‘Harry Potter’ Prequel ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them’ Gets A Full Trailer
Last night’s MTV Movie Awards brought us a load of new trailers and clips for upcoming films. Among them was this first full trailer for Warner Bros.’ Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. Hitting theaters this fall on November 18th, the film is the first installment in a proposed prequel trilogy set decades before the events of the popular Harry Potter films. The movie centers on “the adventures of writer Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) in New York’s secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school”…
This honestly looks like a lot of fun. While it trades on nostalgia, particularly in terms of the score, the film appears to be a return to the more whimsical nature of the first few Potter films. Given how dark things got in the latter installments, this gives Fantastic Beasts a fresher and dare I say more magical feeling. I remain skeptical as to whether audiences will embrace an entirely new set of characters wandering around this world, but for now this looks to be an interesting continuation of the Potter saga.
Director David Yates, who helmed the last four Potter films, has returned to direct this latest installment in J.K. Rowling’s epic magical saga. The script was written by author J.K. Rowling herself. The film stars Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Samantha Morton, Jon Voight, Ron Perlman, Carmen Ejogo, Jenn Murray, Faith Wood-Blagrove, and Colin Farrell.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
