David Yates Says The ‘Fantastic Beasts’ Franchise Is “Parked” & No One Told Him About J.K. Rowling’s Plans To Make Five Films

Pain Hustlers trailer has arrived with Emily Blunt and Chris Evans leading the cast of the new Netflix film, arriving on the streaming service soon. David Yates (director of some of the Harry Potter films and the more recent Fantastic Beasts series) is helming this.

This may ruffle some feathers: speaking to Le Monde about his latest film “The Killer,” David Fincher made some semi-controversial remarks regarding the state of the filmmaking industry. His take?  Netflix, the streamer that’s produced his last two films, is the best place in Hollywood to make movies right now.

David Guetta has insisted that he’s never faked his live shows or performed a pre-recorded set.The French DJ and producer refuted allegations that he uses a pre-planned mix instead of spinning and mixing tracks live.He was responding to comments made by Canadian DJ Deadmau5, who accused Guetta more than a decade ago of turning up at sets to just “press play”. Back in 2015 Deadmau5 also called Guetta a “stupid fuck” for using live horses in nightclub appearance.Guetta responded to the allegation at the time, saying: ”For so many years I DJed in clubs and learned the hard way.”He’s since circled back on the debate, telling the Daily Star’s ‘Wired’ column (via Music News): “I was looking online at Deadmau5 who was saying every DJ, including me, is playing a pre-recorded set.“I won’t speak for other people, but I’ve never done that.

Harry Potter has become a multimedia franchise to rival Star Wars and Marvel.The success of the books led to a film adaptation of Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone in 2001, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. The remaining six novels in the series were later adapted across seven films, with the last being Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2011.Since then, the wizarding world has continued on the big screen through the Fantastic Beasts films starring Eddie Redmayne.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director The holiday movie season kicks off in November, and the streamers are providing no shortage of Christmas movies to subscribers this month. Whether it’s the reemergence of beloved classics (see “Elf” making its way to Hulu) or streamers offering up new originals (Disney+’s “Dashing Through the Snow,” for instance), holiday movie lovers will have plenty of options to help them get into the Christmas spirit this November.

Livingston say they have rejected an approach from St Johnstone to speak to manager David Martindale about the vacant position at McDiarmid Park.

Hank Azaria paid tribute to his good friend Matthew Perry, crediting the Friends star with helping him get sober, in a video shared on Instagram.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director David Fincher was recently asked by The Guardian about how his 1999 directorial effort “Fight Club” has become a favorite amongst incels and far-right groups for depicting disenfranchised white men coming together to rally against capitalist society. The director distanced himself from such a topic, telling the publication, “I’m not responsible for how people interpret things…Language evolves. Symbols evolve.” “Ok, fine,” Fincher replied when the Guardian writer said “Fight Club” has become a touchstone for the far right.

We are still awaiting a cause of death for Matthew Perry. An autopsy has been completed on the Friends‘ actor, but it is inconclusive pending toxicology tests, according to a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Fight Club, and that he “can’t help” people who don’t understand that Tyler Durden is a “negative influence”.In the film, Edward Norton plays an unnamed, discontented man who forms an underground fighting network with strict rules with Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), who persuades him to expand the club into the anti-consumerist organisation Project Mayhem.Many have observed that the film, which is based on the transgressive 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk, anticipated the rise of so-called ‘incels’, short for ‘involuntary celibates’, or straight men who believe their lack of sexual activity is due to political and societal structures.Speaking to The Guardian, Fincher said, “I’m not responsible for how people interpret things. Language evolves.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Before Sam Raimi landed the directing gig on Sony’s 2002 comic book tentpole “Spider-Man,” it was David Fincher who met with the studio to try and get his own spin on the web-slinger to the big screen. In a new interview with The Guardian to mark the release of his latest movie, “The Killer,” the director remembered not seeing eye to eye with the studio over what a “Spider-Man” movie could be. They wanted an origin story, but he wanted to skip over the whole “bitten by a radioactive spider” part and focus on a grown-up Peter Parker.

Harry Potter films as well as recent spin-off series Fantastic Beasts, has confirmed that their are no current plans for a sequel to last year’s Secrets Of Dumbledore – but he also said the franchise could return in the future.Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets Of Dumbledore was released in April 2022, starring Eddie Redmayne as magical zoologist Newt Scamander who teams up with Jude Law’s wizard professor Albus Dumbledore to fight against an encroaching evil.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer More than 3,600 SAG-AFTRA members have signed an open letter stating that they would rather stay on strike than “cave” to a bad deal. The group, calling itself Members in Solidarity, includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jon Hamm, Maya Hawke, Marisa Tomei, John Leguizamo and Bryan Cranston, among many other notable names.

Fantastic Beasts filmmaker David Yates told Total Film that the Harry Potter spinoff feature franchise “is parked.”

The Fantastic Beasts movies are essentially done, at least for now.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director The “Fantastic Beasts” movie franchise is “parked,” director David Yates said in a new interview with Total Film magazine. The franchise, headlined by Eddie Redmayne, is a prequel to “Harry Potter” that was designed by author J.K. Rowling as a five-film series.

Stephen King has faced some criticism after promoting one of J.K. Rowling’s books.On Thursday (October 26), the author praised The Running Grave by Rowling, written under her crime fiction pseudonym Robert Galbraith.“This is J.K. Rowling at her best, recalling the sheer readability of the Harry Potter books, but much darker,” King wrote on X.

David Fincher has revealed that he’s “glad” his planned World War Z sequel was never made, comparing it to HBO‘s The Last Of Us adaptation.Speaking to GQ Magazine UK, Fincher spoke of his cancelled World War Z sequel and explained the similarities between his vision for the film and this year’s The Last Of Us live-action series based on the video game of the same name.“It was a little like The Last Of Us,” Fincher said. “I’m glad that we didn’t do what we were doing, because The Last Of Us has a lot more real estate to explore the same stuff.”Fincher went on to explain: “In our title sequence, we were going to use the little parasite… [The Last Of Us] used it in their title sequence, and in that wonderful opening with the Dick Cavett, David Frost-style talk show.”The filmmaker was also asked if his original vision for the now-cancelled sequel was closer to the original World War Z novel rather than an original take on it, to which he said that it wasn’t close to the original book but “there is some talk of doing that”.Fincher’s next film will be the assassin film, The Killer starring Michael Fassbender.

David Fincher is opening up about the scrapped World War Z sequel and revealing that it was going to be like HBO’s The Last of Us.
