Johnny Depp confirms Grindelwald will return for Fantastic Beasts 3

During a recent interview with Collider, Fantastic Beasts: and the Crimes of Grindelwald star Johnny Depp discussed what brought him to the role and let slip a fairly hefty bit of news: he will return for the third Fantastic Beasts film.

During the interview, Depp recalled some of his more memorable characters, including Edward Scissorhands and Jack Sparrow before the interview turned its focus on Fantastic Beasts, in which the actor plays the legendary (and infamous) Grindelwald.

“It was amazing. It came out of nowhere,” Depp said. “Someone said J.K. Rowling would like to talk to me. I spoke to a few producers and the director and to J.K. and had long conversations basically about the Grindelwald character. J.K. said something I did not expect to hear because obviously her detail to her characters and those wizarding worlds is astonishing. The fact that she said, ‘I can’t wait to see what you do with the character.’ Just to hand it off to me with that degree of trust, I was really touched, blown away by that. So I jumped into locating the character and I had my ideas. I came in and it all seemed to work out. Grindelwald is an interesting character. His intentions in his mind are for the greater good, but there have been other people in world politics and such who felt the same way. [chuckles] He’s very dedicated to his beliefs. He’s not a fun character; he’s not funny.”

When asked if he enjoyed playing him, Depp said he appreciated the opportunity to play a character who is teetering to be a fascist, but who is also sensitive, concerned and manipulative. Then he dropped the golden nugget:

“The possibilities in that world are wide open, so you can really try anything. So it was a gas and I look forward to the next installment, which I think we start the middle of next year.”

Depp confirmed he’s not only returning for Fantastic Beasts 3, but that the film will start shooting in the middle of next year. Until then, we’re left waiting for the release of the next installment, which hits theaters in a little over a month.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second of five all-new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. The film stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamandar alongside returning stars Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, and Ezra Miller.

Details revealed for Crimes of Grindelwald soundtrack, two tracks released early

One of the best aspects of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was its lush, majestic score composed by James Newton Howard. Luckily, the famed composer has returned for the sequel Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and WaterTower Music is going all out for the soundtrack — and even released a couple of tracks early for streaming and purchase.

RELATED: New Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Posters Released

The Crimes of Grindelwald soundtrack will feature a whopping 25 tracks, all of which will be available for digital purchase on November 9. The CD will hit shelves on November 30, while the vinyl is scheduled to go out in January 2019. In addition to the score, the soundtrack will treat fans to three solo piano cues performed by James Newton Howard and not heard in the film: “Dumbledore’s Theme (Solo Piano)”, “Fantastic Beasts Theme (Solo Piano)” and “Leta’s Theme (Solo Piano).” Those three tracks are scheduled to be released October 26, 2018.

For those fans unable to wait, WaterTower has also released two tracks for early streaming and purchase titled “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” and “Salamander Eyes,” which you can listen to HERE. And just so you know, the music is quite fantastic, featuring lush, beautiful, choir-driven melodies reminiscent of Danny Elfman’s Edward Scissorhands and Howard’s own Maleficent.

“To work on Fantastic Beasts is a wonderful musical opportunity,” describes composer James Newton Howard. “The movie is delightful, substantial, and complex; and [director] David Yates focuses very seriously on the music and is a truly passionate and enthusiastic collaborator.”

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is the second of five all-new adventures in J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World.

Fantastic Beasts – The Crimes of Grindelwald Review:

What happens when you take a beloved generation defining epic and attempt to craft a new story for it delving into the original’s deep backstory?  History says the odds aren’t good for creating a self-sustaining piece of entertainment (take note Game of Thrones spin-off producers).  But history is also replete with exceptions to the rules. Theoretically it should be possible for a prequel to dance over the mire of fan service and clumsy story arc welding to create something that stands on its own.  So how does Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald fare?

