A few days ago we got word that a new trilogy was in the works in the Harry Potter universe. Titled Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Now Nikki Finke has gotten word that Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron is in deep talks to helm the first installment! He also directed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
I hear Alfonso Cuaron ('Gravity', 'HP/Azkaban') deep in talks to direct JK Rowling's Harry Potter spinoff 'Fantastic Beasts'. Perfect pick.
