'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald' previews in IMAX, 4DX & ScreenX formats
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be released in an array of formats for the big screen starting this week. Most fans head to see the digital 2D version, but other formats are available, including 3D, IMAX 2D and IMAX 3D, 4DX, ScreenX, and much more.
For those who want an idea of those special platforms, the cast of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is here to answer a few questions.
Dan Fogler (Jacob Kowalski) and Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstein) talk about the perks of the 270-degreen ScreenX platform, which means that the movie will be stretched to three screens on 3/4 of the walls in the theatre.
Ezra Miller (Credence Barebone) and Claudia Kim (Nagini) highlighted the perks of the immersive 4DX experience, which includes weather effects (rain, snow, fog, wind), moving chairs in various positions, scents, and much more.
For those curious about 3D, IMAX released a short clip of what the Kelpie scene with Newt in the sequel would look like.
Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is the second of five all new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World™.
At the end of the first film, the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne). But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.
In an effort to thwart Grindelwald’s plans, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. 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).
Slated for release on November 16, 2018, the film will be distributed worldwide in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures.
This film is rated PG-13 for some sequences of fantasy action.
