Alfonso Cuaron May Direct Harry Potter Spinoff Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
Warner Bros is obviously not treating Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them as some second-rate Harry Potter spinoff, and have approached top talent to direct the first film.
Alfonso Cuaron arguably made the best Harry Potter picture, Prisoner of Azkaban, and is now rumored to be "deep in talks" to return to the wizarding world to direct Fantastic Beasts.
This, according to Nikki Finke, formerly of Deadline and now just sporadically giving out scoops on Twitter. I'd definitely trust her, but we'll have to see if this deal pans out.
I hear Alfonso Cuaron ('Gravity', 'HP/Azkaban') deep in talks to direct JK Rowling's Harry Potter spinoff 'Fantastic Beasts'. Perfect pick.
