masterofmystery | 07-27-2015 04:22 PM | 'Fantastic Beasts' movie possibly already began filming & production this week Production and filming may have already begun this week on the first installment of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, according to a local town report, and actor Dan Fogler.
Eddie Redmayne, who will play lead Newt Scamander in the series, was spotted in the northern English town of Ludlow over the weekend. According to local fans who met him at a shop, Redmayne claimed he was in town to visit friends, though residents heard otherwise. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Oscar-winning actor Eddie <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Redmayne?src=hash">#Redmayne</a> in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Ludlow?src=hash">#Ludlow</a>

The casting call for young Modesty stated that the girl chosen would have to be available for filming from August until January 2016, though it never confirmed it would start then, so it is plausible the movie already began production. Modesty's casting has yet to be confirmed by Warner Bros. Quote:
Sarah Coker and Olivia Wilcock thought they recognised the Les Miserables actor and approached him for a photograph.
“[Redmayne] came in and he was just browsing,” said Sarah. “He was in here for some time. We recognised him and asked if he would mind having his picture taken. He was very unassuming and very quiet. He obliged very politely.”
Sarah said she had since heard rumours that the actor was making a new film in the region.
“I asked him why he was in the area and he hesitatingly said he was with friends,” she added. But I’ve since heard that they are making a new film around here.”
| Dan Fogler, who will play Muggle Jacob in the series, left these two cryptic tweets on Monday, leading to believe he is well into production for Fantastic Beasts, as well. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">lost 15 pounds of fat not $ in the uk getting ready 2 ride some dragons! <a href="http://t.co/qDTJhXUoFd">pic.twitter.com/qDTJhXUoFd</a></p>— Dan Fogler (@mrdanfogler) <a href="https://twitter.com/mrdanfogler/status/625689859110244352">July 27, 2015</a></blockquote>
