Forget Harry Potter, Rebecca Ferguson's New Fantasy Movie Just Set a U.S. Release Date




Franchises such as the original Harry Potter films, The Lord of the Rings, and, in a very different genre, The Dark Knight trilogy share that rare quality of truly honoring their source material. They are loved by the majority, respected by critics, and remembered as defining works in their genres. When the benchmark is that high, almost every new addition in a specific genre automatically tries to fill that gap. However, since rarely any film makes it even remotely close, whenever a film like this, a Rebecca Ferguson, Andrew Garfield-starrer, has that same sweet feeling of being spot-on like perhaps Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was, it feels like another filmmaker finally understood what it took for those benchmarks to have worked in the first place.
