Eddie Redmayne gives Fantastic Beasts 3 filming update

"It is a different process, but it still feels like it's fizzing."

By Joe Anderton

Fantastic Beasts 3, like practically every Hollywood production, was put on pause due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Work on a lot of films and shows has started back up, but things like local restrictions, travel bans and the sheer scale of certain productions have meant that isn't the case for every project.

In terms of the third entry in the Harry Potter spin-off franchise, reports previously claimed that cameras were due to start rolling at some point in September.

Now leading star Eddie Redmayne has confirmed to CinemaBlend that filming has indeed begun, and they've been going for two weeks already – although there are a few differences, of course.

"It's interesting because we've started shooting now," he said. "We're two weeks in, and again, it's a whole new process. It's a whole new normal. Testing frequently, masks.

"And I wondered, actually, whether the masks would affect creativity, in some ways. Maybe that was a bit ignorant, but I just thought, as humans, do we need interaction to spark from each other?

"What is really reassuring is that it is a different process, but it still feels like it's fizzing and that everyone is working at the top of their game."

Fantastic Beasts 3 does not currently have a proper subtitle, but it is still publicly on track for a November 12, 2021 release.
