ARTEMIS FOWL
Disney+, 3:00 a.m. ET
MOVIE PREMIERE: When this film was financed, planned and produced, it was as a big-budget Disney movie aimed at launching a new fantasy film franchise in the Harry Potter vein. That’s the way it arrives, too, with Ferdia Shaw starring as the title character from the Eoin Colfer young-adult novels: there are mysteries and missions, and trolls and faeries. But this Artemis Fowl arrives in the pop-culture landscape smack in the middle of a pandemic – so instead of its planned widespread summer movie release in theaters, it arrives as a streaming TV premiere on Disney+. Kenneth Branagh directs, and supporting players include Josh Gad, Colin Farrell, and Judi Dench.
