12 h, oct 12, 2019 y - LEAKY CAULDRON Johnny Depp FANTASTIC BEASTS 3 To Start Filming February 2020

Description:

he newest shooting start for Fantastic Beasts 3 has been revealed by star Dan Fogler, who revisits No-Maj baker Jacob Kowalski under returning screenwriter and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling and director David Yates. Originally planned for a July shooting start before filming was pushed back to late autumn, Fantastic Beasts 3 will now head in front of cameras in early 2020. According to a January report, studio Warner Bros. approved the delay to give the Crimes of Grindelwald sequel more prep time. In April, Warner Bros. shifted its release date from November 20, 2020 to November 12, 2021.

"We haven't started filming yet. We start in February," Fogler said onstage at LeakyCon 2019 Boston. "Last we heard, J.K. … she's been writing furiously, everyone was really happy with what she submitted, and we're all just waiting for the new script. And that's where we're at."

A noticeably slimmer Fogler added he's yet to receive a script, but he hopes Jacob is reunited with witch girlfriend Queenie (Alison Sudol), who was last seen joining dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) when promised a future with the Muggle Jacob.

"I hope that he gets Queenie back. … I haven't seen a script yet, and I've lost a significant amount of weight, and I think it will be funny if — you know how she put a spell on me to follow her around like a puppy? What if she also put a spell on me to get fit?" Fogler said with a laugh. "So there's that. But also, on a philosophical level, it'll be interesting… We're in the middle of the Depression, he's just on a bender of loss. He lost her … I'm just saying this is the thing that I have in my head, that he's lost his appetite."

Fogler previously said the delay was due to the film being "gigantic."
