Production Is Underway On ‘Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them’

Principal photography has begun on Warner Bros. Pictures’ highly anticipated feature FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM.  

The all new adventure is set in the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling in her best-selling Harry Potter books, which were adapted into the highest-grossing film franchise of all time.

Filming started August 17th, at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, under the direction of David Yates, who helmed the last four HARRY POTTER feature films.

Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne (THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING) stars as Newt Scamander, the wizarding world’s preeminent magizoologist, who stops in New York following his travels to find and document magical creatures.

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM also stars Katherine Waterston (INHERENT VICE) as Tina; Alison Sudol (TRANSPARENT) as Tina’s sister, Queenie; Tony Award winner Dan Fogler as Jacob; Ezra Miller (TRAINWRECK) as Credence; two-time Oscar nominee Samantha Morton (IN AMERICA) as Mary Lou; Jenn Murray (BROOKLYN) as Chastity; young newcomer Faith Wood-Blagrove as Modesty; and Colin Farrell (TRUE DETECTIVE) as Graves.

Marking the screenwriting debut of J.K. Rowling, the script was inspired by her character Newt Scamander’s Hogwarts textbook, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

The film is being produced by David Heyman, producer of all eight of the blockbuster HARRY POTTER features; J.K. Rowling; Steve Kloves; and Lionel Wigram.

Warner Bros. Pictures has slated FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM for worldwide release in 3D and IMAX on November 18th, 2016.
