New Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Sneak Peeks!

By  | 

Wizarding fans, who is ready for “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”? The second of five all new adventures in the Wizarding World™ created by J.K. Rowling is ready to bring the action and adventure. At the end of “Fantastic Beasts: and Where To Find Them” dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (played by Johnny Depp) was captured by the Magical Congress of the United States of America from the help of Newt Scamander. Grindelwald escaped custody and is recruiting dark followers. His agenda? To raise pure-blood wizards and witches to rule over the mortal realm. Albus Dumbledore (played by Jude Law) is attempting to thwart his plans by enlisting his former student Newt Scamander. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.

The film features an ensemble cast led by Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Zoë Kravitz, Callum Turner, Claudia Kim, William Nadylam, Kevin Guthrie, Carmen Ejogo, Poppy Corby-Tuech, with Jude Law and Johnny Depp. “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is directed by David Yates, from a screenplay by J.K. Rowling. The film is produced by David Heyman, J.K. Rowling, Steve Kloves and Lionel Wigram. Tim Lewis, Neil Blair, Rick Senat and Danny Cohen serve as executive producers. The film reunites the behind-the-scenes creative team from the first “Fantastic Beasts” film, including Oscar-winning director of photography Philippe Rousselot (“A River Runs Through It”), three-time Oscar-winning production designer Stuart Craig (“The English Patient,” “Dangerous Liaisons,” “Gandhi,” the “Harry Potter” films), four-time Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood (“Chicago,” “Memoirs of a Geisha,” “Alice in Wonderland,” “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”), and Yates’ longtime editor Mark Day (the last four “Harry Potter” films). The music is by eight-time Oscar nominee James Newton Howard (“Defiance,” “Michael Clayton,” “The Hunger Games” films).

Opening on November 16, 2018, “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” will be distributed worldwide in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures. This film is rated PG-13.
