Deron GenerallyFantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is coming to theaters this year and the creator of these characters and their world is already working on their next adventure.
Speaking at a Q and A with fans on her website, author JK Rowling announced that she is already working on the screenplay for the third film in the Fantastic Beasts storyline and another adventure starring Newt Scamander.
“I’m now writing the screenplay for Fantastic Beasts 3,” Rowling told fans during the Q and A. The prolific author was also asked about working with Warner Brothers and director David Yates and she told her fans;
“When I go down to WB Studios Leavesden and see a thousand people at work on Fantastic Beasts, building sets, making costumes, doing digital effects, making models and props and all the hundreds of other things that go into making a movie, it can feel utterly overwhelming,” she said. “Terrifying thoughts run through your mind, such as, I must not break an arm, because all these people’s jobs depend on me getting the screenplay finished.”
While discussing the differences between writing a novel and penning a screenplay, she said;
“The thing with movies is, however frustrated you get with the screenwriting process, and right at the moment when you think ‘never again, this is too hard,’ you go down to the film set and join in with one big glorious game of pretend, with the world’s best pretenders saying your words, and dressing out of the most fabulous dressing up box, and what with the lights and the smoke and the music you’re suddenly in love with the process all over again,”
It looks like Rowling has got a firm grasp on her process and we should be anticipating the next Fantastic Beasts with excitement.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald arrives in theaters November 16, 2018 with the third movie scheduled for 2020.
