I'm impressed with how WB is promoting this movie. Now we just need another trailer.

this november, fans will be able to watch the highly anticipated adventures of magizoologist newt scamander in a magical location, as warner bros. Studio tour london launches special screenings of fantastic beasts and where to find them. Opening on 18th november, the all-new adventure marks the screenwriting debut of j.k. Rowling, inspired by one of harry potter’s hogwarts textbooks, and stars academy award winner eddie redmayne, along with katherine waterston, dan fogler, alison sudol and colin farrell.

Filmed at the production home of the harry potter film series, 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.

Each evening from friday 18th november to sunday 20th november, visitors to these special screenings will begin by exploring the authentic harry potter sets, props and costumes that are showcased at the studio tour. Highlights include the gryffindor common room, dumbledore's office, the weasley kitchen at the burrow and the iconic platform 9 ¾ that houses the original hogwarts express locomotive. After experiencing green-screen technology flying a broomstick over london just like the harry potter cast, visitors will receive complimentary hot food, drinks and butterbeer in the backlot cafe.

Visitors will also be able to see newt scamander’s original costume, magical case and authentic wand from fantastic beasts and where to find them as they are displayed in the studio tour lobby for a limited time to celebrate the cinematic release.

On completing the tour, visitors will be able to grab a drink and snack to enjoy during the screening of fantastic beasts and where to find them. The film will be introduced by special guest pierre bohanna. Bohanna was head prop maker on all eight harry potter films and recently continued his work as head prop maker on fantastic beasts and where to find them.

Screenings of fantastic beasts and where to find them will take place at the studio tour on the 18th, 19th and 20th november 2016 from 4pm.

I don't like this magazine cover. Eddie's face looks so airbrushed.

I'm posting this under the tags so don't read if you wish to remain unspoiled.

Spoiler:

A new spoiler-filled scene and interviews from the set of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was published in the September issue of Empire magazine as part of their fall preview. The scene in question involves Tina, Queenie and Jacob in a department store trying to run for cover as a bug-eating magical creature scurries on the loose, with Newt standing by.

Alison Sudol, Dan Fogler and Eddie Redmayne comment on the scene, as well as how they engage with CGI-created fantastic beasts that are added in post-production. That, as well as David Yates' never-ending desire to direct - day or night.

Inside a ritzy New York department store, all hell is breaking loose. Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) has just slid across the floor at breakneck speed. Her sister, Queenie (Alison Sudol), is cowering in a storeroom, a silver punch bowl atop her head (photo above). And next to her is baker Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), limbs flailing. Despite all the evidence, Empire is not watching the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them characters navigate a clearance sale, but a situation even more stressful. Magical creatures have escaped throughout the city, and several have ended up here, causing havoc with the Christmas displays.

“There’s a lot of mayhem happening,” confirms Sudol when the scene is wrapped, bowl now removed from bonce. Fogler is more forthcoming. “At that moment I was being crushed by a tentacle-beast,” he explains with a grin. “It’s a very large creature which eats bugs,so Newt has told us to round up something for it to eat. I come from theatre and I love this stuff.”

The Newt in question is magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), the hero of this feverishly anticipated 1920s-set Harry Potter spin-off. He and his trio of pals are faced with the formidable task of rounding up the critters accidentally unleashed from his suitcase, before Central Park turns into an enchanted safari park.

Redmayne, who has been watching the department-store chaos from the sidelines, admits to having struggled with the fact said critters are absent from the set. “We did some work before we started shooting on the scale of the animals,” he says. “I’d stand against a big white screen and they were projected next to me. It was useful, because I have a bit of a shoddy imagination!”

One person with too good an imagination: director David Yates, who found the menagerie invading not just the Big Apple but his downtime. “I direct in my sleep,” the Potter veteran laughs, “and my wife kills me ’cause sometimes I go, ‘No, no, no, we have to go wider… I’ll find another shot…’” Why count sheep when you can count beasts?

Quote:

Ezra Miller: ‘So I’d heard about the part, and remember that to me – someone who got into Harry Potter so young, as a fan – I thought this was a universe that had been closed to me forever. I thought we’d had everything we’d ever get from that world, I thought it was over. I spent years devastated that I wasn’t in that world, that I wasn’t in those movies. I would say, “I can do British, I promise!”’

‘And then, to hear that J.K. Rowling had expanded that universe. That there was more and that there was this character… I almost couldn’t believe it.’

‘I improvise this character and I get a call two days later from David Yates. By then, I had become so invested in that character and, if you look back at those tapes, I had already become Credence. There is so much of what I’ve done as Credence that just came to me that day.’

‘At that stage I’d already signed up to become [DC Comics character] The Flash and there were serious scheduling issues. For a while it looked like I wouldn’t be able to do this movie.’

‘So I’m thinking about the part, I’m dreaming about it, I want it and I know deep down that I will do anything for it. So I start emailing Warner Bros. and I say, “Look at Humphrey Bogart!”'

alison sudol: ‘it can make you feel quite lonely, to have something that differentiates you from people like that. Obviously, it deepens the connection between tina and queenie because she knows so much about her sister without having to ask. That helps her help tina. But she also has to protect herself and be aware of how [being a legilimens] affects her. Tina’s the safest person for queenie to be around.’

‘the longer i play her, the more i delve into queenie’s powers. It really informs who she is, because she sees into people. She’s not just reading what you’re currently thinking, she’s reading you. Being a legilimens means she’s reading your whole story, she’s seeing all of your truths. If she peers in far enough, she can go all the way down.’

‘imagine, you go to a party and you think you’re the only one that feels awkward or out of place. If you could hear what everyone else was thinking, and knew they felt the same, you’d feel a real connection to people.

‘by the same token though, as a woman, the attention from men could be quite difficult. Queenie’s not ashamed of her body or self-conscious. Except that, well, she can hear exactly what a man is thinking about her. She knows what everyone is thinking about her. That would be so uncomfortable, right?

‘sometimes it might seem like queenie’s distracted or even looking a bit ditzy, but it’s just that there’s so much information coming into her mind all the time. It’s a lot to take on, this power.’
