In other franchise news, the first trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them debuted today. David Yeats, who directed the last four of the Harry Potter films, is back in the main chair, and he is joined in front of the camera by Eddie Redmayne, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, Ezra Miller, and Ron Perlman.

The story, set nearly a century before the events of Potter and his gang, follows writer Newt Scamander (Redmayne), a writer and wizard who arrives in New York with a case of something not quite human. These creatures escape, getting Scamander in trouble with the US branch of wizardry, and threatening to wreak havoc for both the magical and the muggles.

I'm a big fan of the work Yeats has done with J.K. Rowling's universe, and this trailer is pretty impressive, with an excellent cast both British and American. The film is set for release in November 2016, so no doubt there will be more information over the coming months.
