SnitchSeeker.com - 'Fantastic Beasts' 2 rumored to be filming scenes at Highgate Cemetery in UK

Reports are coming in that possible filming of Fantastic Beasts 2 took place the past couple of weeks at Highgate Cemetery in the United Kingdom. This has not been confirmed by Warner Bros. or even officials running the cemetery, though it was noted that scenes involved putting fictional names on the tombs of existing plaques.

People who had seen the set were concerned, that during filming false name plaques had been fixed on top of existing name plaques on tombs in the famous Egyptian Avenue’s central circle. It is believed that the plaques had been fixed on with natural products.

Those involved, including Highgate Cemetery and Camden Council in the area, refused to state which movie was shooting. It also seems that none of the principle cast was spotted around the site, either. Do note that this is a rumor for now, and if it is true, then perhaps a cemetery or funeral scene will take place in the sequel, out next November.

The following plot details were released by Warner Bros. about the second installment, which hits theaters and IMAX in November 2018.

J.K. Rowling wrote the screenplay for the film, which opens in 1927, a few months after Newt helped to unveil and capture the infamous Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald. However, as he promised he would, Grindelwald has made a dramatic escape and has been gathering more followers to his cause—elevating wizards above all non-magical beings.

The only one who might be able to stop him is the wizard he once called his dearest friend, Albus Dumbledore. But Dumbledore will need help from the wizard who had thwarted Grindelwald once before, his former student Newt Scamander. The adventure reunites Newt with Tina, Queenie and Jacob, but his mission will also test their loyalties as they face new perils in an increasingly dangerous and divided wizarding world.

The starring cast for Fantastic Beasts 2 includes Eddie Redmayne (Newt Scamander), Katherine Waterston (Tina Goldstein), Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstein), Dan Fogler (Jacob Kowalski), Ezra Miller (Credence Barebone), Johnny Depp (Gellert Grindelwald), Kevin Guthrie (Abernathy), Callum Turner (Theseus Scamander), Jude Law (Albus Dumbledore), and Zoe Kravitz (Leta Lestrange).
