Several days ago Nikki Finkie posted a tweet stating that Gravity and former Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron was in talks to take on the spin off film Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them. After coming off winning best director in Gravity many Harry Potter fans were thrilled to see him return to the franchise. But in the end it seems that excitement was all for nothing. The director has since come out to tell ComingSoon that he is done with special effect heavy films for a while but he will always love the Harry Potter world
"It was a very beautiful experience for me. I have a lot of love for that universe and I tremendously admire JK Rowling, But today, for the present, projects based around lots of visual effects don't attract me. I'm coming out of a five-year process of doing visual effects and now I sort of want to clean my palate of that a little bit."It seems Nikki Finkie jumped the gun a bit on the news that he would be returning.
Fantastic Beasts is scheduled to hit Winter 2016
