It's a new dawn, it's a new day.

++ Richard Armitage has been cast in Ocean's Eight, and that caught me completely off guard, but was certainly a pleasant surprise, that's for sure. His role has yet to be revealed, but this is really exciting news because it means he'll be getting more exposure which I'm all for. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

++ find_beasts is a community for fans of the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them film franchise. I know that fannish communities have become rather obsolete on this site, but having just some with a few active members is better than none, I suppose.

++ I've been wondering, since the universe is expanding, is it possible that Fantastic Beasts will be added onto the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme parks at some point? Obviously it'll have to be done after all the films are released, considering the landmarks of where Newt will be traveling to. But it does make me curious, since the theme park was created as something that was connected to the films along with the books as a visual and interactive medium, and now we have an entirely new film franchise within the universe. Would it be possible for it to be an addition to the already existing parks or would there have to be something entirely separate? I know a lot of it depends on how popular the franchise will become along with how much in demand it'll be for it to be considered an additional part of the park itself. This is just me thinking out loud, is all, and an excuse for me to say that I really, really want to visit inside of MACUSA.

and I still don’t have the slightest idea how that even happened. *lol*

I know for me, it was rather abrupt. My obsession with Richard was also sudden but it happened after I saw him in The Hobbit, being impressed with his performance and it grew from there. But with Colin, my interest in him was immediate the moment I saw him in the trailers. It honestly hit me like a freight train, and that rarely ever happens, tbh. I'm still confused by it, but I'm definitely not complaining. ;)

But speaking of Richard Armitage, have you seen North and South? I love that movie.

Of course I have! That was one of the first recommended things I watched. And god, it was beautiful. John Thornton is such a wonderful character, and I want to see Richard do another period piece like this in the future. ♥

Yeah, me too. I’ve been reading a few of the behind the scenes books and there are so many things you just didn’t really notice in the movie.

I'm hoping that there will be some deleted scenes on the DVD that will further explore inside MACUSA, but yeah, there were just so many details and things mentioned that didn't even appear on the screen. I know it probably added atmosphere for the actors but it makes me intrigued to actually see and understand the inner workings of MACUSA and the overall American wizarding community.

I’m right there with you. Usually, when I like an actor/actress it’s because I’ve recently seen some of their work and really liked it. With Colin Farrell a few seconds in a trailer were enough. The odd thing about that is that I have seen some of his movies in the past and while I do admit that I noticed he was kinda cute, I was never really interested in him or his work in particular. And then along comes Colin as Percival Graves and all of a sudden I’m obsessed. *lol*
Though, tbh, it might have to do with the fact that he aged really well. Don’t get me wrong, young Colin Farrell was cute, but slightly older Colin Farrell is pushing all my buttons.

Yes, that would be great. I’m a sucker for period pieces and I would love to see Richard in another one.

I know we’ve talked about this before, but considering that there was only little of that in the actual movie, it would be great to get to see more of that even if it’s in a theme park.

Same here, my attraction to older men is definitely one of the main attributes to why my sudden interest with Colin has sprung up. Had it not been for FBAWTFT, he probably would have never been registered on my radar. It was the same with Richard, too. They're both in their forties and I'm just like, damn. ♥

Someone suggested that both Richard and Colin should be in one together, and I'm definitely on board for that possibility to happen. ;)

I’m not sure if I would survive seeing that movie, but at least I would die a happy fangirl. *lol*

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Me neither, tbh. ;)

Interestingly enough, Richard expressed his interest to be included in the FBAWTFT franchise during a recent interview/Q&A. I would honestly be so overjoyed if it actually happened, especially if Colin comes back. Can you imagine?!

[icecream-junkie.livejournal.com]

Oh my… That would be amazing. Having them both in the same fandom… ♥
Though at the moment I would settle for getting Colin back in one of the sequels.
