Eddie Redmayne is one of the most in-demand and successful actors around at the moment and he is set to return to the big screen later this year with Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
The Oscar-winner will take on the role of New Scamander in an adaptation of the J.K. Rowling novel of the same name. In fact, Rowling is turning her hand to screenwriting for the first time having penned the film's script.
We are going to be returning to a world of witches and wizards as Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is set seventy years before the Harry Potter series.
Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them looks like it is a movie that really is going to be a lot of fun and the brand new trailer for the film has arrived. Take a look:
The movie marks the return of David Yates to the director's chair. Yates is no stranger to this world and Rowling's work, having directed four Harry Potter films. It is great to see him back.
A terrific cast has been assembled for the film as Ezra Miller, Colin Farrell, Ron Perlman, Jon Voight, Samantha Morton, Katherine Waterston, Carmen Ejogo, and Dan Fogler are just some of the names that are on board.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures.
Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident... were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.
Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is released 18th November.
