Actor Dan Fogler (Jacob) confirmed via his Twitter page on Wednesday that production for
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will begin officially next week in the U.K.
A movie blog who attended a recent Warner Bros. film press junket (which included executives like Lionel Wigram, producer of
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them) this week also got word that filming would start next Monday.
Fogler also essentially confirmed, once and for all, that Ezra Miller is indeed part of the cast. It's still unknown which character Miller will play.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them's first installment, written by
Harry Potter's J.K. Rowling and starring Eddie Redmayne, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Fogler, Miller, Colin Farrell, Jenn Murray and Faith Wood-Blagrove, hits theaters on November 18, 2016.
