‘Crimes of Grindelwald’ Named Most Anticipated Fall Film
Aug 30, 2018
News
This may be case of preaching to the Frog Choir, as they say, but the second Fantastic Beasts film we’ve been posting, and tweeting and reading about since the release of the the first Harry Potter prequel, has been named most anticipated movie of the 2018 fall theatrical season by online movie ticket service Fandango!
Along with the big prize, voted on by over 1,000 film fans, Eddie Redmayne, who Leaky had the privilege of interviewing on the set of Crimes of Grindelwald, was chosen as one of the top 5 most anticipated actors of the season. The Fantastic Beasts sequel was also voted fall’s most anticipated family movie, according to Entertainment Weekly though fans have heard numerous times that this film is much darker than the last and director David Yates went as far in our set visit interview as to describe it as a hybrid between a political thriller and a love story,
“a much more sensual film.”
Fandango managing editor Erik Davis had this to say about the results of the survey,
“Moviegoers are particularly excited about the long-awaited return to Hogwarts in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”.
We hear you Mr. Davis! Remember the social media frenzy that ensued after fans witnessed the Ministry apparate into Hogwarts grounds when the first trailer was released last spring?
For our readers who may possibly be interested in seeing something aside from a Wizarding World flick this fall, here are the complete results of the Fandango survey:
