'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' News, Cast, Spoilers: Movie Will Be Similar to 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'
When the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was initially announced, many were left wondering how it was going to be presented on screen. Although it takes place in the same Harry Potter universe, popular characters like Harry will not be part of the prequel at all. Now, an interesting news follows a confirmation that the movie will be similiar to the film "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
Recently, producer David Heyman had a word with Entertainment Weekly about the upcoming film, and he shared, "[Fantastic Beasts has] got the charm of the fourth." Fourth here is referencing to the fourth movie of the Harry Potter franchise. He further adds, "It's like the fourth. Mike talked about the fourth as being like an Indian musical — and it's not that, but it's got the humor of of that film. It has the romantic comedy, that fish-out-of-water humor, that very human, natural character comedy. And now David is always looking for truthful, human moments, it's never just a gag, he's grounding [the storytelling moments] in a reality. [Beasts] is very funny, it's got a big heart, and there's darkness too."
This news comes interesting as David Yates is directing "Fantastic Beasts," while Mike Newell directed "Goblet of Fire." Yates, however, did direct the final four films so he is no stranger to the Harry Potter Universe. CinemaBlend points out that one similarity is how both movies showcase the struggle of each character with their personal lives.
