In an interview with Crave Online, David Heyman revealed that J.K. Rowling will join him in the role of producer for
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Heyman acknowledged, however, that he isn’t sure at this point how involved Rowling will be.
Quote:
… it’s the early days so I don’t know how that’s going to continue through the process, but her role in this – she’s a producer, but she was on the last Potters – is as a writer, and a creator. She knows that David Yates is going to be directing the film and she’s respectful of that, and supportive of him and myself and the producing team. It’s early though.
Filming for
Fantastic Beasts will begin this summer.
Heyman is shown below at the UK premiere of his latest film
Paddington, which releases in US theaters this Friday.
