Description

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is a 2016 fantasy film directed by David Yates and written by J.K. Rowling. The movie takes place in the wizarding world of Harry Potter but is set 70 years before the events of the original series. The story follows Newt Scamander, a magizoologist, and his adventures in New York City during the 1920s. He arrives in the city with a suitcase full of magical creatures, but when some of them escape, chaos ensues. Newt must navigate the dangers of the city and the threat of exposure to the non-magical population, all while trying to recapture his escaped creatures.

The film stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, alongside Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, and Colin Farrell. It received positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, grossing over $800 million worldwide.

The film's screenplay was written by J.K. Rowling, the author of the original Harry Potter series, and marks her debut as a screenwriter. The film was produced by Heyday Films, which produced all of the Harry Potter films. The visual effects in the film were praised for bringing the magical creatures to life, and the film's score, composed by James Newton Howard, was also well received. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards, for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design.

It seems absolutely clear that the gap left by ending of Harry Potter and Twilight Saga in 2012 could not be empty for a long time. And, here it is – Warner Bros attempts to bring brand new hit to young adult audience with film adaptation of Kami Garcia's and Margaret Stohl's Beautiful Creatures, a young adult novel which has gotten some very rave reviews in 2009 when it was published by Little, Brown, and Company. So, WB hopes to put a beginning of new money making movie series, by not only taking the very promising book as a storyline but gathering most talented actors to star in the new film. The main protagonist Ethan Wate is portrayed by Alden Ehrenreich, who was "discovered" by Stiven Spielberg and starred in Melanie Shaw's Running Wild and Chan-wook Park's Stoker at the time of Beautiful Creatures release. His character Ethan tries to escape a boring reality of a teenager living in the dead end of the small town. At one day Ethan awakes after a recurring dream about unknown girl. He listens a creepy-hypnotic song called Sixteen Moons on his iPad then smelsl a quite surprising aroma of rosemary and lemon coming from nowhere and goes to school to know that there is a new girl in his class. Meanwhile, returning home he almost runs over this new girl standing in the middle of the road. He hears the familiar Sixteen Moons playing in her car and smells and notes of rosemary and lemon from her hair. Soon, he learns that this new girl is a kind of sorceress, a Caster, and his dream somehow connected with the destiny of this girl. Her name is Lena (Alice Englert) and she is about her sixteen birthday when she has to decide which part of magic force she belongs: Light or Dark.
