littlepotter 75,147 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 This is a professionally made movie, but created by fans Warner Bros gave their consent for the project. I am so hyped to see how this turns out! "The story follows a witch named Grisha Mac Laggen (heir to Griffindor and original character to this film), who suspects trouble when Hepzibah Smith, a descendant of the Hufflepuff family, was found murdered. The case goes cold, but Laggen suspects that there’s some sort of dark magic at play, and she believes that former Hogwarts student and future dark wizard Tom Marvolo Riddle is involved somehow. Visually, the teaser looks stunning, with visual effects and production design that feel like they fit alongside that of the official Harry Potter films Voldemort: Origins of the Heir has been in the works since early 2016, when its filmmakers were inspired after re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, leading them to wonder about what drove Riddle to become Voldemort, according to the film’s website. They launched a Kickstarter to fund the film, only to have Warner Bros. issue a takedown notice last summer. With the release of the teaser, the film appears to be continuing forward — the filmmakers note on their Facebook page, that they reached an agreement with Warner Bros. This has some echoes of the Star Trek fanfilm Axanar, which brought considerable legal trouble from Paramount Pictures over its movie-quality production and some strict guidelines for creators. Fortunately, Warner Bros. seems content to let the project proceed, and according to the film’s creators, the film will be released on YouTube in the fall of 2017."

littlepotter 75,147 Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm actually happy this is fan made. Many people brush that off as amateurish, but honestly, after the trainwreck that was Cursed Child, I think fans will do the universe justice way more than random people. Fans will make sure everything fits with the universe and get the references right. chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipper 13,078 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Im excited for this! I watched some fanmade films of Lord of the Rings and they are pretty good considering it is fanmade afterall! I really like how fans can power their own fantasies by making their own films/ fanfiction. Some are good, a lot are cringy but digging through mud to read one good one is enough! Now when can we start a kickstarter to hire Gaga and perform for only us ? I remember the poll about social standing and a lot of members here are RICH and Middle class. 🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶🩶 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
