Will the Second Be the Best?
The primary questions involving movie sequels to popular, well-received originals are:
Will they be fantastic? Will the sequel be a storytelling, cinematic beast in its own right? How about a little of both?
The 2016 Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them film adaptation of the book of the same title is the grown-up version of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series (books and movies). This new teaser trailer solidifies that dynamic while using the wizarding school of Hogwarts and one of its most prominent figures just enough to firmly connect the two virtually separate universes for fans young and old for what should be a great reveal later this year.
What’s impressive in the video above is that one of writer J.K. Rowling’s favorite directors, David Yates, appears to have taken the Crimes of Grindelwald story to the next-level. And what’s more is that this Fantastic Beasts sequel looks, yes, better than the original in this burgeoning series. Could this really happen? A movie in the modern era with a sequel better than the original?
That could be the real magic of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald when it arrives in theaters on November 16.
