Ever since Warner Bros. and J.K. Rowling has announced another film based out of the wizarding world, "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them," fans are enthralled to watch it. The film's star, Eddie Redmayne recently shared his thoughts on how this film has brought about a lot of pressure on him.
Eddie Redmayne has been talk of the town after winning an Academy and especially after his performance in "Danish Girl." However, despite all the accolades, according to a recent interview the actor did with E! News and Entertainment Weekly, the upcoming "Harry Potter" spin-off film, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" has brought in a lot of pressure around him and his co-stars.
In the "Harry Potter" world, "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them" was in the Hogwarts syllabus. The companion book was written by J.K. Rowling under the pseudonym of famous mazizoologist (magic zoologist), Newt Scamander. The spin-off of the eight movies centres on Newt Scamander and is set in the wizarding world of New York City seventy years before the "Harry Potter" books and films.
In an interview with E! News, Eddie Redmayne stated that portraying the main character of the film has upped the ante for him. The original eight "Harry Potter" movies were all big success and left a quite a legacy behind, the 33-years-old British actor is beginning to feel the pressure to follow up the success. The "Theory Of Everything" star and his co-stars have to live up to the standard set by the original films.
"The stakes are high because they were so good before," he told E! News of the earlier Harry Potter films. "You don't want to screw it up."
However, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor also stated that he felt privileged and honoured to be a part of the wizarding world as he is a big fan of J.K. Rowling's work.
Eddie Redmayne is joined by Katherine Waterston as Tina, Alison Sudol as Tina's sister Queenie, Ezra Miller as Credence, Dan Fogler as Jacob, Jenn Murray as Chasity, and Colin Farrell as Graves. J.K. Rowling has penned the screenplay. David Yates who previously directed "Order of the Phoenix," "Half-Blood Prince," "Deathly Hallows Part 1 & 2," is directing the spin-off.
"Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them" began filming in August and is scheduled for release on November 18, 2016.
