Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Returns to Harry Potter Universe

Published

on

Well, I have to admit here that I have never been a huge fan of the Harry Potter genre, that being said, I have still been rather impressed by the world that the studios have put together, and this film does not disappoint! The studios have produced a film, that I believe, will give even a hardcore fan, like my wife, something to rejoice in.

The film carries on from the first maintaining a number of the same characters while introducing us to some new and interesting ones. I think the hardcore fans will appreciate the many references to the Harry Potter series throughout this film. The biggest being how Dumbledore was depicted and brought to life by Jude Law.

I spoke with some fans outside the theater who agreed that Just Law became Dumbledoor for this episode. I think they will also appreciate the beauty and amazing landscapes that were put together for this film. They really did some work on them to present them on a grand scale! They fit the era that the film is set in perfectly! Another area where you can see that they took some time is with the numerous wizard battles. The “light show” was phenomenal!

Now the story follows a very disgruntled Grindelwald, a wizard who, not unlike others of his ilk, what to see his race, clan, section, group, tile over those who are not like him, very much like Magneto, or even Hitler. Grindelwald wants to gather all of the wizards so as to rule over the muggles. He has the idea, as most tyrannical leaders do, that Wizards should be the ruling force simply because they are better. Of course, this plan does not go over well with the council of magic and so they try to elicit the help of Newt. Newt, however, doesn’t really want to get involved, to pick sides. Of course, this leads to jaunting all over trying to stop Grindelwald.

This film is wonderfully fraught with amazing special effects without seamlessly move the story along. The action never overtakes the story, the story is the most important thing in this film, and that’s something I do appreciate as you all know. Even though I’m not a huge follower of the Harry Potter world, I did appreciate this movie and feel that it stands alone, so that even if you are unfamiliar with this genre you can still appreciate this film and the characters that they develop as well as the overall storyline. I do believe it does have something for everybody, and I would highly recommend it especially for the twist at the end!

DISNEY+ CASTS DANIEL DIEMER AS FAN-FAVORITE ‘TYSON’IN SEASON TWO OF “PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS”

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
