Cash Grab "Fantastic Beasts" Becomes A Trilogy

Warner Bros is expanding its plans for the film version of author  J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter Hogwarts textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" .


When the adaptation was first announced in last September, WB Chief Executive Officer Kevin Tsujihara. said the studio had hoped it would serve as a potential franchise launcher.

In a profile on Tsujihara that was published over the weekend, The New York Times revealed that the plan now is to make a trilogy.

And you thought turning the 310-page long "The Hobbit" into a film trilogy seemed like a stretch. The idea of Rowling's 54-page Hogwarts textbook being turned into "three megamovies" seems far worse.

Set some seven decades before the start of the Potter books, the films will follow magizoologist Newt Scamander.

The same article also says "a film series will be announced in the near future" based on DC Comics properties, and "it is expected to include a Justice League movie".
