybe it’s a hint that San Andreas director Brad Peyton will be reteaming with Dwayne Johnson on Shazam as well.

Shazam has a planned 2019 release date, but on more than one occasion, Dwayne Johnson has stated the movie will be released earlier; as of yet, no actor has been cast as Shazam.

(It probably should be noted San Andreas is a WB movie as well.)

Marvel May Decide On New Spider-Man Within A Week

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20800:]]

It’s being said the new Spider-Man may be chosen within a week.

THR offers an update on the Spider-Man casting, which offers that contrary to internet rumor, Asa Butterfield has not been cast or offered the role.

The report mentions six actors were flown into Atlanta, where Captain America: Civil War is filming, to test for the role with Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige present as well as Joe and Anthony Russo (directors on Cap 3) and Amy Pascal of Sony.

It’s said Tom Holland, Asa Butterfield, Judah Lewis, Matthew Lintz, Charlie Rowe and Charlie Plummer were the actors tested.

Apparently, the Atlanta test capped off a worldwide search in which Marvel and Sony execs looked at over 1,500 boys from around the world and narrowed them down to the final six only in the last two weeks or so.

It’s further said an inside source has cautioned there is a slim chance that Marvel won’t like any of their choices and could keep looking.

Of course, another possibility is that the new Spider-Man has already been cast and this is just more smoke and mirrors on the part of Marvel.

Aside from internet rumor, recent reports have made no mention of Dylan O’Brien or Logan Lerman for the role.

The new Spider-Man is said to be first appearing in Captain America: Civil War followed by a new 2017 standalone movie.

2016 Camaro Rumored For Batman Vs. Superman

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20796:]]

Could Lex Luthor be seen cruising down the street in a custom 2016 Chevy Camaro during Batman Vs. Superman?

Well, the rumor is the new Chevy Camaro may be appearing in the Zack Snyder movie.

USA Today, of all places, reports on the possibility as Chevy has filed a trademark for a “Camaro Krypton” and “Krypton” in addition to the car being built in Lansing, Michigan where Snyder filmed Batman Vs. Superman.

As of now, the rumor appears to be just that as the designer on the 2016 Camaro says it’s news to him.

“I think that’s just internet buzz, which is great,” Oppenheiser told the Detroit Free Press, a sister publication to USA Today. “It’s another thing about this segment of cars: there’s always internet buzz.” 

Oppenheimer continues with mention in which he may be attempting to steer (sorry, bad pun) people in the wrong direction.

“Sometimes when we come up with a new color in our studios, they just apply (for a trademark) in case we ever use it,” Oppenheiser said. “We never said we’re going to do anything with that color.” 

It’s possible the 2016 Chevy Camaro may be a product placement for the movie. Batman vs. Superman‘s predecessor, Man of Steel, revved up (sorry, another one) more than 100 contracts and an additional $160 million from corporate sponsors including Sears, Nokia, Wal-Mart and more.

As Kyrypton is the home planet of Superman – and also a reference to Kryptonite – perhaps if not Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne might be driving the custom Camaro Krypon? Or maybe even Clark Kent?

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” has a March 25, 2016 release starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Ray Fisher as Cyborg with Callan Mulvey, Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto in new character roles for the film. Justice League is to follow directed by Zack Snyder as well.

Disney Cancels Tron 3

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20794:]]

In a surprising move, Disney has decided not to move forward with Tron 3.

Garett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde and director Joseph Kosinski were all set to return for the third installment, said to be titled “Tron: Ascension,” which was to begin filming this Fall in Vancouver.

According to THR, Tron 3 was not officially greenlit (which seems odd as Olivia Wilde recently spoke about the movie offering her character was going to be put in the real world).

The report mentions no specific reason why Tron 3 was cancelled, but the report and various Hollywood trade sites are suggesting Tron 3 may not be moving forward because of the underperformance of Tomorrowland in addition to Tron: Legacy not being a big merchandise seller. Instead, Disney appears to want to concentrate on their animated movies and big tentpole films.

It’s also said Jared Leto and Olivia Munn were wanted for roles at one point, though no official offer or negotiations took place.

2010’s Tron: Legacy grossed over $400 million at the box office at a budget of $170 million.

First Look At Wakanda’s Vibranium Mines From Avengers 2 Deleted Scene

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20791:]]

Add one more deleted scene to The Avengers 2 with the Wakanda Vibranium Mines.

Concept art has hit the net revealing images of the design of the mines (via gregoryfangeaux.com).

More than likely this scene involved Andy Serkis’ Ulysses Klaw as well as Ultron upgrading himself, which we never got to see.

It also would have been interesting to know whether T’Challa or his father was a part of the scene, as Black Panther will be featured in Captain America: Civil War next May.

The Avengers: Age Of Ultron seems to have a lot of deleted scenes, which Joss Whedon noted will be on the Blu-Ray.

No Kang The Conqueror For Avengers Movies; Fox Owns Him

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20779:]]

Scratch one more cool character off the Marvel Cinematic Universe list as Kang The Conqueror is owned by Fox Studios.

A hopeful fan questioned Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn about the use of Kang on Facebook, with Gunn replying the character is owned by Fox.

Gunn also let it be known Fox owns the rights to the alien race, the Shi’ar, as well; so both Kang and the Shi’ar won’t be appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or any Avengers movie any time soon.

Gunn did let it be known they chose the characters that are appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 a while ago.

Regarding Kang The Conqueror, the time-travelling Avengers foe first appeared in Fantastic Four #19 in 1963 as Nathaniel Richards/Rama-Tut, which is why Fox probably owns him. He first appeared as Kang in Avengers #8 in 1964.

Likewise, the Shi’ar first appeared in X-Men #97 back in 1976, and we can also guess Fox probably also owns the rights to the members of the Imperial Guard with Gladiator and such.

I guess the good news is that both Kang and the Shi’ar can appear in Fox’s X-Men and Fantastic Four movies.

The dead boy’s mother puts out a bounty on the shark and Amity is soon swamped with amateur hunters and fisherman hoping to cash in on the reward. A local fisherman with much experience hunting sharks, Quint, offers to hunt down the creature for a hefty fee. Soon Quint, Brody and Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic Institute are at sea hunting the Great White shark. As Brody succinctly surmises after their first encounter with the creature, they’re going to need a bigger boat.
