Final trailer for The Crimes of Grindelwald - amazing new footages


The new trailer was released today, and as amazing as I expected, even more.
It includes a lot of new footage.

Seven Things We’ll Definitely Be Seeing in “Fantastic Beasts...”
Intense Magical Action, A Hunt for Credence, Queenie In Distress,
Nagini, Dumbledore’s Internal Struggle, Newt’s Reluctance to Fight,
Grindelwald’s Skill for Seduction (mugglenet)



"Do you know why I admire you, Newt? You do not seek power. 
You simply ask is a thing, right?"



Theseus asks Newt to choose a side, and Newt responds,
“I don’t do sides,” 
but it’s looking like Newt won’t be able to avoid this
international conflict with Grindelwald for much longer...



Gellert Grindelwald’s grandiose speech has echoed through every trailer we’ve seen
so far – and this one is no different. He wants wizards and witches to take their
‘rightful place’ in the world, he says. ‘Join me, or die,’ he finishes simply. (Pottermore)





Pottermore: 11 intriguing moments from the third Fantastic Beasts TCoG trailer






Tina gleefully ties up Theseus with magical ropes, and Newt claims it
to be the best moment of his life. Well, this is going to be fun...


In the video below the cast of ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’ - Claudia Kim,
Dan Fogler, Ezra Miller, Zoe Kravitz, Eddie Redmayne, Alison Sudol, Katherine Waterston,
Jude Law and Callum Turner - reveal the name of the maledictus.

New official Fantastic Beasts TCOG character posters revealed

Dramatic character photos from 'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' 
contain new hints about the sequel

Newt Scamander: Wanted for Questioning (x) Eddie Redmayne
accompanied by his favorite beast Pickett
At the end of the first film, Newt helped capture the infamous dark 
wizard Gellert Grindelwald and has now published his famed beasts book. 
So what’s the magizoologist in trouble for this time? (EW article with gallery)

Tina Goldstein: On Foreign Assignment (x) Katherine Waterston
Theseus Scamander: Under Ministry Orders (x) Callum Turner

Jacob Kowalski: No-Maj of Interest (x) Dan Fogler 
Queenie Goldstein: Whereabouts Unknown (x) Alison Sudol

Albus Dumbledore: Under Surveillance (x) Jude Law
Gellert Grindelwald: Dark Wizard at Large (x) Johnny Depp

Credence Barebone: Searching for Identity (x) Ezra Miller
Leta Lestrange: Implicated by Prophecy (x) Zoe Kravitz

I considered two aspects when pairing the posters. The first is the connection 
of the characters, the second is the systematic nice arrangement of the frames.

FBtCOG news

The Scamander brothers join forces in this new Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald 

“Dumbledore trusts people who always make the right choice,” says Jude Law of the younger 
incarnation of the well-known wizard. “There’s a part of him also that thinks he has a monster 
inside of him. Newt is someone who can have affection for monsters. That’s a theme that runs 
through the whole film – people facing the monster inside.” (via gamesradar.com)


We could see Callum Turner in Hogwarts in the trailer released in March, but Eddie 
mentioned at the SDCC press conference, that Katherine and he weren't invited.
You can read more about the movie in the new issue of Total Film magazine (on stands now)

‘Talking to Jo, how she had written Callum's character in this film versus how he's mined that material,
I think it has changed where she might take him,’ reveals Eddie Redmayne. Next, when we brought
up the subject during our interview with Callum Turner, the actor was surprised and happy, saying he
didn’t know that. ‘That's so exciting for us,’ says Redmayne. ‘She has a plan of what the the major arc is,
but when she comes to set, she talks about responding to different actors' takes on different characters
and how that shifts her opinion,’ he explains. ‘It's lovely to feel like you're an active part of it.’