Mire, miles and miles of mire.  And in the center of it all is Grindelwald (Depp) himself, the evil wizard captured in the first Fantastic Beasts who quickly escapes and returns to his plans for a revolt to subjugate the entire world under wizard control.  But also in the center is mischievous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Albus Dumbledore (Law) attempting to contain Grindelwald but refusing to move against him openly despite being admittedly the greatest wizard in the world.  Instead he relies on the magical creature lover Newt Scamander (Redmayne), sending him to Paris to search for Grindelwald, as well as his friends Tina and Queenie Goldstein (Waterson and Sudol) who have disappeared searching for the reincarnated magical menace Credence Barebone (Miller).  Which is lucky because his old American compatriot Jacob (Fogler) has recovered his memories of Queenie and wants to find her.  But doing so puts Newt in the crosshairs of his old paramour Leta Lestrange (Kravitz) …

…and on and on and on. So many characters.  So little time.   Grindelwald has a lot of irons in the fire from the last film, while also attempting to set up the next part of the story and keep everything moving.  The end result feels less like a film and more like the penultimate episode of a TV season, building up to a big finale, but in the meantime a lot of pieces need to be moved into place.  It’s an overwhelming requirement which tramples over every other part of the film; there is just too much being required of the film and not enough time to do it all.  Characters disappear for extended periods, popping back up again only for specific plot requirements.  Besides so many returning friendly faces from the previous film Grindelwald dumps a heap more onto the mess, playing into the theme of choosing sides.  But choosing sides means we need enough people to fill out both teams.  If Grindelwald is about anything, it is about that.

There are still a lot of good bits.  This is director David Yates’ sixth film in the franchise; he can do this sort of thing in his sleep by now.  It’s glib to say that it feels like he is, but that doesn’t change the fact that it feels like he is.  More importantly, his arrival on the series showcased a gradual drop in the amount of whimsy involved and when it does appear it seems spectacularly out of place.  With his deep shadows, aversion to primary colors and hand-held camera work Fantastic Beasts wants to make the magical feel real, a desire frequently at odds with itself.  As a result tone is all over the place.  A scene full of dark foreboding featuring Depp’s Grindelwald smoking from a skull in order to see the future will be followed immediately by Redmayne’s Scamander playing with one of his whimsical animals.  Is this a light adventure full of fun moments for all ages, or a dark fantasy delving into the depths of human evil?  No one knows.

Law makes an engaging Dumbledore, simultaneously of a piece with the other takers of the role while also making it firmly his own.  His complex relationship with Grindelwald is one of the few pieces of the film which creates the sort of high melodrama the film seems to aspire to.  [Compared to that, though, Newt and his undercooked star-crossed romance with Tina suffers terribly.]

Would a change of director matter, though?  It’s hard to say, with so much of what the new movies are trapped within its creator’s requirements.  One of Rowling’s great strengths as a writer has been her way with a MacGuffin.  Each of her Harry Potter stories (even the ones that may not have needed it) revolved around a mystery that needed unraveling, one which would eventually tie into both its main character(s) and the larger story they were involved in.  If nothing else it kept pages turning, kept audiences wrapped up in discovering the answer, and usually providing a framework for all the other pieces to be latched onto.

Fantastic Beasts, not content with just one mystery, has at least a half dozen – one for each major character.  Where is Tina and what is she doing?  Who has Queenie and what has happened to her?  Who is Credence’s real family?  What happened to Leta’s brother Corvus?  How is it all connected to the mysterious Yusuf Kama (Nadylam)?  Why can’t Dumbledore face Grindelwald directly?  These are all interesting character developments and the way they point towards a joint theme of the weight past choices can have on the future is potentially compelling but needs time and focus to be developed and both are in short supply.   That problem doesn’t stop Rowling or her compatriots from dropping ever more into the story – an army of quislings for Grindelwald replete with interesting names and looks but not much else, Newt’s officious older brother, the cursed Nagini who turns out to have been a witch before she was a snake, the oft-mentioned but never seen alchemist Nicholas Flamel – much of it aimed at the series considerable fan base but incomprehensible to anyone else.  This is nowhere more noticeable than the final minutes which plays as if all we know about the series has been turned on its head but instead leaves nothing but question marks.  [It’s still unclear what Kravitz was meant to be doing in her last scene].

What Fantastic Beasts desperately needs is an editor (or a director) with the ability to streamline Rowling’s imagination and fashion it into a single, comprehensible story.  Instead it’s got a craftsman, one who can serve a story up but not necessarily make it watchable.
