Here’s a better look at ‘Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald’

Aside from the great panels, one of the big things we look forward to when San Diego Comic-Con comes around is the new trailers. One of the big ones shown at this year’s Comic-Con is the latest trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. The three-minute trailer shows Magizoologist Newt Scamander (played by Eddie Redmayne) working with a young Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) to try and put a stop to Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) as he wants to lead pure-blood wizards to rule over all non-magical beings.

Other cast members you can expect in this sequel include Katherine Waterston as Tina Goldstein, Ezra Miller as Credence Barebone, Dan Fogler as Jacob Kowalski, and Zoe Kravitz as Leta Lestrange. David Yates is back in the director’s chair for this second Fantastic Beasts film and J.K. Rowling herself penned this movie’s screenplay as well. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald comes to theatres starting November 16^th.

Warner Bros will support new Samsung-led HDR10+ standard

You may or may not have heard of the newest High Dynamic Range (HDR) standard to come out in the past year. But now its three founding companies—Samsung, Panasonic, and 20^th Century Fox—just shared some updates on HDR10+ and what we can expect from the platform. This Dolby Vision competitor is said to soon make its way to “content companies, ultra-high definition TVs, Blu-ray disc players/recorders and set-top box manufacturers, as well as SoC vendors.” Moving forward, the three companies will be incorporating the standard in “all future Ultra HD movie releases, selected TVs, Ultra HD Blu-ray player/recorders, and other products.” And unlike its Dolby counterpart, Samsung, in a press release, emphasizes that using HDR10+ will be royalty-free and will only require a “nominal annual administration fee” to use the standard. Updates about the new format will be put up on this new site.

One of the bigger announcements, though, is that Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will be enabling this dynamic metadata solution to its content for Samsung, Panasonic and other HDR10+ capable 4K HDR TVs. Amazon Prime Video already supports the standard with its Prime Video HDR library already offering HDR10+ and can be seen on Prime Originals like The Grand Tour, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Jean-Claude Van Johnson, The Tick and The Man in the High Castle.

Here’s a look at upcoming ‘Justice League’ with new trailer from SDCC

At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, DC and Warner Bros. gives us a longer look at the upcoming Justice League movie. It shows plenty of action as the five heroes get together and deal with the world’s issues after Superman’s death in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. The trailer gives us a look at the film’s villain Steppenwolf. We get a bit of humor too from Flash and Alfred, perhaps DC and Warner Bros.’ answer to the criticism about Batman v. Superman’s gloomier tone. There have been hints of Superman appearing in the film but we don’t know, of course, how this is going to come about. Justice League is set to hit theatres on November 17^th.

A live-action version of ‘The Jetsons’ is reportedly in the works

Back in the ‘90s when a live-action The Flintstones movie came out, there has been talk about The Jetsons making its own live-action debut. But that hasn’t happened—until perhaps now. TVLine reports that a live-action sitcom of the 1960s cartoon is supposedly in development at Warner Bros. with Back to the Future director Robert Zemeckis as its executive producer. Its showrunner is said to Family Guy’s executive producer and writer Gary Janetti. It’s rumoured that the show is being shopped around networks. Not much is known about the new project but it’s said that it’ll take place 100 years from the present day. Warner Bros. is also said to be working on animated movie with Sausage Party director Conrad Vernon said to be in talks to direct the film.
